Module 02 of 08

Vacuum Generation and Pressure Measurement

Vacuum pump selection, pumping sequences, conductance, pressure sensor ranges and reliable interpretation of vacuum readings.

Vacuum gauges, standard leaks and measurement hardware used in VacMentor metrology training
Scope

Topics covered

  • Rotary vane, dry, Roots and high-vacuum pumps
  • Pumping speed and conductance
  • Safe start-up and shutdown sequences
  • Mechanical, thermal and ionization gauges
  • Gauge range, gas dependence and installation effects
Competence

Expected outcomes

  • Match pumps and gauges to the operating range
  • Recognize conductance and contamination limitations
  • Build a safe and repeatable pumping sequence

Practical emphasis

This module is configured around the customer's available equipment and representative test objects. Exercises, terminology and reporting depth are adjusted to participant roles while the technical sequence remains consistent.
