Vacuum systems

Reducing the pressure within equipment to below atmospheric pressure, sometimes far below, may enable performing operations at optimum conditions. A vacuum also can serve as a means to move material. In addition, safety considerations may dictate pulling a vacuum to avoid an explosive or other unsafe environment. Such systems pose unusual issues such as with leaks.
