The Magnet Test Laboratory (MTL) will test a considerable portion of the total SSC superconducting magnet production in order to control the manufacturing process and verify magnet performance requirements. With ten cryogenic test stands, MTL is capable of housing tests of 30 dipoles and 5 quadrupoles per month. For further understanding and improving the performance of the SSC magnets, there will be two R&D test stands for extensively instruments were allocated and installed inside the prototype and first production magnets, as well as in the feed and end cans. A data acquisition and control system is developed. A comprehensive cryogenic system (including refrigerator, cryogenic distribution box and, feed/end cans), vapor-cooled power leads, anti-cryostats (warm bore), and other associated systems, have been designed, developed and tested. This paper will briefly discuss the progress to date.
