We are pleased to introduce the Diffusion Pump Oil LVO 500, a premium-grade white oil specifically engineered to meet the stringent demands of high and ultra-high vacuum applications. As a crucial component for optimal vacuum pump performance, LVO 500 stands out due to its exceptional purity and robust technical characteristics, ensuring reliable operation and extended service life for your vacuum systems.
The LVO 500 is classified as a **white oil (additive-free)**, signifying its superior purity. This absence of additives is paramount in vacuum technology, as it minimizes the risk of contamination and ensures chemical inertness within your delicate vacuum environment. This purity is directly reflected in its incredibly low **vapor pressure of 4×10⁻⁹ mbar at 20°C**. Such a low vapor pressure is critical for achieving and maintaining deep vacuum levels, significantly reducing backstreaming and contributing to a cleaner vacuum. For more insights on selecting the right oil for your Leybold pump, consider exploring our resources on Leybold vacuum pump oil.
Safety and thermal resilience are core attributes of LVO 500. With a remarkable **flash point exceeding 250°C**, this oil demonstrates excellent resistance to ignition even under high operating temperatures, providing an additional layer of safety in industrial and laboratory settings. Its **density of 868 kg/m³** is consistent with high-quality diffusion pump oils, ensuring proper circulation and functionality within the pump mechanism. The defining characteristic of LVO 500 is its **excellent thermal stability**. This property means the oil resists degradation and decomposition when exposed to the high temperatures inherent in diffusion pump operation, leading to less frequent oil changes and reduced maintenance costs.
The Diffusion Pump Oil LVO 500 is the ideal choice for a range of Leybold vacuum pumps, ensuring peak performance and longevity. It is perfectly suited for the following Leybold series:
