Time to start reducing flow in order to determine a workable maintenance flow. This process will allow us to estimate how long the remaining gas will last. The scale shows 77kg remaining.<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>George<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div></div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><b>From: </b>"George Jacobs" <jacobsg@jlab.org><br><b>To: </b>dsg-ltcc@jlab.org, "Bob Miller" <rmiller@jlab.org>, "Doug Tilles" <tilles@jlab.org>, "Denny Insley" <dinsley@jlab.org>, "David Anderson" <dla@jlab.org>, "Morgan Cook" <mcookiv@jlab.org>, "Todd Ewing" <jtewing@jlab.org>, "Calvin Mealer" <mealer@jlab.org><br><b>Cc: </b>"Amrit Yegneswaran" <yeg@jlab.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, January 23, 2018 11:46:52 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>LTCC S5 Fill Status and Further leak check required<br></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000" data-mce-style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"><div>LTCC S5 C4F10 Fill Status<br></div><br><div>LTCC S5 is currently filling.

Fill continues, increasing the pressure at the gas inlet, blue line. Brown line indicated pressure at the protection bubbler is also increasing, but at a lesser rate, due to C4F10 carry over into the exhaust.</div><br><div>This is a good start. </div><br><div>Leak Check Required - Since I spliced in the S4 Bubbler and removed the bubbler piping in order to changed the oil levels in it, these connection should be leak checked ASAP. As can be seen on the pressure chart, detector pressure was very low when I reconnected the lines. Not enough pressure for a good leak check. An additional leak check should be performed using the sniffer, both at the bubbler connection splice Tee and the Bubbler piping connections. <br></div><br><div>Thanks,<br></div><div>George<br></div><div><br></div><br><div>-- <br></div><div>George Jacobs<br>Physics Detector Support Group<br>Jefferson Lab<br>12000 Jefferson Ave.<br>STE 12<br>Newport News, VA 23606<br><br>(office) 757-269-7115<br><br>(cell) 757-876-0480<br><br>(email) jacobsg@jlab.org<br><br>(website) https://userweb.jlab.org/~jacobsg</div></div><br></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__SIG_POST__">-- <br></div><div>George Jacobs<br>Physics Detector Support Group<br>Jefferson Lab<br>12000 Jefferson Ave.<br>STE 12<br>Newport News, VA 23606<br><br>(office) 757-269-7115<br><br>(cell) 757-876-0480<br><br>(email) jacobsg@jlab.org<br><br>(website) https://userweb.jlab.org/~jacobsg<br></div></div></body></html>
