Dear All

Dear all,

I’m having a vacuum issue with my 20-year-old Oxford 800 MHz pump magnet.
Recently, the fridge pressure suddenly increased from 15 to 21 and stayed
21 for more than 1 year, although it’s still within the specified range
(9.2–25). I also replaced the pump without any change of the pressure.

I’ve tried to locate the source of the vacuum leak but haven’t had any
luck so far.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or can offer suggestions on how to
diagnose or address this type of vacuum leak?

Alternatively, could anyone recommend a qualified engineer or service provider
familiar with Oxford pumped magnet systems who could take a look at it?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Best,
Tianzhi
