DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS:
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
In order to achieve the specified performance and to maintain it continuously during the
research tenure, the special facilities and quality control measures should be adopted, over
and above standard vacuum practices.
To minimize surface degassing (thereby, cutting down the pump down time) all the Stainless
steel components and sub-assemblies should be electro-chemically polished. All the
components, sub-assemblies and final unit should be leak tested at a leak range of 10 x 10-9
std.cc/Sec using a Helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector having a sensitivity of 6 x 10-11
std. cc/sec.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS:
Oil diffusion pump should be of reputed companies make, Oil Diffusion pump having 150
mm nominal diameter (D) with an effective pumping speed of 750 lit/sec.
A high vacuum butterfly type valve of 6"size to provide maximum pumping capacity should
be provided above the diffusion pump.
VACUUM COLLAR
A vacuum collar should be provided above the high vacuum valve and should be versatile for
multiple needs of the user. The top port should be blanked off and can be connected after
removing the top plate when maximum pumping speed is required. In case of a connection
to a smaller opening a KF-25 side port should be provided.
An air admittance valve to release vacuum into the collar and a fine control needle valve for
controlled admittance of inert gas should be provided.
SS Bellow :
1 nos. of SS vacuum compatible bellow of KF-25 should be provided extra with the
pumping system for future use.
PIRANI GAUGE
The unit should be provided with an digital pirani gauge, two pirani gauge heads should be
provided to independently monitor the roughing and backing pressure in the range of 0.5 to
0.001 mbar through a selector switch. It should be of reputed make.
PENNING GAUGE
A digital penning gauge, with 1 no. metal gauge head should be provided to monitor high
vacuum in two ranges. First range is 1 x 10-3 to 1 x 10-5 m.bar and second range is 2 x 10-5
to 1 x 10-6 m.bar. It should be of reputed make.
SAFETY DEVICES:
A water flow switch in the water circulation line of the unit should be provided to protect
the diffusion pump in case of water supply failure/low pressure by switching off the
diffusion pump heater.
A Thermostat switch should be fitted to the water cooling coils of the diffusion pump to
protect it from excessive heating by switching off the heater.
Over Load protection devices should be provided for the vacuum pump motor and diffusion
pump.
(C)ELECTRICAL CONTROLS :
All the above components should be housed in an aesthetic MS frame with a front panel for
mounting gauges and controls. The valve control knobs should be towards the front of the
frame. The unit should be mounted on 4 castor wheels for easy mobility.
The following materials are supplied free along with the unit:
a) First charge of molecular distilled oil for vacuum pump.
b) First charge of silicone oil DC-704 for diffusion pump.
c) One set of Instruction Manual.
