How To Select The Right Turbo Pump
Turbo pump selection is a critical decision for any vacuum process. The choice of the right vacuum pump will impact the performance and cost of your system. Choosing the wrong pump can lead to costly repairs, downtime, or even complete replacement of your entire system. This article discusses how you can make this important decision easier by following these ten steps.

Considerations When Leak Checking Your Vacuum System
A leak is a small opening in a system’s many or single components that permits gas to leave or enter uncontrollably. The pressure differential between the interior and outside of the system, as well as the gas type and hole size, determine the leak rate. Some of the factors that can cause system failure include contamination and outgassing. Leaks can affect the vacuum levels. Leaks in the pipes can stop vacuum systems from attaining the required vacuum level for the...

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.

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.
