About
UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to The Science & Technology Facilities Council for the manufacture, supply, and testing of component parts necessary to produce a single replica ISIS dipole vacuum vessel from alumina ceramic and glaze, based on the current design.
The components are intended for in-house assembly by STFC to support the ISIS Synchrotron, which has used alumina vacuum vessels reliably for 30 years and now requires spare vessels and re-establishment of manufacturing knowledge for future synchrotrons.
The contract value is £250,000.
