Hi all,
My primary vacuum is pretty bad. I have a gas leak in one of the spectrometers (P10, argon-methane). I know that, because, if I close the gas supply for all 4 spectros I get a vacuum that is one order of magnitude better. I checked for back-bubbling in the little glas tubes, but there is none.
To me, so far I see only 2 possibilities: Counter window or maybe gas tube leak.
Question: How can I find out which spectro is the bad guy? Is there a way to isolate on spectro from the others? Or: Can I play with the gas pressure adjustment of the counters (ours are just next to the 4 bubbling glas tubes) to close the gas for an individual counter?
Any ideas?
Thanks
Philipp
