The vacuum level is the difference in pressure between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure in the evacuated system:

  • 0% vacuum = 760 torr = 14.7 psia = 29.92 inc mercury abs = 101.4 kPa abs
  • 50% vacuum = 380 torr = 7.3 psia = 15 inc mercury abs = 50.8 kPa abs
  • 99.9% vacuum = 1 torr = 0.01934 psia = 0.03937 inc mercury abs = 1.3 kPa abs

For perfect vacuum (100%) - the pressure is 0 torr, 0 psia or 0 Pa abs.
