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...

Considerations When Using Grease in a Vacuum System

There are many considerations when utilizing grease within a vacuum system. Often grease is used for the lubrication of o-rings, mechanical components, and in some cases to prevent corrosion. However, it is highly recommended to consider whether a grease is even necessary for each application. The presence of grease within a vacuum system can increase the gas load on the system and can be a source of collecting foreign debris.
