With everything there is a beginning process to decide what type of vacuum pump you want to purchase. There are so many things to consider and it can become frustrating if you don’t have any idea of what you are doing. The big thing that happens is as you try to figure out the best vacuum pump you come up with another question. Here are some questions that are good to go through prior to shopping around for a vacuum pump.

1. What ultimate pressure is required?
2. What gas loads will be present?
3. Are there process gas problems?
4. What cleanliness levels will be required?
5. Will the system be opened frequently?
6. Will the pump require valving and a backing pump?
7. Do the pumping speed vs pressure curves match the process requirements?
8. Can the pump be installed easily on the system?
9. What maintenance requirements of problems are there?
10. What will the cost of the pump be?

It is important to remember that the best pump out there is the pump that is going to do the best job for you.
