Connection of the Fore-Vacuum Pump
The foreline connection should be made using the KF 16 NW flange provided on
the TwisTorr 305 FS. The connection to the foreline pump can be made by a

mechanical pump must be damped through the use of bellows.
The TwisTorr 305 FS is characterized by its high compression ratio also for oil

suitable trap between the turbopump and the fore-vacuum pump in order to
prevent back streaming oil or particulate from dry pumps.
