Pumping HAM6

We started pumping down HAM6 this morning with scroll pump cart. Kyle and I also He leak checked HAM1 east/west doors and found no leaks with a background of 5e-9 Torr-L/s. HAM1 pumpdown pending. We also blew down both chambers and measured dew points:

HAM1:  -26°C

HAM6:  -18°C

HAM6 dew point is relatively high, likely from purge air being valved out for hours/days prior to door installation.

Vacuum personnel should be notified each time the purge air valve(s) changes state.
