    Where airflow in Cubic Feet per Minute [CFM] is calculated using airflow = √ 13.35 × D 2 / vacuum. Where D is the diameter of the orifices. [5] [further explanation needed] CFM is always given statistically at its maximum which is at a 2-inch (51 mm) opening. Waterlift, on the other hand, is always given at its maximum: a 0-inch opening.

    Diagram of the vacuum filtration apparatus. By flowing through the aspirator, water will suck out the air contained in the vacuum flask and the Büchner flask.There is therefore a difference in pressure between the exterior and the interior of the flasks : the contents of the Büchner funnel are sucked towards the vacuum flask.
