One method is as “Hg gauge (“HgV), where the scale starts at 0” Hg (atmospheric pressure) and goes up to 29.92″ Hg, which is perfect vacuum. What measurement is vac? Vacuum is primarily measured by its absolute pressure. At room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure, one cubic foot (0.03 cubic Read more…
