The aspirator was used on the laboratory sink in Dan's laboratory room, and he had a pressure sensor attached to the drum. He lowered the pressure in the drum to about 40 kiloPascals, about 40% of atmospheric pressure. The drum used had a surface area of about 3000 square inches, so a 40 kPa internal pressure would cause the atmosphere to exert a net inward force of about 26,000 pounds or 13 tons on the walls of the drum.
在丹的实验室房间里,他将吸气器用在实验室水槽上,并在鼓室上安装了一个压力传感器。他将鼓室内的压力降低到约40千帕,约为大气压的40%。所用的鼓室表面面积约为3000平方英寸,因此40千帕的内部压力会使大气对鼓室壁施加约26,000磅或13吨的净向内力。
