barrier
▪
We had to staple a polythene vapour barrier to the rafters of a pitched roof.
▪
These were sealed in the same way as the rooflights, with air / vapour barrier material and plenty of butyl tape.
▪
The vapour barrier also served to protect the timber from rainfall during the time that the roof was being constructed.
▪
Cut to size, push between rafters, and conceal behind plasterboard lined with vapour barrier .
▪
A vapour barrier is formed by packaging the salt in foil lined boxes.
▪
Profiled insulation panels are laid on top of vapour barrier and then covered with Rockwell sheet.
pressure
▪
It was inflated with liquid rubber monomer under its own vapour pressure .
▪
The partial vapour pressure of the less volatile component decreases at the same time.
▪
The more volatile component is thus the one with the higher vapour pressure .
▪
Figure 3.13 shows how the vapour pressure of water increases with temperature.
▪
The increase in vapour pressure with temperature can be explained in terms of the kinetic theory.
▪
At all vapour pressures and compositions below it, the mixture is a vapour.
▪
Any decline in water loss might also be partly offset by the resulting increase in atmospheric water vapour pressure deficit.
▪
The inert gas argon is added to help to start the discharge because the vapour pressure of the mercury is very low.
trail
▪
Ruth flopped back in the lounger and studied the vapour trail through half-closed eyes.
▪
It was leaving an impressive vapour trail .
▪
High overhead, a jet laid its vapour trail across a bleached-blue sky.
water
▪
The amount of water vapour in a battery depends on the concentration of sulphuric acid in the solution.
▪
A porous polymer membrane bag seals the electrolyte, allowing water vapour , but not the acid solution, to pass.
▪
Both ordinary and thermal plasterboard are also available with a backing film which makes it resistant to water vapour .
▪
Or will more water vapour feed the warming process?
▪
Water vapour is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas but the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere is affected by human activities.
▪
Any decline in water loss might also be partly offset by the resulting increase in atmospheric water vapour pressure deficit.
▪
It must also provide a high level of water vapour resistance.
▪
Comets are easy to find because they are bright, being surrounded by vast clouds of water vapour .
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
At a distance, the figures of Lucier and Izzie stood like souls in purgatory, chest-deep in the seething vapour .
▪
It was inflated with liquid rubber monomer under its own vapour pressure.
▪
Or will more water vapour feed the warming process?
▪
The vapour might condense and fall on the slopes as a new sort of lubricant snow.
▪
The vapour of his breath feathered in a trail behind him as he moved through the cold bushes towards the stream.
▪
The swept vapour screen may be best employed for 3-D computer displays and component visualisation.
▪
Thus, at various stages in the column the descending liquid and the ascending vapour are in equilibrium.
