  Vacuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High vacuum is vacuum where the MFP of residual gases is longer than the size of the chamber or of the object under test.
Vacuum is often also measured using the barometric scale, or as a percentage of atmospheric pressure in bars or atms.
Vacuum fluctuations may also be related to the so-called cosmological constant in the theory of gravitation, if indeed this entity were to be observed in nature on a macroscopic scale.

 An Introduction to UHV - Ultra High Vacuum
UHV conditions are generally regarded as being in the region below 10 to the -9 millibar.
UHV is needed for surface science as molecules in the air will land on a surface and change its properties.
At this stage, the vacuum chamber is enclosed in heat resistant boards (known as ovens), and baked to a temperature of about 180 Celsius.

 Ultra high vacuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
UHV is necessary for these applications to reduce surface contamination, by reducing the number of molecules reaching the sample over a given time period.
Typically, there is no single vacuum pump that can operate all the way from atmospheric pressure to ultra high vacuum.
UHV pressures are measured with an ion gauge, either a hot filament or an inverted magnetron type.

 VacSeal High Vacuum Leak Sealant
Just remember that VacSeal was formulated to be a vacuum leak sealant, not specifically as an adhesive, but as we have learned over the years, a significant number of our customers are indeed using it as an adhesive.
Assuming the application is with a UHV (ultra high vacuum) system, and of course, the use of such joints in a UHV system is generally discouraged, in theory it could be used.
High vacuum joints pose particularly frustrating issues, since the tendency is for the curing to begin at the outside and progress inward.

The behavior of a vacuum system is characterised by the three parameters P (pressure), S (volumetric flow), and Q (gas throughput).
S is particularly useful, since most pumps are designed to have a constant volumetric flow rate over a wide range of pressures.
This expression has the form of an 'Ohm's law' for vacuum, where C is like 1/R, P is like volts, and Q is like current.
