Rotary lobe blowers, commonly called boosters in high vacuum application, are not used as a stand alone pump.

In vacuum applications, a cold trap is a device that condenses all vapors except the permanent gases into a liquid or solid.

In vacuum applications, the permeability of the material makes point contacts quite useless.

It is one of the few plastics compatible with ultra-high vacuum applications.

Special glass stopcocks are made for vacuum applications, such as in use with vacuum manifolds.

Stopcock grease is always used in high vacuum applications to make the stopcock air-tight.

Apiezon or similar hydrocarbon based greases are the cheapest, and most suitable for high vacuum applications.

Falling film evaporators are also characterised by very low pressure drops; therefore, they are often used in deep vacuum applications.

A target contains a large amount of material and is maintenance free making the technique suited for ultrahigh vacuum applications.

It also performs well in vacuum applications, down to extremely low cryogenic temperatures.
