| Turbopumping IVC and cryostat vacuum jacket overnight (for more leak checks). Mixture in dump. | |
| 1436 | Turn on leak detecter to warm up |
| 1450 | Turbo on cryostat vacuum jacket (CVJ) and IVC = 46 nbar. With Turbo valved out for a minute cryostat vacuum jacket (CVJ) and IVC = 0.86 ubar (8.6e-4 mbar). |
| 1503 | Close CVJ valve to only pump on the IVC for leak check |
| 1520 | Turbo on IVC = 30 nbar. With Turbo valved out for a minute IVC = 0.34 ubar. |
| 1532 | Start leak detector with turbo still pumping, LD on IVC = 3.75 pbarL/s (3.75e-9 mbarL/s) with IVC = 30 nbar. |
| 1543 | Leak detector on IVC = 38 pbarL/s (3.8e-8 mbarL/s). Squirt some helium at stripline elbow: no change |
| 1553 | Turn on 3He pump. Let mixture into fridge through V14, V3, V1, manually turn open Still Gate valve and open Condenser Speedivalve. No change in leak signal. |
| 1555 | Pump mixture back to dump. Open V9 and then open V6 to 13% at first, wait for fridge pressure to start to fall. Then close V14 and open V6 to ~30%. |
| 1630 | Finish pumping mixture to dump. After P1< 0.1 mbar, close fridge valves (manually close Still Gate valve and close Condenser Speedivalve, close V1, V3). Close V6 (set V6 to 0, wait for light to go off), then close V9 (record the pressure in G2) and turn off 3He pump. G2 = 704.9 mbar |
| 1650 | Keep turbo pumping on the CVJ for overnight |
