Vacuum is measured in inHg or inches of Mercury and a true vacuum is anything below zero on this scale...for reference normal atmospheric pressure or air pressure is about 14.7 inHg so anything less than that could be expressed as a vacuum or less than atmospheric pressure if above zero but less than 14.7 inHg...you can measure this with a vacuum gauge that you can get at any autoparts store but you can feel a vacuum as a suction just like your vacuum cleaner....So a vacuum is anyththing zero inHg or below and a partial vacuum is anything between zero and 14.7 inHg.

What is a vacuum in physics?
A system is said to be at a partial vacuum if it is at a negative pressure (pressure less than atmospheric pressure). When you use a straw, the partial vacuum created inside the straw is what causes your drink to travel up the straw and into your mouth.A perfect vacuum would be a space with nothing in it and a temperature of 0 degrees kelvin. Practically, however, we can only achieve and work with partial vacuums or pressure differentials. Even what we call outer space is only a partial vacuum. Rule of thumb: Nature hates a vacuum.

Where is the vacuum in port injection?
With a fuel port injection OR throttle body injection engine, the engine develops a partial vacuum between the throttle assembly and the intake valves. Note that there is never a true vacuum in ANY engine, and when the throttle is wide open, there is very little vacuum.

What is vacuum pump therapy?
In vacuum pump therapy, a man inserts his penis into a clear plastic cylinder and uses a pump to force air out of the cylinder. This forms a partial vacuum around the penis, which helps to draw blood into the corpora cavernosa.
