Both time and temperature can decrease the vacuum draw of an evacuated tube. Hence the provided expiration dates and storage temperature of tubes. The vacuum of a tube will decrease if it is too old or if stored at a colder temperature than recommended.

Vacuum tubes are typically evacuated of gases to create a vacuum inside. However, some specialized vacuum tubes may use inert gases like argon or neon to improve performance or provide specific characteristics.

Cathode-Rays are streams of electrons. Having a charge of -1 and a small mass (about 1 /1836th of a proton), they interact easily. Since you don't want them to interact with the atoms in the tube (air, etc.), you evacuate the tube, leaving it in as near a vacuum state, or zero PSIA, as possible.
A vacuum tube is an electronic component that was used in early electronics to control the flow of electrical current. It consists of an evacuated glass enclosure containing electrodes such as a cathode, anode, and grid. Vacuum tubes were widely used in early radios, televisions, and computers before being largely replaced by semiconductors.
What does the evacuation system
Rubber sleeves are used on evacuated tubes to help maintain a vacuum seal within the tube. The seal helps to minimize heat loss and maintain the efficiency of the solar collector by preventing air from entering the tube and interfering with heat transfer.

The grid current in a vacuum tube increases as the grid voltage becomes more positive and decreases as it becomes more negative. Excessive grid current can damage the tube and cause distortion in the output signal. It is important to operate vacuum tubes within their specified grid current limits to prevent damage.
A vacuum tube is simply a tube with no oxygen nor carbon dioxide in it (aka no air).
