French to English translations [PRO]
Science - Physics / types of vacuum

French term or phrase: vide moyen

In a text on contemporary art:

"on manipule un peu l’appareil muséal à faire le vide. Quel vide ? Grossier, moyen, poussé, ultravide pour reprendre les termes de physique."

I know nothing about physics. Any ideas?
