A vacuum's quality is indicated by how little material is within it. The quality is usually measured in gas pressure (as torrs). A torr is a historical unit, although still used for vacuum quality. The Si unit is the Pascal.

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time?

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time is the power.Power is measured in watts, and is defined as joules per second. Work is a mechanical form of energy. Dimensionally, it is Force*Distance. Typical units are ft-lb or watt-seconds. Power is the rate of work, dimensionally Force*Distance/Time. Typical units could be ft-lb/hour, or watt.


What is a vacuum former used for?

A vacuum former has well known results, even though most people don't know it's name. A vacuum former is used for the plastic covering on product packaging.


What is vacuum pump?

A vacuum pump is any device which does work to transfer air from one volume to another volume, and thereby reducing the pressure of the first volume. There are several different types of vacuum pumps available, each operating over different pressure ranges.


What did otto van guericke invent?

Oh, dude, Otto von Guericke invented the vacuum pump in the 17th century. It's like this device that sucks out air from a space, creating a vacuum. So, yeah, he basically made it possible for us to understand the concept of a vacuum. Cool, right?


Why is vacuum in the condenser of such importance?

If you are talking about a condenser attached to a steam turbine, then a vacuum is important because it extends the usefulness of the steam in the turbine. As you probably know, steam begins to condense back into water at 212 deg at atmospheric pressure. However, in a vacuum condition, the boiling and condensing temperature is lower. Because the condenser is under a vacuum, steam exits the turbine and enters the condenser around 130 deg. This results in more power (mega watts).

How is vacuum measured and what units are typically used for this measurement?

Vacuum is measured using a unit called Torr, which is commonly used in scientific and industrial settings. Another unit used for vacuum measurement is Pascal (Pa), which is the SI unit of pressure. Vacuum levels are typically expressed in Torr or Pa to indicate the degree of pressure below atmospheric pressure.


What is vacuum measured in?

vacuum is measured in pressure. To get a vacuum you need a negative pressure. that would be inches of mercury hg


Why is a solid figure measured in cubic units?

The length, width, or height of a solid figure is measured in units of length. The area of the figure's outside surfaces is measured in squared units of length. The volume of space filled by the figure is measured in cubed units of length. The mass of the figure is measured in units of mass. The weight of the object is measured in units of force. The age of the figure is measured in units of time. etc.


In which deep vacuum is usually measured in?

How is the amount a vacuum cleaner sucks measured?

A vacuum cleaner is a machine used to suck up dust. The amount a vacuum cleaner sucks, can be measured in a number of ways including airflow in litres per second and airspeed in metres per second.


What area is measured in length units?

None. Area cannot be measured in length units - only in squares of such units.
