Now as a stream plan expert can you tell us why did they not state the
inlet pressure in mmHg? What is vaccum normally measured in?

I still say the inlet pressure was 9psi! Care to admit I was right?

Cheers

If you don't believe me, try asking at

http://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org...919/91698.html

Or you could dig up a copy of "The Shipbuilder" magazine from 1911 which
discussed the Titanic's engineering plant in some detail.

Here's a clue- check the designed pressure drop across the turbine...
then look at some specs on operating main condensers...
