compressibility

listen to the pronunciation of compressibility
English - English
the degree to which something is compressible
the product of pressure and molar volume divided by the product of the gas constant and the absolute temperature
A factor expressing the deviation of a gas from the laws of hydraulics (See also Super compressibility)
the property of exhibiting compression under stress In the case of sheet material, the percent of loss of thickness when subjected to a given load applied by a disc of a given diameter for a specified short time and at a specified temperature as defined according to ASTM F-36 test procedures
The quality of being compressible of being compressible; as, the compressibility of elastic fluids
A factor expressing the deviation of gas from the laws of hydraulics
The volumetric change in a unit volume ot fluid (usually) when the pressure on that volume is changed where DV = change in volume, V, due to change in pressure, DP
A factor expressing the deviation of a gas from the laws of hydraulics
The ability to be compressed A characteristic of substances that can be compressed to fit into smaller containers, such as gases
A measure of a gases deviation from the ideal gas law It is the ratio between P V and n Ru T The compressibility of an ideal gas is unity
{i} ability to be compacted or condensed
Forces acting on a rotor blade when its tip speed approaches the speed of sound
The capacity of a metal powder to be densified under a uniaxially applied pressure in a closed die Compressibility is measured in accordance with MPIF Standard 45 and may be expressed numerically as the pressure to reach a required density or, alternatively, the density at a given pressure
That property of a soil which permits it to deform under the action of an external compressive load
All materials are compressible Under enough pressure the rock of Gibraltar will compress to some extent It is important that the friction material of the pad not compress under the expected clamping force If it does, pad wear will be uneven and braking efficiency will be compromised Compressibility is seldom mentioned in advertising It should be Compressibility of a given material and the wear rates are the two primary factors that are considered in determining the size of a pad for a given application
the change in volume of a unit of volume of a fluid when subjected to a unit change of pressure
a compound that enhances some property of, or imparts some new property to, the base fluid In some hydraulic fluid formulations, the additive volume may constitute as much as 20 percent of the final composition The more important types of additives include anti-oxidants, anti-wear additives, corrosion inhibitors, viscosity index improvers, and foam suppressants
The ability to be compressed A characteristic of substances, such as gases, that can be compressed to fit into smaller containers
Degree of physical change of the suspended solids or filter cake when subjected to pressure
the property of being able to occupy less space
is the factor of a gas or a gas mixture that causes it to differ in volume from that of a perfect gas when each is under the same pressure and temperature conditions Occasionally it is called deviation It must be determined experimentally
The property of a material which permits it to decrease in volume when subjected to an increase in pressure In gas measurement, the compressibility factor "Z" is the deviation from the ideal gas law behavior (See Supercompressibility )
Degree of physical change in a filter cake when it is subject to pressure, resulting in increased differential pressure and reduced flow
The change in volume of a volume of a fluid when subjected to a unit change in pressure
