Turbo pump MSD vacuum system
The high vacuum pump in the HP G1099A model of the MSD is a turbomolecular
(turbo) pump. A turbo pump requires a screen to keep debris out of the pump,
but no baffle is necessary. Pump speed is controlled by the turbo controller; there
is no foreline gauge. The turbo pump MSD can accept up to 4 ml/min carrier gas
flow. The calibration valve has a restrictor with a larger internal diameter.
