2 -Current R&D goals and program Main developments • Until recently, we were focused on development of the Fitting, optimizing the geometry and the properties of the different surfaces. • We performed test in order to validate the different designs, focusing on the minimal torque needed to achieve leak tightness. • The last few months we have also worked on the "commissioning" of the fittings for routine use by other labs, for the cooling loop tests (stainless steel) and for the next stave prototypes (Ti). • This involved studying the usable torque range, in order to deduce a recommended torque and the tooling. 6
3 –Fittings R&D Base line design • Test @room temperature • 21 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested - OK • 6 MaleTA6V /1 female Stainless steel tested – OK • 2 tests to find ultimate torque : 8 N.m • Many more combinations tested in variations of the design • Test @cold • 4 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested - OK • 1 MaleTA6V /1 female Stainless steel tested - OK • Tightness optimisation • Define the optimal parameters (friction on the surfaces and the threads • Tooling needed to control the torque 7

3 –Fittings R&D – next steps Next steps The base line solution for PP1 is defined • Increase the number of tested combinations with the base line design • Keep on performing cold tests • Thermal cycling (100 cycles) • Simple tests with liquid CO2 (bottle) • Determine the limits of use for pressure • Study the tooling needed to control the torque • Study the integration aspects Optimized design will be studied • OD reduced to 8mm (maybe 7 mm) • Reduction of the amount of material 11
3 –Stainless steel cooling loops Cooling loop production and tests • Goal • Cooling loop made of stainless steel will be tests @ Nikhef • Fitting tests • Design developed for Ti -> need to be check for stainless steel • Production • Pipes from Nikhef • Fitting and bushings made @LAPP • Brazing made by Bodycote -> new surface treatment made of graphite • Production samples made of same components and brazed at the same time as the cooling lines tested @LAPP (QA procedure) • Should be delivered on Week 46 12
3 –Stainless steel cooling loops Stainless steel fitting • Test @room temperature • 13 combinations 1 MaleTA6V /1 femaleTA6V tested - OK • 2 tests to find ultimate torque : 8 N.m ->no leak • Dismounting/mounting torque 4 N.m –No leak • Dismounting/mounting torque 2 N.m –leak flow few 10-7 • Kept under 20 Bar He 2 hours : leak flow -> few 10-9 to few 10-8 • Kept under 20 Bar He 17 hours : leak flow -> same evolution • (He diffusion around the leak detector ?) • 20 mounting/dismounting : OK • Test @cold • To be done 13
4 –EB welding and brazing • Status • 30 samples brazed and 30 EB welded, changing the material and the cleaning • Finished • Brazed an EB samples were tested @RT ->OK • Cold tests on part of the brazed samples ->OK • In progress • Finish the cold tests (mostly finished, OK) • Perform thermal cycling • Metallographic analysis to be performed @CERN
