Translation guide
The property of being able to be compressed or reduced in volume under pressure. In Japanese, this is typically expressed with technical terms derived from the verb 圧縮する (asshuku suru, 'to compress').
The ability of a substance (gas, solid, etc.) to be reduced in volume by pressure.
Standard technical term for compressibility in physics and engineering.
The degree to which digital data can be reduced in size by a compression algorithm.
圧縮性 is the most direct translation and works in both physical and data contexts. For data, you may also encounter 圧縮率 (compression ratio) or 圧縮効率 (compression efficiency).
The compressibility of gases is higher than that of liquids.
Often used for compressibility factor or ratio, especially in thermodynamics.
この物質の圧縮率を測定する。
Measure the compressibility factor of this substance.
A more colloquial way to express 'ease of compression', not a standard technical term.
この素材の圧縮しやすさを調べる。
Check how easily this material can be compressed.
Same term as physical compressibility, used in computer science contexts.
ファイルの圧縮性は内容によって異なる。
The compressibility of a file depends on its content.
Refers to compression efficiency or how well data can be compressed.
このアルゴリズムは圧縮効率が高い。
This algorithm has high compression efficiency.
Adjectival phrase meaning 'easy to compress', used informally.
テキストファイルは圧縮しやすい。
Text files are easy to compress.
