Investigation of the broken beam pipe
Shoji Uno(KEK)
KEKB Review, Feb/10, 2003
• Structure of IP beam pipe
• Searching for leak points
• Element analysis for remaining white
powder
• Possible reasons for He leak
• Summary
Structure of the IP beam pipe in SVD1.4
Inner 10~30µm gold by 10µm gold by 200~230µm gold by To reduce
chemical plating vacuum sputtering chemical plating
Surface SR
To reduce particle background
Beryllium part is cooled
He by Helium gas.
Aluminum part is cooled by water.
Possible sources of He leak to vacuum
He
•crack in Be or Al
•brazing joint between Be-Al •welding joint between Al-Al
0.5mmt
0.5mmt
Search for leak points
• After dismounting the beam pipe from Belle, a leak
check was performed to identify the leak point.
– He leak was confirmed in a normal leak test.
– Bubbles could be seen on the inner gold sputtering surface
of Beryllium, when liquid was supplied.
Not joint parts.
Leak point
~2cm from edge of Beryllium
Cutting point

Picture of the inner cylinder
• A large amount of white powder was found on the surface
of the inner Beryllium cylinder.
• It looks like a pattern of water flow.
• There is white powder on the Al ring, also.
– Large amount at backward ring
– Small amount at forward ring
Direction of helium gas
B
F
Leak points
• Leak position was confirmed from outside
of inner beryllium beam pipe with various
methods.
– There are at least two
separated leak points
on Beryllium surface
( ~1cm distance).
- It matches to position
where was found from
inside.
Leak points
Close up view of a leak point
• Any cracks could not be found near leak points.
– Many tiny dips are seen.
Leak point
Element analysis
• We found two types of powder.
– Color of one powder is clearly white.
– Another one is slightly yellow.
• Element analysis is in progress, separately.
– Several methods are used for identify elements.
– Preliminary results are available, now.
Preliminary results of element analysis
• White
– Main components are Be and O.
– Probably, it is BeO.
• Yellow
– Main components are Al and O.
– Probably, it is Al2O3.
• Common
– C was also found.
– Small amounts of P, K, Ca, S, Cl, Si, Mn, Fe, and Cu were found.
• Si, Mn, Fe and Cu are components of Aluminum alloy.
– S and Cl are dangerous elements for corrosion of Beryllium.
– But, expert for element analysis says amounts of S and Cl are small
and are consistent with normal metal. No conclusion, now.
Check for inside of Al part
• We cut L angle connector in Helium line to
see inside of Aluminum part.
– One inlet connector was checked.
– Inside surface shows white color without a
metric luster.
• Nothing happens on the surface of SUS
connectors.
Measurement of thickness
• Thickness of the inner Beryllium cylinder
was measured.
– We hope thickness may tell us something.
– No significant difference was found.
• Center : tend to be thick.
• Both edges : tend to be thin.
• No clear phi dependence.
• After cutting of Beryllium cylinder, more
precise measurement will be done.
Photo before assembling
• Leaked Beryllium beam pipe is recycled from the
first beam pipe, which had been used in May-July
of 1999.
• Before assembling, a photo was taken.
– White powder can be seen clearly on the Beryllium
surface.
– Amount of powder is much
smaller.
– Pattern is similar.
• At that time, we did not
investigate the white
powder. After that,
we forgot this fact.
Corrosion
• Corrosion might occur on both of Al and Be.
– At present, we do not know why corrosion occur.
– Which components affect corrosion? Water, Cl or S? More careful
investigation is necessary.
• Analysis of circulation gas is in progress.
• Before the accident, we had not paid attention to corrosion.
– Due point had not been monitored in circulated Helium gas.
– We have never analyzed inpurity of the circulation gas.
• Present methods to avoid corrosion
– Due point is monitored(~-20•Ž ).
– Additional filter will be added.
– More frequently, fresh Helium gas is supplied to avoid
accumulation of unlike gas. Most effective.
Possible reasons of Helium leak
•Corrosion most suspicious reason
•Heat stress
•Two accidents
•Recycled Be pipe from BP#1
Large stress at machining process (?)
•Very high temperature (~300 °C)
by gold-spattering and welding with Aluminum section
•Defect of material (?)
•Dark spots which were found on Gold-plating
Temperature distribution with maximum allowed heat load
(Red:inner Be Blue:outer Be Black:He)
100 W with He cooling
dTin=+23.0 Kº
dTout=+4.1 Kº
(He flow : 2g/s)
•If He flow is 1 g/s,
dTin=+25 Kº, dTout=+5 Kº
•Present situation: 1g/s,dTout=+3 Kº
⇒ 60W?
Maximum allowed temperature from stress analysis by IHI
•Sm ≡ Min (1/4×Tensile strength, 1/1.5×Proof stress)
Proof stress = stress at 0.2% yield point
•Stress should be smaller than 3×Sm for thermal case
•No worry(?) for heat cycle if stress 8733?j77kj777jj00jk08??ks?778ttu>310?jjj666>6333ii0it0iiii30iiiiip0>>s73700'3hh>hthh000?1>8>>>87770iii?311ii3i0#0i373t333j1t8700388ti0000u377u3>?f0fiffjfjfjf0011ji00j0j7thf0jjjj8iu7j3>tjj878jtj003i0ti>>7j3jj00ii0j0k0hjjijjjh7hh3jjjjjjh'j0000jij0hiiigikigggg004iiiigggggi8igggs8gj>g?uu0800ttggg730igff7817gsgt73>??8888????ue83ekje7jeji>>>>?1u733j0u73000011j33jj8jk88j88?>>>80iiii?ss?u7u8?8i7s7>s11337ue0ie0ie37e1ue13e1ge1j0;0000kjk10e?>>uu8e1311371330ukse1?iiiii8t888888i8s>>>uuuuuuu333030000j0j017>66668888>0673f??7t>>>i773?777ji07j117161jjj;jii11111k8tiiiiit113708?8jj377jj8st1i7tkkkkkggggg3kiiigggiiiiiiigjjjjjggijitggjgj8iiiii73;333u30>081jjjsh>8u888j>>1h37uuhhh1jh366666j8jjsjjjp0iiiiiu?t?7sgiiiiiit#;ggg877777001180?0t70>>7377jj3j20kj1uu7u0j>u08didi0idiihgdiikdi8d7k8>0i?888ij0jjkj>17j00ju7j1j1iiiiiij17jjgggggggggjkj8>jgt0jtgg8>gug3?3179300000008?>0>7>673333338088808188jk3j3>;jjk888iiiiiij7787??>>8>>fjfjfkfjfjfjfjfjfjfjfj07?uuu00800000000>j80uuuuiikii08033u0iiijj7??t???????j3iiiiuh;0iijk3j7jjjjjjjijjjiuij44jkj833iiiiiiiii6888iii>>>>iiiiiu?fiiiikffffgfgf7f1?777g71111gg0000?gggggggggjsggg>77711333gg4000iiiitii833373300888>8kjjjjj000078/8>>7777ii'11187880888808#;>kk800>u>>7777703t888333777jjji03313>iikkkijiiiii7ikfghjijiii1hhiihjkjjjjjjj0j>iiii0!07780jjj7jgt7ggtei>eieiei>>u7777.1'114t888811q>>t>>iii7777ii!111;0k0k0sii9i007j?ii78888888837>j01j3717t>>kkkk788jj7338u8888881j11!7tt>>h9j800tti60k7kkk7jjk3k7e7ke3he7he7tjjjj08jj837773jhhhhjikjoi10ggttggu8>>>00?>8?0hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh77633ti0i0#080000kkk>?1s0tu111t182177itt8jiiiijj6ikigggggggggggggggijjjj103j1j331388j8hhjjjgjgggttgug3333g3gggggiiijjiijiiiikikhhjhj66611d e

Two temperature accidents
Dark spots on the Au-plating surface of forward Aluminum
section were found after the Helium leak accident.
Large dynamic pressure?
Summary
• Leak points are Beryllium itself, not joint parts.
• Corrosion is most suspicious reason of He leak.
– In order to avoid corrosion, several actions were
done.
• Further investigation is in progress.
– We will cut the Beryllium cylinder, soon.
– Then, another element analysis will be performed
and we can see detail of surface around leak points
with microscopes.
• New beam pipe with SVD 2.0 will be installed
in this summer. T.Abe’s talk.
History of the beryllium beam pipe at KEKB
We constructed three Beam Pipes: BP#1, BP#2 and BP#3.
Basic mechanical structure is same in three pipes.
•BP#1 had been used with SVD1.0 from May 1999 to July, 1999.
30 µm gold plating both for fwd/bwd Al sections.
•BP#2 had been used with SVD1.2 from Oct. 1999 to July, 2000.
30 µm gold plating both for fwd/bwd Al sections.
20 µm gold foil outside the Outer Be cylinder
•BP#3 had been used with SVD1.4 from Oct. 2000 to Nov. 2002.
200/30 µm gold plating for fwd/bwd Al sections.
10 µm gold sputtered inside the Inner Be cylinder
Hydrogen pressure in vacuum pipe increased on Oct. 31. 2002
Many black spots were found in fwd Al section on Nov. 3. 2002
He leak to vacuum happened on Nov. 8. 2002
Broken beam pipe (BP#3) in SVD1.4 was replaced
• with old one (BP#2) inside SVD1.2 in B4 clean room
• with new one (BP#4) for SVD2
