This section provides a technical introduction of the scope, assembly to be manufactured, quality controls, and shipping plan.

3.1 Introduction

FFDG engineering drawing packages listed in Table 1 shall be used for the complete parts list, including the hardware needed for assembling.

For technical introduction, Table 3 lists ONLY the main subassemblies of top assembly F10243028.

Item No. Name of sub-assembly Description

F10196098 Vacuum Vessel Assembly

This assembly serves to house all the CM components which operate in a moderate to high vacuum service. Note: the Manufacturer is required to rework of a pre-existing vacuum vessel as detailed in ED0043279.

F10143029 Strongback Assembly This assembly serves as the structure backbone of the coldmass.

F10117006 G11 Support Post

An assembly of a low thermal conductivity G11 fiberglass pipe and three stages of shrink-fit aluminum and stainless-steel discs and rings.

Assembly and test procedure in ED0009719.

Table 3: List and descriptions of main sub-assemblies.

The vacuum vessel assembly consists of a cylindrical shell, anchored to the floor with bottom supports, and equipped with lugs for lifting purposes. The vessel shell is closed at the upstream and downstream side with endcaps, which host viewports and access ports. The vessel has got ports for input RF power couplers, access, instrumentation, vacuum pump-out, and safety relief. The main components of SSR2 vacuum vessel are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2.

The vacuum vessel provides a structural support for the strongback, which can slide in the vessel by means of a system of rails and wheels. The strongback is locked to the vessel with fourteen studs accessible from the outside. Twelve G11 support posts are bolted to the strongback, as shown in Figure 3.

3.6 Leak check

Helium leak testing at room temperature shall be used to verify that assembly, subassemblies, and components (when specified on drawings) are suitably leak-tight at all stages of fabrication and assembly.

The allowable leakage rates are indicated on drawings (when applicable). Leak testing should be performed with a calibrated Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector (HMSLD), according to ISO 20485 or equivalent standard.

No painting (external or internal) is allowed before leak check is completed and approved by FFDG representatives.

The completed Vacuum Vessel Assembly shall be made available to FFDG for inspection before, during, or after final leak checking (prior to painting). Advanced notice shall be provided to FFDG for travel arrangements.

3.7 Painting and Coating

After the assembly has passed final leak checking, the carbon steel surfaces and stainless-steel nozzles of the vacuum vessel final machining and top hat shall be painted with a rust preventative primer. The exterior shall be painted with a rust preventative primer, color RAL3026 Luminous bright red (or equivalent) and jet black (RAL 9005) as detailed in the CAD model. Paint sample of RAL3026 Luminous bright red need to be sent to Fermilab for paint color approval. The interior shall be painted with low vapor pressure vacuum compatible rust preventative epoxy paint, color white (RAL 9003). Both interior and exterior paints must be lead free, have good adhesion to the metal surfaces, and must be solvent resistant. Once completed, the vessel shall always remain dry. Before starting any painting process, a

Painting Readiness Review shall be conducted as a hold point listed in Table 2.

All sealing surfaces and threaded areas shall be masked as also specified on drawings prior to painting.

In addition, the next figures show inside of tubes, faces, holes, and threads that shall be masked off during the painting.
