Sumario:This note presents the results of the gas uniformity measurements for the first 4-plane module, complemented by similar studies done on the 8-plane wheel prototype. The gas flow at different straw positions with respect to the inlets was studied using one, two or five inlets to supply active gas at different gas flows. The gas distribution proved to be sufficiently uniform for the 8-plane wheel with the use of two inlets, two outlets and four internally connecting tubes at a gas flow of 27~l/h.
