[Luke, Tyler]

On the 27th Tyler and I ran the RGA leak test again with the electron multiplier on. These were the leaks we measured. The chamber's overall pressure was at ~6e-8 torr. 

Connection Leak rate (torr)
Tee - RGA 3.92e-11 (very low)
Tee - Cal leak 4.77e-11 (very low)
Tee - ZLR (2.75"-4.5") 4.97e-11 (very low)
ZLR (2.75"-4.5") - Reducing Cross 2.45e-9   (low)
Cross - Elbow 7.36e-11 (very low)
Elbow - Pressure sensor 2.36e-11 (very low)
Cross - Turbo pump (small) 8.07e-9   (lowish)
Cross - Gate valve 4.02e-11 (very low)
Gate valve - Port 2.27e-9   (low)
Port - ZLR (6.0"-8") 1.11e-9   (low)
ZLR (6.0"-8") - Turbo pump (large) 1.00e-10 (very low)
Port - Pressure sensor 1.05e-10 (very low)
Port - Up to air valve 1.08e-11 (very low)
Port - Blank 5.58e-10 (very low)
Port - Feed though port 1.21e-11 (very low)
