Hey Folks,
   I am looking to buy a vacuum pump for a variety of HV experiments, 
crackle tubes, lightning tubes etc. I find measurements in three different 
measures: In.Hg. ,Torr ,&  mb. Does anyone have a good conversion table for 
these measurements?? What would be a good low number to work towards when 
buying a pump, short of buying the most expensive one I can afford???
   Hope this is not too off-topic on this list...

Thanx
