DIELECTRIC STRENGTH
A measure of the ability of an insulating material to withstand electric stress (voltage) without failure. Fluids with high dielectric strength (usually expressed in volts or kilovolts) are good electrical insulators. (ASTM Designation D 877.)

COPPER STRIP CORROSION
A qualitative measure of the tendency of a petroleum product to corrode pure copper.

SALINITY
A measure of the concentration of dissolved mineral substances in water.

ASH
A measure of the amount of inorganic material in lubricating oil. Determined by burning the oil and weighing the residue. Results expressed as percent by weight.
|
IMMISCIBLE
Incapable of being mixed without separation of phases. Water and petroleum oil are immiscible under most conditions, although they can be made miscible with the addition of an emulsifier.

ASPIRATING PSYCHROMETER
A device which draws sample of air through it to measure humidity.

INTERFACIAL TENSION (IFT)
The energy per unit area present at the boundary of two immiscible liquids. It is usually expressed in dynes/cm (ASTM Designation D 971.)
|
HIGH
An area of high pressure. Since a high is, on a synoptic chart, always associated with anticyclonic circulation, the term is used interchangeably with ANTICYCLONE
|
POISE
A measure of viscosity (absolute viscosity) numerically equal to the force required to move a plane surface of one square centimeter per second when the surfaces are separated by a layer of fluid one centimeter in thickness. It is the ratio of the shearing stress to the shear rate of a fluid and is expressed in dyne seconds per square centimeter (DYNE SEC/CM2); 1 centipoise equals .01 poise.
|
MISCIBLE
Capable of being mixed in any concentration without separation of phases; e.g., water and ethyl alcohol are miscible.
