ericrm,
I would get the manufacture, brand and model number and search for it in Google, also look for a repair kit for the pump, it will probably tell you what chemicals the pump can handle, or what the parts are made of.

You can also use a scrubber jar in between your vacuum flask and the pump.

Portable medical vacuum pumps look similar to that one.

thank butcher
it is a knf chemical resistant pump, it can be used and made from transfering strong acid gaz, the thing is i dont see any pressure regulator on it ,so im wondering what would refrain it from sucking too strongly or not strong enuf ...
in the same way of idea ,do you know how much negative pressure a filter paper can endure?
