Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between a vacuum gauge and a vacuum controller?
A vacuum gauge, like the VACUU·VIEW, is designed primarily for measuring and displaying the current pressure, while a vacuum controller, like the VACUU·SELECT, actively manages valves or pump speed to maintain a specific set point.
2. Why is chemical resistance important for vacuum sensors?
Since sensors are often exposed to aggressive solvent vapors during distillation or drying, chemically resistant construction (using materials like ceramics or fluoroplastics) ensures long-term accuracy and prevents internal corrosion.
3. Can the LLG RCT Standard 2.0 control temperature?
Yes, when used with the included PT1000 probe, this package allows for precise monitoring and regulation of the sample temperature during stirring.
4. What measurement range is needed for fine vacuum applications?
For fine vacuum applications, instruments like the VACUU·VIEW extended or the DCP 3000 are ideal, as they can measure accurately down to the 10-3 mbar range.
