Purpose of VM-5 vacuum oil: VM-5 vacuum oil obtained from sulfurous or low-sulfur oils using deep purification and vacuum distillation technology. VM 5 vacuum oil is used as a working fluid in high-vacuum steam-oil pumps (providing a lower residual pressure in vacuum systems compared to VM-1 and VM-1C vacuum oils), as well as, in some cases, in mechanical pumps with oil seals of mating parts.
Interchangeability: no
