DIN ISO 21360-1:2016-09

This part of ISO 21360 is a basic standard for measuring the performance data of vacuum pumps. The methods specified here are well known from existing national and International Standards. In developing this part of ISO 21360, the aim has been to provide a single document containing the measurements of performance data of vacuum pumps and to simplify the future development of specific vacuum pump standards. Specific vacuum pump standards will contain a suitable selection of measurement methods from this part of ISO 21360 in order to determine the performance data, limiting values and specific operational conditions on the basis of the specific properties of the particular kind of pump. Whenever a discrepancy exists between this part of ISO 21360 and the specific standard, it is the specific standard which is valid.
