A vacuum evacuation device 2 of the invention comprises a vacuum pump 4,5 for exhausting a gas G2 in a process chamber 21 into which a process gas G1 is introduced and in which a process reaction is performed, to form a vacuum in said process chamber 21; and a control means 6 for performing a first control that regulates the rotational speed of said vacuum pump 4,5 such that a pressure condition in said process chamber 21 reaches a pressure condition suitable for said process reaction during said process reaction, wherein said control means 6 calculates a specified rotational speed for said vacuum pump 4,5 based on process information related to said process reaction, and performs a second control that brings said vacuum pump 4,5 to said specified rotational speed before said first control. The vacuum evacuation device 2 is capable of bringing the pressure in a process chamber 21 to the target pressure in a short period without a vacuum pump 4,5 being overloaded, regardless of the process reaction condition.

A turbo-molecular pump of high safety and reliability was presented, so that if an abnormal condition should develop on the rotor side, it will not lead to any damage to the stationary portions such as the stator or pump casing to cause loss of vacuum in a vacuum processing system. The turbo-molecular pump includes a rotor; a stator assembly surrounding the rotor; and a casing portion surrounding the stator assembly, wherein at least a partial clearance is formed between the stator assembly and the casing portion, so that, when an abnormal torque is applied from the rotor to the stator assembly, direct impact transmission is prevented from the stator assembly to the casing portion.

A flowmeter can measure a small flow rate of fluid with high measurement precision, can be made small-sized, can deal with a variety of types of chemicals, and can be produced easily at a low cost. The flowmeter includes: a casing having an enlarged portion and being disposed vertically; and a float enclosed in the enlarged portion of the casing and at least partly having a detection surface. The float is to be pushed up by a fluid flowing from below into the casing and flowing upwardly in the casing. The flowmeter also includes at least one displacement sensor, disposed outside the enlarged portion of the casing, for detecting an axial displacement of the float by magnetizing the detection surface of the float.
