bulletAD is responsible for mechanical issues (e.g. high pressure lines, solenoid, ...)
bulletalready in the November meeting AD gave some input:
bullet http://proj-hiptarget.web.cern.ch/proj-hiptarget/default/videoconf/index.htm, see lowest link
bulletAD is concerned about pressure vessels/LN2 circuit (from the mechanical point of view; e.g. not ODH)
bulletquench of solenoid, see also below for calculations
bullettransport of heavy loads, if special tools are used, they need to be certified by CERN
bulletreferences/documents:
bulletall designs/constructions must comply with CERN D2 (pressure) and D1 (lifting). Regarding pressure vessel codes either CODAP2000 (European) or ASME (US) can be used. The engineering files must be supplied to SC for approval prior to the fabrication phase. documents can be found at SC website: http://safety-commission.web.cern.ch/safety-commission/TIS-site/index.html e.g. link "documents" or ->GS -> Mechanical safety site and FAQ site (Frequently encountered topics)
bulletAD remarked burst disk in layout of the solenoid. Such a device is basically needed for all high pressure circuits/vessels. Whenever this must be avoided for some reasons a thorough case by case assessment must be carried out and compensatory measures taken.
bulletSC/GS needs the following documents as input
bulletACAD drawings of solenoid, mercury circuit etc.
bulletmust comply with ASME (as US is involved) \
bulletcalculations:
bulletof all shells/vessels
bulletwelds
bullethigh pressure lines
bulletinspection procedures need to be defined
bullethardcopies required for documents, not electronically
bulletstandard equipement (e.g. dewar, LN2 pipes) need CE certificate
bulletvessels and similar equipement is tested again after transport (or: tested e.g. in US and transport is secured to no damage by accelerometers etc.)
bulletQ: pressure in LN2 circuit
bulletwhat happens in case of fire:
bulletwhat temperatures are expected (action: FA)
bulletcan the outer confinement keep tight?
bulletdoes any confinement stand the pressure caused by heating? or can over pressure occur at all? Large volumes?
bulletalso outer confinement needs to fulfill ASME (= The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) http://www.asme.org/
