second leg replaced |
|

we have replaced the second leg which was leaking. It could be that the legs are simply to old and the rubber got brittle. As far as i know the table has never been operated floating as it had the suspended reference cavity on it since the beginning. We operate at around 85 PSI, maximum operational pressure is specified at 100PSI so that should be OK. The second leg started leaking after one day of floating operation. We disassembled one today to have a close look but we can't really tell where the leak is. We will check with some pressure to see what's broken within the next few days. Let's see what the other legs do in the near future. We still have plenty of "spares", as Aidan bought two new sets (taller ones) for the old tables in the TCS lab. So we have 8 short ones which are currently not used (and seem to be newer than the ones we currently have). And they still work as passive legs. |
