You're talking about 2
different things.
Talking about so-and-so-much vacuum is sort of misleading. Your
30Hg of vacuum means 0Hg (0 mmHg, 0 mbar, 0 psi) absolute pressure; the vapor
pressure points were absolute pressure. Absolute pressure is measured
according to how high of a column of mercury
Yet in California WVO is so dangerous that it needs a special license
and 1 million dollars worth of insurance to even touch it.
I wonder why it is not illegal to transport 35 lbs of SVO? Logically,
it is the same stuff.
And what do I do with my used turkey fryer oil?

Hi John;
Ok I can see right off the bat where the confusion is comming from.
There is a discrepancy in the way these units are expressed because the
vapour pressure is expressed as just that - pressure. Vacuum is
expressed using the same units but in a negative sense ie 30" vacuum is
the same

Interesting. But compared to world use, 4.4 billion barrels is not all that much. Suadi Arabia claims to have 260 billion, and probably actually has at least 100 or 150 billion. They are currently pumping almost 2 billion a year.

Well said, but a higher vacuum can be pulled when
below sea level and it will read lower when above sea level. So it would be best
to know your baramic pressure before determining what your vacuum needs to be.
Forpeople above sea levelthey don't have to get as high ofa

Atmospheric pressure varies by a fraction of an inch (except for at the
eye of a hurricane and then dewatering your oil is less important!)

To remove water at 55C your pump has to remove
11(at sea level)times the atsmopheric volume of your container before you
get to a low enough vacuum to boil off water. If your atsmophericpressure
is 0.13 PSI lowerat your level.Then yourmultiplier is only 10
times, and if it's .29 PSI lower
