Say you have a single stage vacuum pump that can goto 100 microns at sea level.
If you goto 18,000 ft, where the air pressure is roughly half that at sea level; can you get down to 50 microns with the same pump?
The exhaust is only working against half the air pressure, so wouldn't the micron level also drop by half?
Vacuum pump capabilities vs altitude.
