Manometer :: Manometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases, steam, etc., constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube, or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening, or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index; a pressure gauge. See Pressure, and Illust. of Air pump..

Attenuation :: Attenuation (n.) The act of attenuating; the act of making thin or less dense, or of rarefying, as fluids or gases..

Gas :: Gas (n.) An aeriform fluid; -- a term used at first by chemists as synonymous with air, but since restricted to fluids supposed to be permanently elastic, as oxygen, hydrogen, etc., in distinction from vapors, as steam, which become liquid on a reduction of temperature. In present usage, since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure, the term has resumed nearly its original signification, and is applied to any substance in the elastic or aeriform state..

Receiver :: Receiver (n.) A vessel for receiving and containing gases.

Liberate :: Liberate (a.) To release from restraint or bondage; to set at liberty; to free; to manumit; to disengage; as, to liberate a slave or prisoner; to liberate the mind from prejudice; to liberate gases..

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

Self-repelling :: Self-repelling (a.) Made up of parts, as molecules or atoms, which mutually repel each other; as, gases are self-repelling..

Antimephitic :: Antimephitic (a.) Good against mephitic or deleterious gases.

Tube :: Tube (n.) A small pipe forming part of the boiler, containing water and surrounded by flame or hot gases, or else surrounded by water and forming a flue for the gases to pass through..

Flatulent :: Flatulent (a.) Affected with flatus or gases generated in the alimentary canal; windy.

Vent :: Vent (n.) Sectional area of the passage for gases divided by the length of the same passage in feet.

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..

Inhaler :: Inhaler (n.) A contrivance to filter, as air, in order to protect the lungs from inhaling damp or cold air, noxious gases, dust, etc.; also, the respiratory apparatus for divers..

Compressor :: Compressor (n.) A machine for compressing gases; especially, an air compressor..

Downcome :: Downcome (n.) A pipe for leading combustible gases downward from the top of the blast furnace to the hot-blast stoves, boilers, etc., where they are burned..

Rise :: Rise (v.) To ascend or float in a fluid, as gases or vapors in air, cork in water, and the like..

Gasogen :: Gasogen (n.) An apparatus for the generation of gases, or for impregnating a liquid with a gas, or a gas with a volatile liquid..

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

Rocket :: Rocket (n.) An artificial firework consisting of a cylindrical case of paper or metal filled with a composition of combustible ingredients, as niter, charcoal, and sulphur, and fastened to a guiding stick. The rocket is projected through the air by the force arising from the expansion of the gases liberated by combustion of the composition. Rockets are used as projectiles for various purposes, for signals, and also for pyrotechnic display..

Antimephitic :: Antimephitic (n.) A remedy against mephitic gases.
