Bennett T140 Operation, Service, & Parts Manual Troubleshooting To Measure A Pump’s Suction, the Working Pressure must be Atmospheric Pressure (14.7 PSI) = 30” of Mercury converted to Inches Of Vacuum. To figure, multiply the Working Pressure by 2. The result is the number of inches of vacuum that a pump can create before the product change to a vapor (i.e.
