Description
A120 oil is used for our rotary vane vacuum pumps but can also serve as a fluid for common applications with hydraulic guards mounted on gloveboxes with gas purifiers. The recommended oil is a high-quality low-vapor-pressure mineral oil. For specific applications, oils with different properties can be used.
Regularly check the oil level of a hydraulic guard. Proper oil level helps protect a sealed enclosure from excessive pressure or vacuum. The oil bath has the advantage of trapping particles from the glovebox atmosphere. For this reason, it is recommended to replace the oil bath when the oil becomes noticeably discolored or at least every 3 years.
