3. GENERAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 Dimensional conformance

The Fermilab drawings shall be used by the Manufacturer for configuration control and dimensional conformance. Dimensional variances and overall envelope configuration shall be maintained within specified tolerances.

In the drawings, the metric system of units is used as the primary dimensions. Stated in square brackets, are the dimensions in US system of units. The drawings supplied as part of this request for proposal (RFP) are to be considered near-final release. Minor modifications will be done by Fermilab during the RFP open period, and a final set of drawings will be given to the Manufacturer at the time a contract is awarded.

3.2 Materials

The material used in the fabrication shall conform to the specifications in associated drawings. It is the responsibility of the Manufacturer to ensure that ALL materials used are traced to the stated specification.

Due to the reliability issues associated with metal sulfur content differences across the joint when using orbital welding, it is required that the 316L stainless steel used on F10030193, F10060191, F10030689 and F10061934 should have Sulfur < 0.005%.

3.3 Bellows parameters and performance

The dimensions of the bellows specified in the drawings are for reference only. The Manufacturer shall ensure the parameters for the bellows are met as those specified in the drawings. The

Manufacturer shall provide the bellows data sheet according to the design calculations per Standard of the Expansion Joint Manufacturers Association (EJMA) 9th Edition. Number of convolutions are to be set by the Manufacturer in accordance with ASME or EJMA standard.

In order to meet these parameters, a bellows structure with two-layer or “Ω-profile” corrugation is acceptable. For the two-layer structure, two venting holes are required on the outer layer for preventing virtual leak, and they should be made at the last stage shortly before welding.

Bellows shall be hydroformed with an even pitch and height and have no cracks, holes, pits, dents, or other visible flaws that would render the bellows useless for cryogenic vacuum use. Circumferential welds joining one convolution to another are not permitted. All designs and values are subject to

Fermilab’s approval.

3.4 Vacuum integration and cleanliness

This Interconnect Kit will be used in a moderate to high vacuum service. Proper cleaning eliminates contamination to the vacuum space or leaks in the welds. Before any welding, all parts must be degreased with soap and water, followed by a thorough deionized water rinse. Parts shall be protected at all stages of fabrication for the cleanliness.

3.5 Welding

All welding process, inspection and testing of the cryogenic pipes must be in accordance to the ASME

B31.3 Process Piping code for Normal Fluid Service. All welders shall be qualified to the ASME BPVC section IX. The welding filler material for stainless-to-stainless joint shall be ER308.

Weldment must be free of dirt, grease, oil and chips. The Manufacturer shall ensure that no entrapped gases, fluxes, pits, cracks, or like imperfections are left in the heat affected zones. All fillet welds shall be smooth for cosmetic appearance. Post cleaning of welds with a wire brush only is acceptable (prior to final leak checking) and required to leave the surface in a bright finish condition with no trace of solvent residue.

3.6 Helium leak checking

All welds of the cryogenic piping shall be leak checked with a calibrated Helium Mass Spectrometer

Leak Detector (HMSLD). The leak test shall be carried out with the volume of the assembly unit being evacuated by a high vacuum pump and with a helium spray outside. No leak shall be detectable on the most sensitive scale of a helium leak detector with a minimum sensitivity of 1x10-9 mbarliter/sec. The leak detector calibration shall be checked daily with a calibrated leak before the measurements.

The Manufacturer shall provide flanges or end caps for leak checking. Bellows MUST BE properly restrained with the two connecting rods during leak checking to ensure no damage occurs to the bellows.

3.7 Liquid nitrogen cold shock

After the preliminary leak check, the cryogenic piping bellows weldments shall be cold shocked and followed by sequential helium leak checking. The cold shocking shall be carried out with the weldments immersed in a liquid nitrogen bath until the temperature of the part reaches liquid nitrogen temperature. Then take the parts out, warm to room temperature, and repeat for two more cold shocks. Afterwards, perform helium leak checking.

3.8 Pressure testing

The cryogenic piping bellows insertion shall be pressure tested consistent with a 20 bar MAWP.

Bellows MUST BE properly restrained during the pressure test to ensure no damage occurs to the bellows. The Manufacturer shall provide flanges or end caps for pressure testing.
