    Studies were made to investigate the possibility of removing oxide impurities from Na-cooled reactor systems by cold trapping in conjunction with fill-drain tanks. (W.L.H.)

    A non-contact system for alignment of objects on mass properties measuring instruments is described. Test parts can be aligned to within the capabilities of the user and the fixture to make the adjustments. The current implementation can align objects to less than .001 inches at two points with final requested adjustments of a few ten-thousands of an inch. The non-contact capability allows the alignment of objects which are too compliant or fragile for traditional contacting measurement methods. Also, this system allows the definition of a reference axis on objects which are not perfectly symmetric. The reference axis is defined atmore » the top of the object by an appropriate marker and defined at the bottom by a best fit circle through the surface at a specified height. A general description of the hardware, procedures, and results are presented for the non-user. Appendices which contain a complete description of the software, usage, and mathematical implementation are provided for the reader who is interested in using or further developing the system.« less

  • This technical note describes the conventions which will be used to identify the components of the RHIC Cryogenic System. These conventions consist of four major groupings: a valve numbering system; an instrumentation numbering system; a piping identification system; and symbols used on schematic drawings.

    The coldmass path weld in the RHIC dipole magnet is a fillet weld attaching a circular cover over the tooling holes in the coldmass shells. These welds were found undersized on the first 30 magnets manufactured by Grumman. Subsequent inspection found the weld concavity to be as great as 0.050 inches for a specified 3/16 inch fillet. The test sample was instrumented using strain gauges and dial indicators, then hydraulically pressurized in conformance with the ASME boiler and pressure vessel code. Testing was discontinued at 6, 000 psi without failure of the test specimen. The test data shows the non-conformingmore » weld meets ASME boilder and pressure vessel code requirements.« less

  • Conclusions from an examination of RHIC cold mass support are that: the most severe loading condition anticipated for the cold mass support posts is the axial load due to a helium pressure imbalance over the length of the magnet; the worst conceivable case is the pressure upset occurring during a cool down or warm up of the superconducting magnet; the center post cradle must be properly designed and tightly installed to transfer a bending moment; the worst probably case is a pressure upset occurring while the magnet is either warm or cold; and the estimate of the worst probably casemore » are one with a maximum stress intensity of 4300 psi and an axial travel of 0.094 inches.« less
