Why is my Pfeiffer Vacuum HiLobe 6204 H Water Pump not reaching ultimate pressure?
- MMs. Rachel ChapmanAug 8, 2025
If your Pfeiffer Vacuum Water Pump isn't reaching the expected ultimate pressure, several factors could be at play. First, examine the backing pump to ensure it's functioning correctly. Next, check the entire system for any leaks, conduct a leak test if needed, and eliminate any found leaks. Also, verify the calibration of your measurement instruments. Finally, check to see if auxiliary gases, such as sealing gas or gas ballast, are inadvertently entering the vacuum pump. If there is condensate or other outgassing impurities in the operation fluid, replace the lubricant.
