HAM7 Vented, Doors Prepped for Removal

Jordan, Randy

HAM7 and the relay tube were vented this morning following venting procedures E2300169 and M1300464. RV1 remained closed along with FCV1 and FCV2, FC-A section remains under vacuum. 

Purge air particle counts were zeros, and the measured dewpoint at the HAM7 point of entry was -41.7C. Chamber was vented in ~2 hours to 780 torr, then the chamber was blown down to atmosphere ~762 torr.

Annulus ion pump was isolated, powered off and the annulus volume was vented using dry nitrogen.

After the chamber and annulus were vented, I wiped down the door flanges with IPA wipes, then Randy and I removed all but four bolts from the -Y door, +X door, and the 2x 12"CF blanks on the +Y door to be used for ISI access.

Will close WP 13283 once doors are removed next week.
