Are you talking of absolute pressure, gauge pressure, or vacuum?

Hi kalpana ,

 

Consider this online calculator : http://www.onlinecon...om/pressure.htm

 

As Dejan said clarifications are needed , I don't understand the word suction in your description .

Hello Kalpana,

 

Attach I send you a solution.

 

You need understand very well the definition about pressure absolute (Pabs), pressure manometric (Pman), and pressure atmospheric (Patm). When P man is negative this pressure is vacuum (Pvac).

 

Regards,

 

Napo.
