Vacuum System What creates the vacuum? The vacuum is created by a small internal vacuum pump. This is a diaphragm type pump that is typically maintenance free. The vacuum system can achieve a minimum of 508mmHg/ 20 inHg of vacuum provided there are no serious leaks in the suction chambers. Is the vacuum adjustable? The vacuum is adjustable from zero to the typical full value of 508mmHg / 20 inHg by a front panel control. The system vacuum is indicated on a gauge. All connected chambers will have the same vacuum. We have a vacuum system in our facility, can it be used? If the system can produce at least 508mmHg / 20inHg of vacuum at an adequate flow rate, the instruments can be ordered with the external vacuum option. This provides a vacuum fitting for the external vacuum so either the internal vacuum pump or the external vacuum can be used.. Instrument controls and operation are the same for either vacuum source. |

Useful Information! Vacuum Conversions….. inches of Mercury to mm of Mercury inHg X 25.4 = mmHg mm of Mercury to inches of Mercury mmHg x 0.039369 = inH inches of Mercury to kilopascal inHg X 3.368388 = kPa mm of Mercury to kilopascal mmHg x 0.133323 = kPa |
