ebulliometer, n.
(ɪˌbʌlɪˈɒmɪtə(r), -bʊl-)
[ad. F. ébulliomètre, f. as ebullioscope n. + -ometer.]
An instrument for measuring the boiling points of liquids.
| 1933 Chem. Abstr. XXVII. 2848 (heading) Ebulliometer for determining dew points and boiling points of mixtures of volatile liquids. 1935 Nature 18 May 830/1 The ebulliometer is filled with a substance which gives an azeotropic mixture with that absorbed. 1978 Fluid Phase Equilibria I. 195 A Swietoslawski type ebulliometer with a capacity of 65 ml was used to determine the bubble-point temperatures for the acetone-methanol system. |
Hence eˌbullioˈmetric a., of or pertaining to the ebulliometer or ebulliometry; eˌbulliˈometry n., the measurement of boiling points.
