Previous Day

Status Warming. All mixture in dump. LN2 traps warm. 1K Pot needle valve open. Nitrogen exchange gas in IVC. Cryostat vacuum jacket turbopumping out.
1000 Turbo on cryostat vacuum jacket = 34 nbar. With pump valved out, → 1.9 µbar. With pump valved in again and vacuum jacket port valve closed, → 19 nbar. So the vacuum jacket has more residual pressure than the hose does.
1010 Close cryostat vacuum jacket valve.
1350 Check IVC pressure: 0.64 atm. (surprised it's this low.)
Let more N2 into IVC until it reaches 1 atm
1640 Disassemble and remove lead/poly shield

Working on 4He Pump rebuild.
