A series of fifteen 5-cm-aperture, 1-m-long SSC model dipole magnets with various types of end design and cable have been designed and fabricated at National Laboratory for High Energy Physics (KEK). The ramp-rate-dependent quench tests of the magnets KEKNo.3 to No.15 were performed in a 4.2-K vertical cryostat. A ramp-rate-dependent test of the magnet KEKNo.6 was also performed in 1.7-K pressurized superfluid helium. Special ramp tests so called {open_quotes}heating{close_quotes} and {open_quotes}cooling{close_quotes} experiments were also performed on the magnet KEKNo.10, as well as heat induced quench tests using the spot heaters installed in midplane of inner coils of the magnets KEKNo.7 and No.15 and in the splice part of the magnet KEKNo.13Y.
