• Pressure Test of the helium process volume has be checked with a pressure 1.4 times<br />

higher than the design pressure.<br />

• Quench Heater Test – some of the SIS100 (6) quadrupoles are equipped with a quench<br />

heaters; the quench heaters have to be powered and the proper current and voltage<br />

curves have to be achieved.<br />

• Warm Magnetic Measurement – is described below<br />

• Vacuum Chamber Test – is described in related chapter,<br />

• Geometry Test – is described in related chapter.<br />

Warm Magnetic Measurement<br />

Apart from insulation, electrical and geometric tests, magnetic measurements allow to monitor the<br />

quality of the production. The field quality of iron dominated magnets is mainly determined by the<br />

shape of the iron pole, thus the field quality can only be tested when operating at nominal conditions.<br />

Thus only the geometry of the iron is controlled during the production. Additionally a check<br />

of the coil has to be foreseen before assembling them with the iron yoke.<br />

2.4.A5.3.2 Site Acceptance Tests<br />

The Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), as the final acceptance test, includes results of FAT and all tests<br />

done at GSI and the final evaluation of the test results.<br />

The value, parameters, conditions and compatibility of the SAT tests will be specified during the<br />

Final <strong>Design</strong> Review unless they have been previously specified in the <strong>Technical</strong> Specification.<br />

The SAT includes 3 main stages which shall assure the quality of the magnet. The magnet can be<br />

rejected after each stage of the SAT procedure and sent back to the manufacturer for reparation or<br />

replacement.<br />

Stage 1 - Reception Tests<br />

After delivery each individual superconducting magnet has to pass a reception test at warm. In<br />

principle all reception tests have to confirm the FAT tests. If the magnet does not fulfil the criteria<br />

of the Reception Tests, it will be tested at Operation Temperature and will be sent back to the<br />

manufacturer for reparation.<br />

As an example the following reception test is shown below:<br />

1. Electrical Tests:<br />

• Insulation Tests.<br />

• Resistance and Inductance Tests.<br />

• Continuity and Instrumentation Tests.<br />

2. Vacuum leakage and pressure tests<br />

• Vacuum Test of the cryostat – the results has to show a leak rate better than 10 -8 mbar/s.<br />

• Vacuum Test of the helium process lines – the results has to show a leak rate better than<br />

10 -8 mbar/s.<br />

• Pressure Test of the helium process volume has be checked with a pressure 1.4 times<br />

higher than the design pressure.<br />
