Rough Vacuum Equipment Training (RVET) System

A simple Rough Vacuum Equipment Training (RVET) system, at a minimum, consists of an interconnection of a rough vacuum pump, chamber, vacuum gauge for measuring pressure, two valves, and piping to interconnect the main components. These system components can be arranged in different geometries. One version of a RVET system, used at SUNY Erie Community College, is shown in Figure 1.

Using the RVET shown in Figure 1, most of the learning activities in this lab manual can be performed.
