Abstract
A vacuum pumping device comprises: a turbo-molecular pump; an backing pump connected to an outlet side of the turbo-molecular pump; a measurement section configured to measure first elapsed time until a suction-port-side pressure of the backing pump reaches a predetermined pressure higher than a turbo-molecular pump startable pressure and lower than an atmospheric pressure after start of the backing pump; an arithmetic section configured to calculate, based on the first elapsed time measured by the measurement section, the atmospheric pressure, and the predetermined pressure, second elapsed time until the suction-port-side pressure reaches the turbo-molecular pump startable pressure after the start of the backing pump; and a start control section configured to start the turbo-molecular pump when the second elapsed time has elapsed after the start of the backing pump.
