This product includes a port for purging gasses in optional specification (Fig. 2-1 (2)). Though
not necessary for normal evacuation, use it to inject purging gas to increase maximum allowable
flow rate. A purge gas flow rate 30 mL/min is appropriate.
Be sure not to use the non-chemical type pumps to exhaust of corrosive gasses such as
chlorine type or fluorine type.
Fig. 7-1 is an example of gas purge piping diagram. Use a filter of 5 μm or less in element size.
Use flow control valve to control the flow rate.
