Anders reported a possible air leak on TM2 and TCS by watching RGA  this morning. I found the quick connector on F terminal on the top of the module is leaking air. It is only used as "X" terminal for Febiad without  water. So, it should be blind capped instead of installing a quick connector. It was installed with a  blind cap before. I borrowed it for leak check on coil lines at SHC, but forgot to put it back right away. Instead, I put a quick connector on it later. This caused the problem. Anyway The TCS need to be vented , and a blind cap  will be installed on the F terminal.

2014-04-18, 9:24AM, I changed the quick connector with a blind cap on F terminal. the rough pump is started now.

Weekly update.This is the last update on 2016 winter shut down schedule. The new TH schedule for beam130  will be posted weekly after this. All jobs in winter shut down schedule were finished on time.

Post MS project and Excel    target hall schedule for beam schedule 130 see attachments 1,2

Update TH schedule 130 with TM3 jobs involved in.see attachments 4,5.

2016-04-29.  Weekly update schedule according to changes. See attachments 6,7.

The following water circuits in TM2 are connected at TCS and running with water now : target oven+ - ( one circuit), tube heater+ -( one circuit), coil1 and 2(one circuit), MSP, and EE. The HS and window are open circuits now so they can not be supplied with water.  During the check before we knew HS and window circuit were close to perfectly sealed. So, The test result should not be affected without them

The TCS water pumps are started at 8:28 AM. All TCS high vacuum gauge readings are getting slight better after that.

 TCS water system worked fine overnight. I turned off TCS water system at 6:16 AM this morning. Start of purging TM2 water lines for helium pressure test again this morning.

2016-4-28 7:58AM. Disconnected TM2 water lines at TCS. Purged them with compression air each for 5 minutes. 

Anders and I finished the most part of TM2 water lines helium pressure test yesterday.I list the system parameters and test result as below:

TCS  IG1: 9.8XE-8 torr,  TCS IG2: 9.6Xe-7 torr, TCS IG1S: 3.5XE-9 torr, TCS CG1A: 10 m torr

Helium pressure: 70 psi. Test time: 5 minutes for each individual circuit.  1 hour for all  lines together test.

 Leak detector base leak rate:0.0 X E -9 atm.cc/sec, base pressure 0.0X E-4 torr. LD was always restored or closely restored to the bottom  scale after each individual test.

The HS and Window lines will be tested later with new target installed and  window line gaskets restored.

  I switched off TCS and TM2 vacuum pumps. The TM2 will be disconnected at TCS today and moved to silo on next Monday.

Update schedule weekly. See attachment 1,2,3.

They were moved for TM3 inspection job last week. All the bolts on the panel are hand tight only now since they will be removed out for camera installation during next stage inspection.

Chad and I leak checked the TM2 HS and window lines after new target installation.  The window line was very easy pumped down on LD. But, The HS line only could pumped to 2-3 torr at first. Chad changed the VCR gaskets on HS line(target). It solved the problem. The LD could pumped  both of Window and HS lines to the bottom scale. Chad sprayed lots helium around the VCR joints.  No leak has been found. WE will do helium pressurizing test on them at TCS.

I changed TCS tank top flange seal(o-ring 42.00"ID X 0.275" DIA) this morning before TM2 was moved to TCS.

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

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.

The HV  cover is installed on to TM2 after the connections. The HV key is returned back to B2 level. The TCS Faraday cage is locked.

I let isac opp switched off ITW turbo-pumps. The argon vent valve in electrical room is opened. The ITW argon venting will be started  soon.

Disconnected  TM2 at TCS(vacuum system still on). Purged all TM2 water lines for helium pressure test.

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

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. 

The TCS and TM2 are still under vacuum without venting

Weekly update the TH schedules. See attachments 1, 2,3.

TM2 has been connected in ITW by Dan.M and David.W. All turbo-pumps have been started. Everything is good so fine.
