3. Beam line cutting (SIT)4. Dummy PIM installation5. PIM reconditioning (VSC) // Lip measurements* (ICIT) // Endoscopy (ICIT) 6. PIM positioning, tack welding and PIM bellows protection (VSC)7. PIM welding (SIT)
8. Beam line leak test (VSC)9. Ball test (VSC)
VSC consolidation – Beam Vacuum (1)
Work is done in collaboration with the Special Intervention Team (SIT)
Simplified PIM consolidation sequence:
Cédric Garion TE/VSC Beam Vacuum Quality Control 3rd LHC Splice Review, 12-14 Nov ‘12
* Required for PIMs at magnet exchanges and for damaged bellows In case of buckled RF fingers, the same PIM body is re-installed at the same location (PIM WG, 2/12/08)

2. Protect against overpressure:
Install rupture disks and non-return valves
Install protective shells to limit the bellows deformations
3. Protect against electrical arcs and melted particle projection Install protective shells (PEI)

4. Protect against pressure wave, cold gas and debris propagation (no impact on SMACC): Reduce sector valve closure time
Install fast shutter valves close to the RF cavities
VSC consolidation – Beam Vacuum (3)
VSC Support – Beam Vacuum (1)
Check integrity of bellows: Beam screen, PIM and X line bellows Visual inspections of bellows after opening and before closure Installation of temporary protections in place throughout the period during
which the interconnections are open: rubber strip + stainless steel foil
Additional protections (1 protective half shell per line) will be installed during (at least) the cutting activities.

1. Interconnection opening (MSC): W bellows, thermal and radiative shields2. Rubber protections on V1, V2 and X bellows (MSC)3. M bellows shell dismounting (MSC)
4. Interconnection inspection and thermometers disassembly (IC QA)
5. Rubber protection removal and bellows inspection (ICIT)6. Rubber and stainless steel foil protection installation (ICIT)
7. Installation of additional dedicated protective half shell before the cutting train and removal after ~1 week (recycling) (ICIT)
8. Beam vacuum line leak tests (VSC)
9. Temporary protection removal and bellows inspection (ICIT)10. Installation of permanent protective half shells (ICIT)
11. Interconnection inspection and thermometers assembly (IC QA)
12. M bellows shell assembly (MSC)13. Interconnection closure (MSC)
