Standard Laboratory Vacuum System Stations

Turbo-Pump Based Stations

The standard turbo pump station consists of the following components:

  • A single turbomolecular vacuum pump
  • A single roughing pump
  • An electro-pneumatically operated, high throughput gate valve
  • A hand operated (usually) or an electro-pneumatic (rarely) foreline valve
  • A molecular sieve foreline trap
  • Various interconnecting vacuum hose and fittings
  • A foreline vacuum gauge
  • Dual chamber/beamline vacuum gauges
  • A vacuum pump gate valve interlock circuit
  • A panel mounted indicator & control panel
