WARNING: DANGEROUS GASES
Risk of damage to equipment. In the interstage and booster versions of the
nEXT pumps, gas pumped through the interstage port will mix with gas pumped
through the pump inlet. Make sure that the gases do not react or combine to form
dangerous gases and substances.
WARNING: VACUUM EXPOSURE
Risk of injury. Do not expose the part of the human body to the vacuum.
WARNING: MERCURY VAPOUR
Risk of damage to equipment. Do not use a nEXT pump to pump mercury vapour. Do
not allow mercury (for example, from a McLeod gauge) to come into contact with the
pump. If mercury vapour is pumped, the pump rotor can corrode and fail.
CAUTION: CONDENSABLE GASES
Risk of damage to equipment. Do not use the pump to pump particulates or
condensable media. Deposition can occur in the pump which will degrade the pump
performance and decrease the pump life.
CAUTION: OXYGEN CONTENT IN GASES
Risk of damage to equipment. Do not use the pump to pump gases that contains
more than 20% oxygen. This can cause the lubricant to polymerise and the pump can
fail.
Note:
Concentrations of gases can be changed by the compression of the pump.
The pump is designed to pump the gases that follow:
▪
Air
▪
Carbon monoxide
▪
Neon
▪
Nitrogen
▪
Krypton
▪
Argon
▪
Carbon dioxide
▪
Helium
▪
Hydrogen
To pump a gas that is not listed, contact the supplier for advice. Failure to contact the
supplier can invalidate the warranty of the pump. The pump is not applicable for
pumping aggressive or corrosive gases.
