EnglishWhat Are VACUUBRAND Vacuum Gauges and Controllers Used For?
Updated
VACUUBRAND vacuum gauges measure pressure across rough vacuum (down to 1 mbar), fine vacuum (down to 10⁻³ mbar), or both ranges, and are built to be chemically resistant, robust, and reliable. The VACUU·SELECT® vacuum controller is used in laboratory applications that need precise vacuum control and reproducible processes, with an operating concept designed for convenience and efficiency.
Vacuum gauges: what they measure and where they fit
The gauge you need depends on the pressure range your process actually reaches.
| Range | Coverage | Typical fit |
|---|---|---|
| Rough vacuum | Down to 1 mbar | Processes that stay at higher pressures and never approach fine vacuum |
| Fine vacuum | Down to 10⁻³ mbar | Processes that require deeper evacuation |
| Combined | Both ranges | Setups that move between rough and fine vacuum |
Two properties matter across the whole gauge line: chemical resistance and mechanical robustness. If your process involves solvent vapors, corrosive media, or routine lab handling, those are the characteristics to check first rather than the pressure range alone.
VACUU·SELECT® controller: what it is for
The controller is positioned for applications requiring precise vacuum control and reproducible processes. That combination matters when the same protocol has to run the same way across runs or across operators — for example, a rotary evaporation or filtration step where the pressure setpoint affects the result.
The stated design goal is an intuitive operating concept that improves convenience and efficiency in the laboratory. In practice, that means the controller is aimed at labs that want repeatable vacuum conditions without a steep learning curve.
Matching gauges and controllers to your application
VACUUBRAND organizes pump and system recommendations by application, and the same application list is a useful way to think about where gauges and controllers sit in a setup:
- Rotary evaporator
- Drying oven
- Filtration
- Concentrator
- Reactors & synthesis
- Fine vacuum distillation
- Lyophilization (freeze drying)
- Schlenk line
- Degassing
- Fore vacuum for HV and UHV
- Coating
- Regeneration of cryo pumps
- Glovebox
For any of these, the practical sequence is: choose the application, specify your requirements, then get product recommendations. The site provides a vacuum pump selection guide and a "Find your pump" entry point for exactly this.
How to decide
- Establish your target pressure. If your process only needs rough vacuum, a gauge rated to 1 mbar covers it. If it goes deeper, you need fine vacuum coverage down to 10⁻³ mbar, or a combined device.
- Check chemical compatibility. Since the gauges are described as chemically resistant, confirm the wetted materials suit your media rather than assuming.
- Decide whether you need control, not just measurement. A gauge tells you the pressure; the VACUU·SELECT® controller is for holding and reproducing it.
- Use the application list as a shortcut. If your workflow matches one of the listed applications, start from the recommended pumps for that application and work outward to gauges and control.
