This will not affect the performance of the tube. it just tells us if there is an issue with the pump. When the gate valve is open, the pressures should about equalize. We are looking into getting a replacement.

Usually during pump, base pressure, and such, the pump pressure comes down with the tube and Aux pressures as read on the monitor. My wafers visually look ok. > during STBYPOLY base pressure, the readings were Tube =9mT, Pump = 1196 mT, Aux = 29 mT. During leak check, Tube = 45mT, Pump = 1196mT, Aux = 54mT. > Could it be a bad pressure sensor?
