Vacuum | Pressure Station

The Vacuum/Pressure Station is designed to provide a convenient, portable source of regulated vacuum and/or pressure for bench-top laboratory or commercial use. Each function is regulated independently by clearly identified valves and the easy-to-read compound function gauge eliminates the need for an elaborate plumbing network. The convoluted diaphragm and the unique head cavity of the pump are designed to provide extended diaphragm life by minimizing stress, wear and heat buildup. This has been done while ensuring and optimizing pressure and vacuum characteristics. The brushless pump motor is totally enclosed, thermally protected and has sealed ball bearings. No regular maintenance of the motor is required. A six foot long, three conductor power supply cord is supplied with the unit and the 115V AC motor is a U.L. recognized component.

The typical flow characteristics of the 115V station as related to pressure and vacuum. Also note that, even though model 400-3902 is designed for 50 Hz applications, it can be run on 230V AC, 60 Hz line current. In this condition, the flow data will equal that of the 400-3901 station but available torque will decrease. All units are intended to be started without load (both ports open to atmosphere). If either a vacuum or pressure exists, the pump may not start.

Always consider material compatibility before running any service through the Vacuum/Pressure Station.

The Materials in contact with the service are as follows:

1) Pump — NORYL® (polyphenylene oxide), nitrile and PTFE fluorocarbon.
2) Manifold chamber and fittings — PVC, silicone, linear polyethylene and stainless steel 303.
3) Pressure/Vacuum Gauge — Bronze tubing and brass socket.
