Operate, step 8 of 8
It was fine yesterday. What changed?
A machine in service fails in a small number of ways, and each one has a spectrum. This step reads the failure mode from the residual gas rather than from the pressure alone.

What already answers this
Nothing below is a copy. Each line is the surface of this site that carries the answer, and what it carries.
- /tools/rga-abacus/ fingerprints observed peaks against the contaminant library
- /tools/spectrum-abacus/ gives the ratio and the decision for every documented signature
- /academy/troubleshooting/ walks air leak, virtual leak, water and hydrocarbon from their spectra
- /essays/no-dashboard-pumps-faster/ says what a dashboard can and cannot see about a pump
What the pump corpus can tell you about the machine you run
333 validated models across 14 families, 3830 parameters, each one carrying the source key and the page it was read on. Every family below is a family this site can name a model in.
| Family | Models | With a published pumping speed | With a published ultimate pressure |
|---|---|---|---|
| claw | 10 | 10 | 7 |
| cryo gm | 34 | 31 | 1 |
| ion diode | 13 | 13 | 13 |
| ion noble diode | 8 | 8 | 8 |
| ion star | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| multistage roots | 46 | 42 | 24 |
| neg cartridge | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| neg ion combo | 6 | 6 | 0 |
| piston dry | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| roots booster | 50 | 36 | 29 |
| screw | 18 | 17 | 15 |
| tmp classic | 33 | 27 | 19 |
| tmp hybrid | 73 | 73 | 59 |
| tmp maglev | 31 | 29 | 27 |
A machine that drifts is read from its residual gas first, and from what its pump is rated to do second. This step carries the second. The block below carries what the corpus knows about how the pump you laid actually fails.
Not in the base yet
What this step cannot answer, and why. Every count below is read from the corpus at build, so this block shrinks on its own the day the data grows.
- unsourced The pump corpus is here, 333 models across 17 families with 3830 sourced parameters, and this step reads it. It also reads what the corpus knows about how those pumps fail: 167 failure modes are servable in English for the model or the family you laid. 125 more are tracked in the same corpus and still written in French in the producing repository, so they are held back rather than machine-translated, because translating a source would be inventing it.
- unsourced No service interval, no mean time between failures and no wear model is carried for any component. A Bill of Vacuum built here says nothing about when to service it.
