Testing Status L4C1

Problem with Glue System

Joerg Hehner TRD Collaboration Meeting Bucharest 26.09.2005

- Used Araldit AW 106/AW116 with Hardener HV953U

- Sticky surface after curing time

- Problem in Producing Hardener HV 953 U since 2004

Decision

Joerg Hehner TRD Collaboration Meeting Bucharest 26.09.2005

- Stop the TRD Production

Mechanical and electrical Properties

Chemical Composition was changed

- Get a Charge of an modifcated Hardener to test the

mech. and electr. Properties

Test mechanical Properties

Joerg Hehner TRD Collaboration Meeting Bucharest 26.09.2005

- cured Glue min. 24h under different

climatic Conditions

Shore Hardness is 60

- Observed Different Surface Quality, it depends on the

Huminidity and the retention time in Air

CONCLUSION

Joerg Hehner TRD Collaboration Meeting Bucharest 26.09.2005

- Orderd and distributed Hardener

to finished the TRD Production

- Additional Ageing Test

SUMMARY

Joerg Hehner TRD Collaboration Meeting Bucharest 26.09.2005

- Delay of 6 weeks in the Production Scale

- 4 L5C1and 4 L4C1 finished to shipped to HD End of October

- Production Mode to build 2 TRD Chambers / 7 Working Days
