The calculation methods for vacuum system pumping were usually based on some simple theoretical models, the corresponding results had significant deviations from actual situations. In this study, medium and low vacuum systems (including vacuum chambers, pipes and pumps) were taken as research objects. With a measured vacuum system, and relationship between pump’s suction flowrate and inlet pressure, a new calculation method for vacuum pumping time was proposed, in which laminar or turbulent model was selected according to the pipeline’s flow state. New and traditional laminar method were used to calculate the pumping process of the measured system, which found that in the middle and high pressure stage, the pipeline flow was in turbulent state and the resistance was non-negligible. If the influence of turbulence was ignored, the calculated pressure drop would be faster than actual situation. The calculation result was verified by actual measurement result, indicating that new method is practical for vacuum pumping time calculation.
