Hello All:
Currently we are going through a renovation in the Department. Several
magnets in the labs have to be blocked off from the renovation workers. We
are planning to cover up our 200, 300 and 600 MHz magnets with 3/4" plywood
planks all around. The plywood pieces would be put together using 2X4s and
stainless steel/alumunium screws. They also have to be covered up with
plastic sheets around the plywood covers to ensure that dust doesn't get in.
1. My concern is that if we seal off the plywood boxes will we harm the
magnets in anyway by creating a micro-environment of low/high pressure area?
2. We will obviously have the plywood on the top and front detachable so
that we can do the cryogen fills.
3. Workers will be working there for couple of weeks, can we keep the
magnets "sealed" with plastic and plywood for so long?
Any help/suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
