Workflow
Perform Rough Procedure
1-2 hoursFollow the established methodology for rough pump down procedure. Execute each substep with care, using calibrated instruments where needed. Follow vacuum technology standards throughout.
Record and Analyze Results
1 hourSystematically record all measurements and observations. Cross-reference readings with expected ranges for vacuum-technology.
Review Quality and Document Findings
45 minCompare collected data against reference standards. Identify any anomalies or areas needing repeat measurement. Create a complete record with all findings and next steps.

Key parameters and target values for quality assurance.
| Parameter | Target | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Quality | Meet spec | Verify twice |
| Safety | PPE worn | Stop if unsure |
| Documentation | Complete log | Photo if needed |
Pump Down Order
Always rough pump to below 100 mTorr before engaging high-vacuum pumps.
Leak Check
Spray isopropanol on joints while monitoring pressure rate of rise.
Implosion Shield
Stand to the side when venting glass chambers — implosion sends shards outward.
Safety Notes
- Vent chamber slowly through approved valve — rapid venting can damage windows and sensors.
- Wear safety glasses when working with viewport glass under vacuum.
