Vacuum Pump Capacity Calculation Xls [portable]

The pipe between pump and chamber restricts flow. Conductance ( C ) (L/s) reduces effective pump speed:

If you prefer not to build from scratch, several manufacturers and technical sites provide downloadable XLS tools: vacuum pump capacity calculation xls

FINAL PUMP SIZING: Corrected Speed w/o Conductance (m³/h) =B13 B8 -> 732.8 Effective Speed with Conductance (m³/h) =1/( (1/B14) + (1/(B7/3.6)) )? (unit careful) Simpler: Required Pump Nominal Speed (m³/h) =B14 1.2 (20% conductance reserve) -> 879.4 The pipe between pump and chamber restricts flow
