Conductance

Conductance is a measure of the ease with which gas can flow through a pipe, expressed as the ratio of gas flow rate to the pressure difference between two points in the pipe. It is highest when pump-down begins and decreases with lower vacuum levels below 1 mbar. For a typical straight tube with a diameter much smaller than its length, conductance can be calculated using formulas that depend on whether flow is viscous or molecular, based on the pressure and diameter.

Conductance

As and example, for a pipe with a constant gas flow of Q, the quantity of conductance,
C, can be expressed by:
21PP
CQ

=
Where P2 and P1 are the pressures at pipe sections 2 and 1 respectively. From a
physical standpoint, conductance equates a resistance and expresses the ease which
the gas flow Q passes along the pipe itself.
Conductance is a function of two factors: circuit configuration and pressure.
Conductance is relatively high when pump-down beings, and decreases progressively.
Its values are particularly low for vacuum levels better than 1 mbar. For a typical straight
tube with round sections, having a length (L) much larger than the diameter (D)
conductance is calculated by means of the following formulae:
Viscous or Laminar Flow: When P x D > 5x10-1 torr x cm:
xP
L
C xD
135 4 = [1 s-1]
Molecular flow: When P x D < 1x10-2 torr x cm
L
C xD
12.1 3 = [1 s-1]
