Hg Vacuum To Hg Absolute
As vacuum pumps became more efficient it also became necessary to have a smaller vacuum measurement unit than the mm of hg.
Hg vacuum to hg absolute. In practice a perfect vacuum is impossible to obtain. Ver 08 aug 2017 vacuum. Vacuum of e g. The actual pressure at a given position is called the absolute pressure and it is measured relative to absolute vacuum i e absolute zero pressure.
A torr is 1 760 of an atmosphere and a micrometer is 0 001 torr. For full table with vacuum and water boiling point rotate the screen. 29 92 inches of mercury absolute hga 14 7 pounds per square inch absolute lb in psia atmospheric pressure is often measured with a mercury barometer and a height of approximately 760 millimetres 30 in of mercury is often used to illustrate and measure atmospheric pressure. Vacuum torr mm mercury micron psia lb in 2 abs inches mercury absolute inches mercury gauge kpa abs.
Most pressure measuring devices however are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere and so they indicate the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure. Mm hg in hg inches mercury kpa si unit bar. Vacuum pressures unit conversions chart absolute perfect vacuum or 100 vacuum is a zero reference pressure. Absolute pressure readings start at zero representing absolute zero pressure and read up to 760 representing standard atmospheric pressure in the case of the mms of hg scale.
Alternatively you can use our unit converter to calculate the vacuum conversion for all vacuum units. 100 mm hg is the same as 760 100 660 mm hg absolute pressure the table shows the water boiling temperature at different vacuum pressure. As with most pressure gage readings a vaccum expressed in inches of hg would be vacuum gage pressure that is pressure below the atmospheric. Absolute pressure would include the atmospheric barometric pressure at the location of the measurement with the respective gage pressure added or subtracted.
Absolute pressure is the pressure in psia above a perfect vacuum and is equal to atmospheric pressure less negative gauge pressure. Vacuum is given as absolute pressure and pressure below standard atmospheric pressure 1 bara 0 vacuum.
