Fluorinated elastomers, PTFE, FPE,
stainless steel, nickel
Remove the blank-offs blocking intake and exhaust holes; these
components prevents foreign bodies from entering the pump during
transport and storage.
It is dangerous to leave the exhaust blank-off on a pump ready to be
started.
For safety reasons, any accessories connected to inlet and exhaust must be
made of materials compatible with pumped gases and leak tested after the
reassembly is completed.
It is recommended to be able to isolate the pump from the vacuum and
exhaust line, particularly if you pump on corrosive gases (inlet and exhaust
isolation valves, purges,…).
Several fitting accessories are available in the manufacturer’s catalog.
Make sure the direction of rotation has been checked (see
B 51
).
When the pump is connected to the pumping line, it is essential to perform
a leak test on the whole line to check the connection (pump, pipe,…)
Incorporate flexible stainless steel flanged bellows in the vacuum and
exhaust pump line to reduce the transmission of vibration.
The vacuum pump is also a compressor: incorrect use may be dangerous.
Study the user manual before starting the pump.
