TM2 and TCS vacuum system has been connected. I started all turbo pumps. Everything is good so far.

Entry  Friday, May 13, 2016, 10:08, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, , Helium pressure test on TM2 HS and window line at CS with new Lp Ta target 

These two lines are passed helium pressure test this morning. The LD base leak rate 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec. The base pressure 0.0 X E-4 torr. Helium pressure 70 psi. applied helium to both line for 5minutes each. No response on LD during the test.

Entry  Friday, May 20, 2016, 10:38, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, Ta#48, Helium pressure test on TM2 with new Lp Ta target 

LD base LR: 0.0 X E-9. Base pressure:0.0 X E-4. 70 psi helium. 5 minutes each circuit.

window 0.0X E-9  
HS 0.0X E-9  
EE 0.0X E-9  
Ta+ 0.0X E-9  
Ta- 0.0X E-9  
coil1 R-U 0.0X E-9  
Coil2 P-Q 5.0X E-9  
Tube- 5.1X E-9  
Tube+ 1.1X E-8  
MSP 3.5X E-9  

The bigger leak found on MSP before was gone. Leak rate are smaller on all circuits  comparing to before. 

The leak rate on 1 hour total lines test at 70 psi is better also which is 6.6 XE-8 atm.cc/sec this time. 

Entry  Tuesday, May 24, 2016, 10:39, David Wang, Conditioning Station, Standard Operation, TM2, Ta#48, TM2 and TCS turbo-pumps have been switched off this morning.
