Introduction and Scope Introduction The pulsed septum magnet for the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade (APS-U) Project will steer an injected 6 GeV electron beam into the stored beam of the Storage Ring (SR). The magnet creates a high magnetic field in the injection chamber for a short period of time while maintaining negligible field in the adjacent stored beam chamber. The pulsed septum magnet merges the injected beam into the stored beam with minimal impact to the trajectory of the stored beam.

Production Requirements The septum chamber weldment is an ultra-high vacuum component which requires careful adherence to all requirements for fabrication.

Material Procurement The Supplier shall be responsible for providing all materials required for fabrication of the components in accordance with the technical documents. The Supplier will submit all material certs prior to initiation of fabrication for approval by the Company. The contractor must include the part numbers of the component on all material certifications.

Fabrication Restrictions The septum chamber weldment is UHV. The Supplier is strictly prohibited from using silicone, sulfur, phosphorous, hydrocarbons, halogen, animal fats, or high molecular weight organic compounds (e.g., Naphtha, Phenol, etc.) based cutting fluids, oils, grease, and abrasives. The Supplier shall use water soluble sulfur/silicone free fluids such as Trim Sol or equivalent.

The Supplier is prohibited from using machining operations that can cause contaminants to be embedded into the surface (e.g., rolling or sandblasting). Grinding with resin bonded wheels, rouge, emery cloth, crocus cloth, or similar abrasives are prohibited. THE SUPPLIER MUST REVIEW ALL GRINDING PROCEDURES WITH THE COMPANY PRIOR TO MANUFACTURING. The Supplier must seek approval from the Company personnel for glass bead blasting, if needed.

The contractor must follow all the original flange manufacturer guidelines in the production of Conflat (CF) flanges to comply with the leak test requirements. The contractor must keep the knife edge free of damage that could cause the seal to leak. ANY NICKS OR SCRATCHES TO A KNIFE-EDGE OR SEALING SURFACE WILL RENDER THE PART UNACCEPTABLE. The flange/assembly will not be accepted if the knife edge does not meet ASTM E-2734.

Vacuum Component Certification Vacuum component test reports shall contain the signature and title of the authorized personnel who perform the tests and measurements as well as the make, model, serial number, leak check and calibration date of the equipment used. The data submitted shall also be transmitted in electronic PDF format to the APS-U technical representative. Any non-conformances during the manufacturing process must be reported using an APS-U Supplier Disposition Request form within 72 hours of discovery.

Each part should have no detectable leaks at a detection level of 2 x 10-10 torr-liter/second after.

Project Management Support Project Kick-Off Meeting Simplify A Project Kick-off Meeting shall be held virtually to meet the principal participants and ensure the scope and expectations of the purchase order are understood, as well as answer any questions the Supplier may have.

Progress Report Weekly progress reports (in bullet form via email) shall be provided to the Company’s Tech Rep. This report shall include the Supplier’s manufacturing progress, potential problems, resources, technical issues, contractual issues, manufacturing issues, inspection results and any value engineering.

Point of Contact The Supplier shall designate an official single Point of Contact (POC) to work with the Company’s Tech Rep and Procurement Specialist (further called “Proc Spec”).
