At PP1Both SCT and Pixel No manifolding in ID volumeManifold at PP1

Alternative for Pixel:• Patch panel with manifold at

end of pixel package• Small connectors between

staves and PPP• Larger connectors & pipes

between PPP and PP1

Fitting tests


Until recently, we were focused on development of the Fitting, optimizing the geometry and the properties of the different surfaces.We performed test in order to validate the different designs, focusing on the minimal torque needed to achieve leak tightness.

Main developments

The last few months we have also worked on the "commissioning" of the fittings for routine use by other labs, for the cooling loop tests (stainless steel) and for the next stave prototypes (Ti).This involved studying the usable torque range, in order to deduce a recommended torque and the tooling.

2 - Current R&D goals and program


Base line design

Test @cold• 4 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested -

OK • 1 MaleTA6V /1 female Stainless steel tested - OK

3 –Fittings R&D

Test @room temperature• 21 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested -

OK • 6 MaleTA6V /1 female Stainless steel tested – OK• 2 tests to find ultimate torque : 8 N.m• Many more combinations tested in variations of the

design

Tightness optimisation• Define the optimal parameters (friction on the surfaces and

the threads• Tooling needed to control the torque

3 –Fittings R&D – tests @cold


Next steps The base line solution for PP1 is defined

Increase the number of tested combinations with the base line designKeep on performing cold testsThermal cycling (100 cycles)Simple tests with liquid CO2 (bottle)Determine the limits of use for pressureStudy the tooling needed to control the torqueStudy the integration aspects

3 –Fittings R&D – next steps

Optimized design will be studied

OD reduced to 8mm (maybe 7 mm)Reduction of the amount of material


Cooling loop production and tests3 –Stainless steel cooling loops

Goal Cooling loop made of stainless steel will be tests @ Nikhef

Production Pipes from NikhefFitting and bushings made @LAPPBrazing made by Bodycote -> new surface treatment made of graphiteProduction samples made of same components and brazed at the same time as the cooling lines tested @LAPP (QA procedure)Should be delivered on Week 46

Fitting tests Design developed for Ti -> need to be check for stainless steel


Stainless steel fitting

Test @cold• To be done

3 –Stainless steel cooling loops

Test @room temperature• 13 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested - OK • 2 tests to find ultimate torque : 8 N.m ->no leak• Dismounting/mounting torque 4 N.m –No leak• Dismounting/mounting torque 2 N.m –leak flow few 10-7

Kept under 20 Bar He 2 hours : leak flow -> few 10-9 to few 10-8

Kept under 20 Bar He 17 hours : leak flow -> same evolution (He diffusion around the leak detector ?)

• 20 mounting/dismounting : OK


4 –EB welding and brazing

Status 30 samples brazed and 30 EB welded, changing the material and the cleaning

FinishedBrazed an EB samples were tested @RT ->OKCold tests on part of the brazed samples ->OK

In progressFinish the cold tests (mostly finished, OK) Perform thermal cyclingMetallographic analysis to be performed @CERN
