Detection, Quantification and Mitigation of Pump Oil Vapors in Vacuum Systems
Systems evacuated with oil-based pumps may be affected by backstreaming of pump oil vapors into the fore- line, vacuum chamber, and upstream throughout the system. The act of pump oil vapors moving against the flow of molecules traveling from the vacuum chamber to the pump(s) is referred to as the back- streaming.

Metal Seals vs Elastomers
Elastomer seals are typically used in gas loads because they don’t require any compression to seal. However, the sealing performance depends on the pressure it takes to create a leak-tight seal. Metal seals are made by compressing the metal material to achieve a leak-tight seal at atmospheric pressures or less.
