2025 April vent - VAC diary
Late entry

4-16 (Wednesday) activities:
- The previously received, poorly packaged Inficon gauge has been tested, and found functional. These tests continue, and also the HAM1 vacuum interlock gauge will be installed soon
- The BSC8 Annulus Ion Pump - after some aux cart pumping - is now able to hold the annulus pressure, at the mid- E-6 Torr region
- The rough pumpdown of the corner has started at 16:20, at the OMC turbo station, with a pair of ISP-1000 mobile pumping carts. In 4 hours, ~185 Torr was achieved, which means 1930 l/s effective pumping speed, which well corresponds with the 2000 l/s theoretical speed of the pumps
- The rough pumping still needs to be terminated in the end of the days, and so it was at 20:20
- All the turbo stations have been prepared for the HV pumping at the corner
