|
Last week drilling of the additional required holes in the SMP shield box was completed in the Target Hall. This morning the shield box (IRH1675)
was moved to its final installation position in the silo area on the B2 level. The vacuum vessel (IRH1806) was then installed inside the shield box.
The center of the vacuum vessel is 2-3" north of the south travel limit of the crane. Photos as well as measurements of the final position are |

|
With the SMP vacuum vessel now installed inside the shield box, a test was performed to measure the torque required to rotate the vessel. At a
moment arm distance of 2.0m a force of 89N was required to rotate the vessel (with no module installed) resulting in a torque of 178Nm. Based on
this, the coefficient of rolling resistance (CRR) was calculated to be 0.007; This is fairly close to available data for similar applications such |

The SMP module support flange sub-assembly (IRH1755) was installed today according to drawing IRH1683. Dow Corning 111 sealing compound was used
to keep the o-ring adhered to the lower groove during transportation and installation. The TCS shield plug (IRH1646) was then installed on the SMP
module flange which has vacuum connections for leak checking. Vacuum was pulled on the SMP vessel using the Varian 979 leak detector. After |
