Vacuum Pressure Calculations

Vaccalc
• The program vaccalc was used for all calculations.
• The program required three pieces of information for each chamber: pumping, conductance, and outgassing.
• Using the given information, the program calculates the pressure at any point along the entire tube.

Assumptions
• Bertollini’s numbers on outgassing were true.
• 2000 (l/s)/m pumping for all NEG pumps with B or C screens.
• 1000 (l/s)/m pumping for all NEG pumps with A or D screens
• 1000 (l/s)/m pumping for all ion pumps (150 l/s pump over 0.15 m)

Data
• Conductance remains a constant throughout the LER tubes.
• Lengths were taken from drawings and tables.
• This is a work in progress, making it difficult to draw final conclusions from the plots.

Next Steps
• Test other possible combinations
• Finish the HER– Upstream– Downstream
• Recalculate outgassing numbers
• Check pump speed numbers– screen conductances
