The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project will be the next major high energy physics facility at CERN. Superconducting magnets operating at a magnetic field of 8.4 Tesla in a superfluid helium bath at 1.8 K are required to guide the high energy beams of protons on their trajectory. As part of the magn...

description The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project will be the next major high energy physics facility at CERN. Superconducting magnets operating at a magnetic field of 8.4 Tesla in a superfluid helium bath at 1.8 K are required to guide the high energy beams of protons on their trajectory. As part of the magnet qualification tests, magnetic measurements are made using a special device where demountable seals are required. The seals must be leak tight to vacuum and must be able to resist for short periods to pressure bursts up to 20 bar during resistive transitions (quench). Two types of seals have been qualified. Maximum leak rates were in the range 6.10-10 to 1.10-9 mbar.l.s-1, in the worst conditions (20 bar, superfluid helium at 1.8 K).
