TCS:IG1S is reporting vacuum levels that seem to be too low (1E-10 to 1E-8 Torr). The gauge was connected to the controller for IG1, which showed the same value. A degas was performed for ~5 min.

I stopped TCS vacuum pumps for coming TM3 move.

TM3 turbo-pumps are started at TCS. We will keep pumps running until next Wednesday.

All TCS and TM3  vacuum pumps are started successfully.

Tm1 has been moved to TCS this morning. All turbo-pumps are started successfully at TCS and TM1.

TCS and Tm1 vacuum pumps are switched off this morning. TM1 TP1and TP2 work fine during this test period. Tm1 will be moved back to silo this morning.

TM1 IG1 stopped work during the test period. It could be broken. We will only replace this gauge if TM1 is used in ITW again.

 TM#4 was moved to the conditioning station from the south hot cell. The module was moved with out the containment box.

  Helium pressure test on TM4  water lines is done this morning. 70 psi helim , 1 minutes time to each circle. The result:

A(oven+): 0.00xE-9 atm.cc/sec

B(Oven -): 8.1Xe-7 atm.cc/sec

C(tube -): 0.00xE-9 atm.cc/sec

D(tube+): 1.0xE-5 atm.cc/sec

PQ(coil 2): capped on top. water lines were removed because of leak

RU(Coil1): 0.00xE-9 atm.cc/sec

EE: 0.00xE-9 atm.cc/sec

MSP: 0.00xE-9 atm.cc/sec

HS: No target, capped on top. It was fine on last target check in 2017 Oct.

window: Capped on top. Containment box is not installed.

The leak check on D line caused the IG1 small response during test.

B and D circle are double checked. The reasults are same.

D line leak is in E-5 atm.cc/sec range. It is possible to locate it by using helium spray method in SHC. The containment box is not on so it should be easy to do it.

Switch on IGA gauge at TCS and apply helium and water at certain psi to check the IGA response may give us more information on these leaks.

 All lines were test in last year shut down. They were good.

BIAS only. Water lines looped on top. Containment box off.

At 8:50 AM today, I applied water to TM4 tube heater - (B) line at TCS. All high vacuum gauges got response on this action. Water is leaking through B line on TM4.

It should be D line . David 2018-06-05

I did a helium pressure test on TM2 water lines at TCS. We will remove the TM2 source tray soon so this test is a reference check for future new source. The result:

Helium 70 psi, 2 minutes to each circiut. Leak detector  base LR.0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec, base pressure  0.0x e-4torr

Ta+(A)  0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec

Ta-(B)  0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec

Tu-(C) 7.8x e-7 atm.cc/sec

Tu+(D) 3.5x e-7 atm.cc/sec

Coil 2(PU) 0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec

Coil 1(RU) 0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec

EE 8.2 x e-9atm.cc/sec

MSP 0.0x e-9atm.cc/sec

Containment box window  0.0 xe-9atm.cc/sec

HS  no target and opened. No test.

All water lines on module side in TM2  should be in good condition according to this test . The leak response we found on B and C lines are from water block seals mostly.           

I switched off TM2 and TCS vacuum pumps. The TCS and TM2 will be under vacuum without pumping.

Shorted TGHT with new high current connector assembly and heated to 600 A. Temperature measured on half way point on cable ~ 70 deg C and on connector ~60 deg C at 600 A, 45 / 40 deg C at 400 A. Target Hall locked out during test

 TM#2 with UC#23 has been moved from the south hot cell to the conditioning station.

I did a helium pressure test on TM2 HS line at TCS. At 70psi helium, the leak rate is 2.5 xE-7 atm.cc/sec. I think this is the number that close to result before which is 1.7xE-9 atm.cc/sec. WE know there is a small leak on this water block seal. Chad  and I did helium  spray check yesterday at SHC. It was good at bottom scale.  No much worry on this low E-7 range leak.

TM4 has been connected to TCS. vacuum system and water system are started. Everything looks fine.

Chad and I leak checked TM4 HS line after UCx 24 is installed. No leak at 5xE-9atm.cc/sec.  Today, I did helium pressure test on HS line at TCS. No leak at 70 psi helium 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec.

I stopped TM4 and TCS vacuum system at TCS. TCS and TM4 is venting with argon now.

 TM#4 with UC#24 has been moved from the conditioning station to the east target station.
