Design of strain measuring system in ultra-high vacuum environment for JT-60SA
Strain gauges are installed inside the JT-60SA vacuum vessel to monitor mechanical load applied on the pedestals for supporting the error field correction coils. The strain gauges and cables for JT-60SA need to have (1) resistance to 200°C baking of the vacuum vessel, (2) no organic adhesive material to reduce outgassing under ultra-high vacuum environment, (3) feasibility of long-duration continuous use, because of no access to the measuring target once assembly of in-vessel components has finished. To meet these requirements, the welded-type strain gauge and its cables without organic adhesive have been developed. The strain gauge is featured by attaching it to the objective component with welding. The cables for the welded-type strain gauge are composed of mineral-insulated (MI) cable with MgO and polyether ether ketone (PEEK) cables. MI cable can withstand the 200 °C baking of the vacuum vessel. PEEK cable is used for connecting to vacuum feed through. Design of the measuring system has finished successfully.
