Density :: Density (n.) Depth of shade.

Consistency :: Consistency (n.) A degree of firmness, density, or spissitude..

Catenary :: Catenary (n.) The curve formed by a rope or chain of uniform density and perfect flexibility, hanging freely between two points of suspension, not in the same vertical line..

Flint Glass :: Flint glass () A soft, heavy, brilliant glass, consisting essentially of a silicate of lead and potassium. It is used for tableware, and for optical instruments, as prisms, its density giving a high degree of dispersive power; -- so called, because formerly the silica was obtained from pulverized flints. Called also crystal glass. Cf. Glass..

Refraction :: Refraction (n.) The change in the direction of ray of light, heat, or the like, when it enters obliquely a medium of a different density from that through which it has previously moved..

Refract :: Refract (n.) To break the natural course of, as rays of light orr heat, when passing from one transparent medium to another of different density; to cause to deviate from a direct course by an action distinct from reflection; as, a dense medium refrcts the rays of light as they pass into it from a rare medium..

Manoscopy :: Manoscopy (n.) The science of the determination of the density of vapors and gases.

Water Thermometer :: Water thermometer () A thermometer filled with water instead of mercury, for ascertaining the precise temperature at which water attains its maximum density. This is about 39? Fahr., or 4? Centigrade; and from that point down to 32? Fahr., or 0? Centigrade, or the freezing point, it expands..

Eburnation :: Eburnation (n.) A condition of bone cartilage occurring in certain diseases of these tissues, in which they acquire an unnatural density, and come to resemble ivory..

Solidity :: Solidity (n.) The state or quality of being solid; density; consistency, -- opposed to fluidity; compactness; fullness of matter, -- opposed to openness or hollowness; strength; soundness, -- opposed to weakness or instability; the primary quality or affection of matter by which its particles exclude or resist all others; hardness; massiveness..

Denseless :: Denseless (n.) The quality of being dense; density.

Vinometer :: Vinometer (n.) An instrument for determining the strength or purity of wine by measuring its density.

Dasymeter :: Dasymeter (n.) An instrument for testing the density of gases, consisting of a thin glass globe, which is weighed in the gas or gases, and then in an atmosphere of known density..

Condensation :: Condensation (n.) A rearrangement or concentration of the different constituents of one or more substances into a distinct and definite compound of greater complexity and molecular weight, often resulting in an increase of density, as the condensation of oxygen into ozone, or of acetone into mesitylene..

Isopycnic :: Isopycnic (n.) A line or surface passing through those points in a medium, at which the density is the same..

Porosity :: Porosity (n.) The quality or state of being porous; -- opposed to density.

Compactness :: Compactness (n.) The state or quality of being compact; close union of parts; density.

Gramme :: Gramme (n.) The unit of weight in the metric system. It was intended to be exactly, and is very nearly, equivalent to the weight in a vacuum of one cubic centimeter of pure water at its maximum density. It is equal to 15.432 grains. See Grain, n., 4..

Isopycnic :: Isopycnic (a.) Having equal density, as different regions of a medium; passing through points at which the density is equal; as, an isopycnic line or surface..

Aerometer :: Aerometer (n.) An instrument for ascertaining the weight or density of air and gases.
