[Hallb-engineering] Solenoid Status Update

[Dave Kashy]

Lots of progress welding last night by Steve with Luke and Denny!
This morning Josh finished the last welds before we leak test the piping inside the shield.
We are pumping on the internal piping and reservoirs now and starting the leak check - phase 2 

When this is complete all internal MLI piping will be applied. 

If there is any more electrical work to do inside the shield it needs to be done soon or it will delay installation of the lower shield. (I spoke to Probir about this just a few minutes ago)

Then the final 8 internal welds will be made and the 80K MLI. 

VJ will be trimmed to length using the data from recent surveys. Kelly can we get this today?

Sharing good news:

1) the Pressure tests of the Solenoid Magnet shield piping was completed this morning at 320psig.
2) the final leak tests were done by 
a) bagging fitting on the end of each tube
b) filling the bags and waiting 1-3 minutes depending on which end we were pumping on
c) spraying helium into the IV a couple times to confirm no internal leaks.

We we had background levels in the magnet of 1 to 2 to E-9 torr*liter/sec on each of the tests.

See photos.

We repeated the flow test of the BL side just to confirm blockage during repair (see attached file)(no significant change ... measurement error difference)

Also today we have welded more of the magnet primary helium circuit and started purging and fit up of the Magnet Reservoir (MR) differential pressure level transducer (high pressure side) tube coupling.

Also Probir/Ruben and Renuka took advantage of breaks in the action to make more electrical measurements AND the survey team was back to take some data that they said had some issues from yesterday.

Highlights

Monday:
Day shift fit up the MR return piping and tacked it in.
Second shift 
1) found a 1E-6 leak on the BL shield circuit at the connection between the rectangular tube and the bi-braze connection.
2) Fully welded out the MR 4K return line 

Tuesday: 
Day shift
1) Pin pointed two leaks with snoop and made repair plan with Mike Martin included
2) Completed flow tests of BL and BR flow tubes and as hoped they are about the same so the temperature of the shields should be similar both left and right side (see attached file)
3) Continued welding on 4K Reservoir piping
4) Did studies on Z supports 
5) Survey group took data on SST to Magnet and magnet bottom plate to save time with SST clamshell triming and fitup

Second shift
1) repair of the leaks in the aluminum weld
2) full repeat of the cold shock with better N2 reservoirs to assure better cooling
3) leak test of the repair (successful with NDL at 1E-9)

Today:
Day shift plan
1) Pressure test Magnet shield circuits again to 320psig
2) Final leak test of Magnet shield circuits
3) Final flow test of repaired shield circuit
4) Analysis of the Z support
5) Welding of the MR 1/2" and 1/4" OD tubing
6) More electrical tests this evening ( not to disturb welding progress per RF) 

Second Shift:
1) Fitting and welding of Magnet shield circuit piping to SST shield piping
2) Vaporizer leak testing and transport to Hall B?
