Minutes of feedthrough meeting of 8 August, 2000.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Present: GV, Pof, MLenc, AD, RL

*) Milestones:

	- 46 Vacuum Cables arrived on 1 August.  None of the 
	  cables have serial number labels attached, and
	  consequently cannot be tested.  Bob Evans of FCI
	  has been notified that electrical tests cannot
	  start until serial number labels have been received.

	- All warm flanges have now been drilled and tapped
	  to accept the flange heater.

	- FT0 was installed into the cold test station, and
	  the pigtails fitted with jumpers.  No tests have
	  been done yet.

	- During show-and-tell, Mark showed some nylon straps
	  with buckles to tie down the feedthroughs in the
	  shipping crates.  Pof suggested using some high density
	  foam on the wood cradles of the shipping crates to
	  add some elasticity as the feedthrough is tensioned
	  onto the cradles with the nylon straps.

	- The 27 vacuum cables that arrived on 28 July have
	  been tested and analyzed.  Two cables were failed,
	  one due to a bent springclip and the other due to
	  a handwritten serial number label that duplicates
	  a serial number from a previous batch.  The latter
	  cable will be tested once FCI has provided us with
	  some of their unused serial number labels.  Of the
	  remaining 25 vacuum cables:

		Impedance ranged from 29 -> 37 ohm

		Resistance ranged from 0.846 -> 1.057 ohm
			1 calibration pair identified

		Contact Resistance ranged from 0.015 -> 0.021 ohm
			3 cables with 1 open
			1 cable with 2 opens

		Cross Talk ranged from 0.112 -> 0.380%

	  All of these electrical test results are acceptable,
	  and therefore these 25 cables are PASSED.

*) Greg and Aaron will take to TRIUMF 20 warm flanges, 20 cold
   flanges, and 12 bellows for ultrsonic cleaning on Wednesday
   and Thursday (August 9,10).

*) Cold tests for FT0 are still scheduled for next week.  The
   200 litre LN2 dewar will be picked up this Friday to be filled.

*) Mark and Terry will keep in contact with BNL regarding the 
   electrical connections for the temperature sensors and 
   heater wiring, and will respond to Pierre Pailler regarding
   his request for a presentation at the September LARG week.

*) Aboud confirmed to Roy that the four tapped holes on the
   warm flange are required for manouvering the feedthrough during
   installation.  Consequently, the heater plates will have to
   be attached afterwards.  Mark has pictures of the BNL heater,
   showing that they too cover the four tapped holes.

Agenda for next week:
