- Notes and Changes:
- • Removed distinction between initial and advanced LIGO for approval
• Made an explicit notation in the materials list if the use of a material is restricted (or not)
• Moved a number of materials from the provisionally approved to the approved list, although in some cases with restrictions (e.g. carbon steel, Sm-Co, Nd-Fe-B, Vac-Seal, copper, Tin-Lead solder, etc.) and removed the provisional list from the document
• Added a number of materials to the approved list, although in some cases with restrictions (e.g. adhesives, aluminum bronze, etc.)
• Added a few materials to the explicitly excluded list, e.g. aluminum alloy 7000 series, brass (aka manganese bronze), free-machining grades of stainless steel (303, 303S, 303Se) except as small fasteners, etc.
• Added a number of references
• Added a section on general restrictions on materials (e.g. no castings, material certifications are always required, only the grades and sources called out for the polymers are permitted, etc.)
• Most outgassing rate values remain blank in the materials list (pending) Need a better description of the approved cable assemblies
