Understanding Vacuum and Vacuum Measurement

Understanding Vacuum and Vacuum Measurement Because of the work of 17th century scientist Evangelista Torricelli, we know that the atmosphere generally exerts enough pressure at sea level to support about a 30-inch (760mm) column of mercury. From that foundation, we can measure decreases in atmospheric pressure in

For example, at 18,000 ft. (5,486 m), atmos-pheric pressure is 7.35 psi, or half that at sea level (see Figure 2.1). At sea level, atmospheric pressure is ...
