Description
The National Physical Laboratory [NPL] requirement is for a custom mobile pumping station/leak detector suitable for use with cryogenic systems. The system should comprise a turbo pump with backing/roughing pump and a leak detector which can be switched in/out of the circuit using electro-mechanical valves. It should be possible monitor and control the system (valves, pressures, status of the turbo pump etc) using an easy-to-use control panel.

2. The system needs to be fully mobile and should e.g. fit through a normal door.
3. It should be equipped with a full range vacuum gauge mounted behind the test port
4. All valves should be electro-mechanical (not pneumatic) and individually controlled by the user
