Japanese term or phrase: 閾値よりよくなったら
PIG1の閾値より真空度がよくなったら粗引きが完了。

This is about cryopumps. Now, my question is that doesn't "閾値よりよくなったら" in the above sentence imply that the vacuum becomes lower than the threshold value, which is what is desired right!
Is my interpretation correct? I would translate this sentence as:

Roughing is complete when the degree of vacuum becomes lower than the threshold value of PIG 1.

Note: PIG1 is the value measured with a Pirani gauge.

Explanation:
I am sure your interpretation is right.

But I think the rendering should be either

vacuum becomes BETTER than ...
like the original, or as I am suggesting above.
