<div dir="ltr">Hello Marc and Chuck,<br><br><div>I was in communication with Kondo and he said that the usual operational flow rate of a GEM module that we have will be 225 cc/min whereas the max flow rate we will go would be 300 cc/min. (The 75 cc/min flow rate is for the "idling" state where we just flow Nitrogen to prevent any humidity getting in to the cambers/modules)</div><div> Therefore, the flow meters we use should give us the opportunity to go slightly higher than 300 cc/min but probably it doesn't need to go as high as 500 cc/min as the ones we have right now in the gas panel. <br>However, like Chuck said the main issue with the current flow meters have been their high sensitivity to the turning knob making it difficult to set the flow meters to small values like 75 cc/min.<br><br>I'd be happy to participate in a bluejeans meeting to discuss the situation.

Thanks for the update. I will set up a bluejeans meeting this week so we can all discuss the situation concerning the panel. I have added this email thread to the mailing list (I added you before the holiday break), at this stage it is very important to that
the DSG stay informed on the leak checking of this prototype to be able to make any changes necessary for the operational gas panels.</div>

Gas flow set at 75 cc/min results in the flowmeters being barely on and at the bottom of the scale. We can find out from Anu what the typical flow will be and specify the flowmeters with one that puts the setting in the middle of the range. (maybe higher quality
ones with glass vials?)</div>

During your leak checking, can you make note of what tubing was changed out. We are keeping a record of issues with the system. I have provided a spread sheet with the two connection for each length of tubing. If you could put a yes or no in the indicated cell
