Proper Handling of Vacuum Components
Industrial vacuum pumps make one of the greatest man’s inventions (invented in 1650), contributing immensely to the modernization of industrial processes in engineering, machinery, and equipment. But what is a vacuum pump? An industrial air pump machine creates a vacuum by sucking air and gas molecules from sealed compartments or containers.

Suggestions For Ensuring The Highest Performance Of Your Vacuum System
Here are a few tips to make sure your vacuum system is performing optimally. A faulty vacuum system could cause a production halt. This system is made up of several components that must all work together to ensure that the system functions properly. Vacuum systems are only as good as you take care of them. It is important to know the factors that affect the performance of your vacuum system.

Which Roughing Pump Is Right For My Application?
A roughing pump is a vacuum pump used to evacuate a vacuum system to achieve a high vacuum or ultra-high vacuum. The term roughing-pump is gotten from the range it operates in, 0.1 Pa. There are two categories of roughing pumps, dry and oil-sealed roughing pumps. There are different types of designs you can pick from the two categories.

Virtual Leaks And Why They Matter
A virtual leak is a gas source that is trapped physically in a chamber. Therefore, the trapped gas pocket’s path that goes into the chamber proper becomes small and low conductance. Virtual leaks often occur due to lack of abiding by the correct vacuum practice or a manufacturing fault in the material. There are various types of virtual leaks. For instance, an internal weld crack. If there is air being released, the gas in the crack will leave the crack...

Which High Vacuum Pump Is Right For My Application?
High Vacuum (HV) pumps offer many benefits to vacuum engineering applications. HV pumps use a pressurized system to remove gaseous substances or air out of a tank. The gaseous molecules are either discharged to another tank or into the ambient air. Here is how to select the right HV pump for your application.

What Is Outgassing And Why Must I Be Concerned With It?
Also known as off-gassing, outgassing is a term that has been dominating many household and industrial conversations. You may have heard it being associated with inefficient satellite equipment, poorly manufactured plastics and other items, poor industrial performance and high maintenance costs during the injection molding process or malfunctioning vacuum electronic equipment.

Wet Versus Dry Pumps
Vacuum pumps are critical for use in industrial, laboratory, and research applications. When making your decision, consider the flow rate, compression, elastic ability, pressure capacity, cost, and maintenance. Wet pumps and dry pumps both have particular features unique to their design. Learn more about them and you'll make the right choice that is perfect for your needs.
