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 compressibility of gases is higher than that of liquids.
Often used for compressibility factor or ratio, especially in thermodynamics.
A more colloquial way to express 'ease of compression', not a standard technical term.
Check how easily this material can be compressed.
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).
Measure the compressibility factor of this substance.
Same term as physical compressibility, used in computer science contexts.
