Chad and I did the helium spray leak check on TM2 GE and MSP water lines at SHC this morning. We confirmed the GE leak on water blocks. We can not found the MSP leak by using the helium spray since its leak rate in TCS is much smaller than GE leak.  The leak check process are as below:
Leak detector are calibrated before the check.
GE lines : Base leak rate 0.0 X E-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0 XE-4 torr.
Chad sprayed 5 psi helium to GE lines soldering joints  for 5 second, no response on leak detector.
Chad sprayed 5 psi helium to GE lines water blocks( between blocks seal surface) for 5 seconds, Leak detector response to 8 XE-9 atm.cc/sec right away.
Chad sprayed  5 psi helium to GE lines soldering joints for 5 seconds again, No response on leak detector.
Chad sprayed 5 psi helium around the source tray and to vacuum duct for 5 seconds more, No response on leak detector.
MSP lines: Base leak rate 0.0X E-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0 X E-4 torr.  Chad did same thing as he did on GE lines. no response on LD. Chad repeated the test and prolonged the spray time to 10 seconds, No response.
The conclusion: It is pretty clear we have a leak on GE line water blocks seal.  MSP lines leak could not be found by helium spray in SHC since it is a small leak.
 

TM#2 was moved into the south hot cell by 08:30.

SiC#32 has been moved from the south hot cell to the spent target storage. See attached PDF for details.

TM2 vacuum system has been disconnected at TCS. Venting is in process now.

I stopped TM2 and TCS vacuum pumps. It will be vented and disconnected this afternoon for tomorrow  moving.   

TM2 has been helium pressure tested in ITW and TCS. They are both tested with 70psi helium, each circuit for 3minutes. 

The leak detector base leak rate: 0.0X E-9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0 xE-4 torr  for both ITW and TCS. The test results are:

 2016-11-24: Checked again and added result into this elog.  No essential change has been found. MSP still has the biggest leak rate. David

Electrical checks of the TM#2 with the old SiC#32 and without the target. See attached PDFs.

SiC#32 has been open for inspection.

TM2 vacuum system has been connected at TCS. Started roughing pump. Everything is good so far.

I would like to post the spreadsheet of target hall schedule for beam schedule 130(Apr to Sep) first. The MS project of TH schedule for  beam schedule 130 is under construction, and will be posted later.

TM#2 with no target has been moved to the conditioning station from the south hot cell.

Chad and I finished the first round check on Tm2 water lines. The lines and spots checked are: Target oven + and - (front side braze joints) , Tube heater+and -(front side braze joints and water blocks), coil2 and coil 1(front side braze joints and area close to water blocks),. No leak has been found on all above of them.  The last, we checked   the GE which has the biggest leak so far. The leak detector base leak rate only can get to 4XE-9 atm.cc/sec. Chad sprayed helium very close to GE water block, and I got a quick response on leak detector. The leak rate climbed from 4Xe-9 atm.cc/sec to 1.4 atm.cc/sec. We confirmed the GE is leaking now. The exact location need to be pinpointed later once the containment box is out after the module is back to SHC. The module will be moved to TCS tomorrow morning and pressurized again there. Anders will use RGA to monitor the helium response during the check.  

SiC#32 has been removed from TM2. Quick inspection shows some troubling discoloration on the water cooled connection blocks of C and D as well as the left target heater A.

As for the target, both legs are broken and is has the normal "charge up" marks on the 9 pin connector.

TM#2 with SiC#32 has been moved from the west station to the south hot cell.

Two of resin tank filter cartridges(supply and return) are changed today. Old cartridges and bagged and tagged. The contact field on them are 650usv/hr. The new cartridges are fiber-glass, Triumf store item. After replacement, the field on contact with the filter case are about 10 usv/hr. But the field on contact with top resin tank  has been increased from 45usv/hr  to 225 usv/hr

 The flow rate is relatively stable before and after change. See attachment

Update Schedule according to changes.See attachment1, 2.

 Re-post it after some minor correction See attachment 3,4.

Dan and I finished TM4 and ITE annual leak check on primary and secondary vacuum vessel. We found one leak on a KF25  blank off which is located on the top of the service cap. It is a low E-7 atm.cc/sec range leak. But, it is very close to turbo-pumps so ITE IG1 and other gauges are not affected by it very much. It is an easy fix. TheKF -25 center ring on the blank off  will be replaced  after vent . It be will leak checked again at CS after replacement.  That is only leak we found on TM4 and ITE primary and secondary vessel air to vaccum leak check.

Dan and I also finished the helium pressure test on all TM4 using water circuits. 70 psi helium. base LR 0.0xE-9 atm.cc/sec. All of them are leak free. No any response has been found on leak detector during test.

Dan and I leak checked TM2 and ITW primary vacuum vessel. It was found a 1X E-7 atm.cc/sec leak on top T flange seal between TM2 and dump module in first time check. But it is not a repeatable leak. I checked the same spot and around area two more times with increased helium volume.It did not show up again. The first response could  be a helium drift to dry scroll pump. I will check it again later. The primar vacuum vessel on ITW and TM2 are leak free. 

Dan and I found a small  leak on ITW dump module  top flange seal. The leak detector got a response  to 7xE-9 atm.cc/sec when I spray the helium to west side of dump module top flange. We tested again, and got same result. The o-ring which seals ITW dump module top flange is deteriorating. It need to be replaced at a proper time. This is the only air to vacuum leak we confirm so far on primary and secondary vacuum vessel on TM2 and ITW. The module and station no other air to vacuum leak.

The TM2 water lines helium pressure tested started in ITW. The helium pressure 70psi. The result so far is: Window: good, GE: huge leak directly shoot over E-7 atm.cc/sec( need to be confirmed tomorrow), HS: good, EE: good, MSP: tiny leak which is response to 3-4xE-9 atm.cc/sec. Coil 1 : small leak which is response to 1.3XE-8 atm.cc/sec. Tomorrow, We will test the rest water lines on TM2which are TA+, TA-, Tube+, Tube-, and coil 2. And We will confirm the GE huge leak at the last.

Finished the helium pressure test on TM2 water line.70 psi helium, The result of the rests 5 circuits: coil 1: leak 7.2xE-8atm.cc/sec,Ta(+): small leak 1.7XE-8 atm.cc/sec, Ta(-) small leak 8.7xE-9atm.cc/sec,Tube(-) 1.5 x E-8 atm.cc/sec. Tube(+)small leak 3.7xE-8 atm.cc/sec.    We repeated the helium pressure test on GE. There is a huge leak on TM2 GE circuit. The leak detector shoot up to E-7  atm.cc/sec right after the helium was applied.It went up to E-6 range in less than 1 minutes.

All water lines on TM2 and TM4 are purged for upcoming water lines helium pressure test.
