LHO LVEA HEPI Welding Complete
Welding finished Tuesday; system pressured tested with argon.  One leak was found near HAM4 and was repaired this afternoon.  The system (LVEA Portion) is up to 125psi and holding.  Will sit at this for a couple days to make sure there are no small leaks.  The Actuator Hoses still need to be connected to the 4-way valves at HAM6 NW corner.  Otherwise, all connections on the hardline side are permanent.  We will do a check round of confirming the Actuator Hose connections to the 4-way valves are tight and next week we'll start flushing the hardline side.
I'll report in a couple days on the pressure test.

Meanwhile, as usual, do not operate any valves on the HEPI system.
