09.15 Following overnight pumping of CARME chamber by Leybold turbo
      Pirani 1.00e-3 mbar IE514 2.83e-7 mbar

     The Leybold IE514 gauge currently in use is the CARME unit ( serial # 1054 ). The calibration data can be found at https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/CARME/56

10.10 Leak tester attached to backing line

      Valves to leak tester and turbo (connection to Edwards scroll pump in between) closed.

      Stop Edwards scroll pump with magnetic valve 'red' button - magnetic valves closes and Edwards scroll pump is switched off.

      Open valves to leak tester and then (slowly) turbo.

      Wait for leak tester to settle in e-12 mbar.l/s range. Leak tester pressure 3.6e-3 mbar. IE514 2.69e-7 mbar.

      Leak testing.
      Downstream DN100 flanges from CARME to dipole OK
      Lower NEG power connector feedhtrough (downstream chamber) OK
      Left hand side (looking downstream) bellows OK

      c. few e-9 mbar.l/s leak bottom left (lookimg downstream) of COF600 wire seal

      Additional torque to M16 bolts bottom left - c. 10 bolts -> 220Nm+

      c. 0.1-0.3e-11 mbar.l/s

      Further checks around circumference of COF600 seal reveal some small leaks c. e-11-12 mbar.l/s.? However background rate
      in leak tester too high for sensitive test - will await recovery to resume checking.

15.40 c. few e-9 mbar.l/s leak around magnetic valve - probably not an issue in terms of backing performance but may interfere with/confuse leak testing

      Leak tester 1.2e-9 mbar.l/s

Will leave CARME pumping with leak tester on roughing line and see whether leak rate recovers. If so, will continue leak tests tomorrow.
