Steel Purchase
• Steel Advanced Procurement Plan and Specifications• Approved by MINOS, consultants, PPD, and Procurement on
11/11/98
• Steel bid package went public 12/1• Sent to 4 prequalified vendors
– Ryerson (IL, MN)– USX (IN)– Bethlehem (IN)– Olympic (MN, IL)
• Open for bid for one month • Purchase of 4 planes and options for up to 3 SM and Near
• Opening of bids expected the first week of 1/99• Selection and Best-and-Final to follow

Steel Purchase (Cont.)
• Machining bid package expected to be released in a week.• Prequalified vendors
– Ryerson (MN, IL)
– Olympic (MN, IL)
– SVF (IL)
– Napco (IL)
• Same steps as in the steel procurement
• Final mill and fabricator will be selected based on lowest total cost (including transportation costs).

Magnetics Test Program
• 150 turn coil wrapped around the 1PP and powered on 10/29
• Then• A sense coil read out by an integrator monitored the flux
• Now • 4 additional mini-sense coils• Hall probe measurements of fields in air

(Cont.)
• Near-term goals
– Obtain an absolute calibration of average field in a coil.
– Estimate the effective gap span in the spates
• Future: Try to measure the inductance using an oscillator and mini-sense coil

Fields in In Gaps, in Holes, and Beyond the Steel
• Used Hall probe to look at fields in the largest crack (~1/8”).
• The field was about 800Gauss
• Used Hall probe to look at fields in a 3/8” hole drilled through both plates.
• The field was about 60Gauss
• Used Hall Probe to look at fringe fields.• Values ranged from

Measured Fields
Some of the flux seems to be returning via the steel support beams.

Thermal Data
• After 60min at 100A the core temperature (without cooling) was 170C in the core of the coil
• Our thermal models will be tested for accuracy in this extreme case
