SQB1-SDB1 minilink leak test / DET tower venting

This morning we have carried out the leak test of the recently added SDB1-SQB1 minilink.

A large leak ( >E-4 mbar.l/s ) is present in one of the parts of the SDB1-DQB1 minilink = the top access flange DN200. The defect is likely due to a misplaced gasket.

Other joints have been found to be leak-tight (LR<1E-8 mbar.l/s)

  • SQB1 viewport joint
  • DN250CF flanges,  DN100CF flanges, special metal sealed flange
  • Tower bottom flange

*** We started venting the DET tower in order to perform the repair intevention as soon as possible, planned for the late evening (11PM to 1AM) ***
