wax dispersion layer Explanation: ワックス分散層is correct. I have just read the patent you are working on. The test is done by filling a 100 mL cylinder with the test fuel oil and cooling to -10°C. Solubility of wax decreases and you will see precipitation of wax. The larger the volume of wax precipitation, the lower the dispersibility. (good)=80 mL clear solution (i.e. wax dispersion layer), 20 mL wax precipitate (average)=dispersion layer is 60 mL~80 mL, the rest is wax precipitate (inferior)=dispersion layer is 30 mL~60 mL, the rest is wax precipitate |

dispersed bed/dispersion layer Explanation: Firstly, dispersability appears to make the most sense contextually, but I thought I'd look it up anyway. Would like to hear from others in terms of the context in which it is used, but it does seem that the term appears with relatively frequency when translated as either dispersed bed or dispersion layer, but I'm not sure which suits your context best. I would think it was "dispersion layer". Now to hear from some subject matter experts on this! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2013-02-07 10:56:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Glad to see there was a response from an expert in the field! :) Reference: http://ejje.weblio.jp/content/%E5%88%86%E6%95%A3%E5%B1%A4 |
