The RV series of small oil sealed rotary vane pumps deliver excellent ultimate vacuum pressure, high pumping speeds and superior vapor handling capabilities with quiet operation. The Edwards RV8 rotary vane Vacuum pump features a peak pumping speed of 6cfm at 60 Hz and an ultimate pressure of 1.5x10 ^-3 Torr (2x10 ^-3mbar). With a small footprint and a relatively light weight of only 57 pounds, this vacuum pump is an ideal addition to all laboratories, of all sizes, and can be utilized in just about any application. With an extremely low noise level of 48 decibels, this vacuum pump is quiet enough to keep potential disruption to a minimum. The Edwards RV8 has a maximum water vapor inlet pressure of 38 Torr and a maximum water vapor capacity II of 220 grams per hour.

The Edwards RV8 is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped. This product is supplied with 1 liter of Ultra-grade 19 oil, inlet filter and O-ring.  Fomblin must be purchased separately for PFPE RV pumps.
