Subject: Testing Chamber Vacuum 

On 19/11/2018:

We mounted the following in the chamber:

  • Iris frames - no S2 detectors or mylar
  • Si pin diode mount with 0.9um mylar - no diode
  • Target ladder with blank frames - same configuration as elog entry #41

At 15:20 we started roughing pumps Ecodry 1 and 2. We opened the manual gate valve followed by the T1600 valve.

After reaching ~10^-2 mBar we started the following turbos:

  • Up 1
  • Up 2
  • Down 1
  • Down 2
  • T1600
  • Entrance 3
  • CSSM

By 15:30 the CSSM turbo had reached 56 krpm operating speed and the Up and Down turbos had reached 833 Hz operating speed.

At 19:51 just before we left the lab the pressures read, in mBar:

  • TPU1 = 3.7e-6
  • TPU2 = 6.9e-7
  • TPD1 = 1.0e-6
  • TPD2 = 1.2e-6
  • CHUP = 6.0e-6
  • CHDW = 1.4e-5
