HT16B
The HT high throughput series is the pinnacle of our diffusion pump knowledge with technology aimed specifically at industrial users.
Edwards HT16B (ANSI16/ISO5000 inlet) diffusion pump is designed for all light and heavy duty industrial applications. The robust construction gives high pumping speed at high pressure. The cast and machined aluminium interior provides consistent performance, while the stainless steel body prevents corrosion and ensures process cleanliness. These pumps are designed to give a high throughput (pressure multiplied by pumping speed) at 4 × 10-3 mbar making them ideal for industrial processes that involve large quantities of gases.
Features and Benefits
- Highest throughput of comparative sized pumps
- Earliest crossover pressure of similar sized pumps
- Excellent maximum backing line pressure and tolerance to gas surges
- Comparative pumping speed to similar sized pumps
- Integral cold cap for best performance and low backstreaming
- Self fractionating for low ultimate pressures
- Easy change heater assembly
- Half power energy saving standby mode
- Oil level sight glass fitted as standard
Applications
- Vacuum metallurgy
- Distillation, drying and degassing
- Thin film coating and metallizing
- Large-scale research
