ISO 21360-2:2012

Vacuum technology — Standard methods for measuring vacuum-pump performance — Part 2: Positive displacement vacuum pumps

This part of ISO 21360 specifies methods for measuring the volume flow rate, base pressure, water vapour

tolerance, power consumption, and the lowest start-up temperature of positive displacement vacuum pumps,

which discharge gas against atmospheric pressure and with a usual base pressure <10 kPa.

In this part of ISO 21360, it is necessary to use the determinations of volume flow rate and base pressure

specified in ISO 21360-1.

This part of ISO 21360 also applies to the testing of other types of pumps which can discharge gas against

atmospheric pressure, e.g. drag pumps.
