Venturi tube application in high power test of the SRF module

In the superconducting RF module, the dissipation power of the niobium cavity is an important parameter. In the Superconducting radio frequency (SRF) module's acceptance test at Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF), the Venturi tube is used to measure the quality factor of SRF cavity at 4.2 K. During the test, the venturi tube is be calibrated by increasing heat load with internal heater. In this paper, the horizontal test principle and venturi effect are briefly introduced. The authors find out a correct way to calibrate the venturi tubes, the calibration results are presented here. From the calibration results, one can deduce the static loss of each module, the source of static loss is also analyzed.
