Pump fixing
If a rotor failure occurs, the connection of the pump to the system could be

subjected to a significant torque. If the connection is not sufficient to
withstand that torque, the pump could detach from the system or the motor
housing could detach from the pump envelope. In this case metal fragments
could be projected from the pump or system, which could cause serious
injury or death and/or damage to surrounding equipment.
Fix the TV 1001 SEM in a stable position, mounting the inlet flange of
the turbopump to the system counter-flange, with a connection
capable of withstanding a torque of 8900 Nm around its axis.
For example the ISO-K flange can be fixed using high strength steel
clamps (like Agilent model IC63250DCMZ).
The following table shows, for each flange, the necessary number of
IC63250DCMZ clamps and the relevant fixing torque.

The following table shows, for each ISO-F flange, the necessary
number of screws and the relevant fixing torque.

The class of the steel screws for "F" flange must be > 8.8
The turbopump with ConFlat inlet flange must be fixed to the
vacuum chamber by means of the appropriate Agilent hardware. See
the appendix "Technical Information" for a detailed description.
The TV 1001 SEM can be installed in any position.
