[Aiden, Luis]
Luis and Aiden vented the chamber today. We closed off the RGA section and then proceeded to open the the vent on the main body after turning off the turbo and backing pump. We then opened the lid and placed in all the stainless steel hardware that will be used in evaluating the FROSTI optics and heater elements. We also inspected the weldments before closing it up. Check the clean and bake data base where there is now a new section outlining the parts in each test. We then closed the lid, tightened the bolts, turned the backing pump back on and let the pressure drop until it was below 1e-1 torr. Then turned the turbo pump back on and after a few hours the pressure was back down to 4.16e-7 torr. The RGA was turned off during all of this and was turned back on when done even though we closed both valves to keep the RGA volume under vacuum. |
