Turbo Pump Operation ProcedureStandard

Standard operating procedure for turbo pump operation.

Safety ProtocolStandard

Follow institutional safety guidelines for vacuum technology.

  • Pump Down Order

    Always rough pump before engaging turbo — starting turbo at atmospheric pressure destroys bearings.

  • Record Pressure

    Log pressure vs time during turbo spin-up — abnormal curves indicate foreline issues.

  • Implosion Shield

    Stand to the side when venting glass chambers — implosion sends shards outward.

Safety Notes

  • Implosion hazard — wear face shield when handling glass vacuum chambers.
  • Verify vent valves before opening chamber — sudden air rush can eject debris.
