5.10 Vacuum
Problems
Leakage, contamination and unusual outgassing are the general causes of problems with poor
vacuum. To operate at maximum effi ciency a system must be thoroughly clean. If the system is
completely clean and free from leaks, and unwarranted vacuum problems still exist, the pump
should be checked. A simple criterion for the condition of the pump is the determination of its
maximum vacuum capability. This can be accomplished by blocking of the intake and reading
the vacuum level on the gauge (See Section 2.8).
