VACUUM FORMULA

When establishing formula for the sizing of vacuum pumping systems, some assumptions are made….One is that our gases follow the Ideal gas law.

The ideal gas law was a product of empirical determinations (Boyle's & Charle's Law) showing the relationship of VOLUME, PRESSURE, and TEMPERATURE in a gas.

That relationship is explained by:

PV=nRT

This relationship shows the following:

1)  At a constant temperature the volume of a given gas is inversely proportinal to pressure.

2)  At a constant pressure the volume of a given gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature.

With this basis understanding of how our gases will behave in a vacuum environment, we can no proceed to our pump sizing.
