DEFINITION

Classification: 516/6

Discontinuous phase primarily liquid (e.g., mist, fog):

(under subclass 1) Subject matter in which the colloid system contains a discontinuous phase which is primarily liquid, such as, mist or fog.

(1) Note. "Primarily liquid" means that 50% or more of that phase is liquid, by weight, volume, or molecule.

(2) Note. Located in this subclass are colloid systems formed by compressed (but not liquified) or flowing gases, and not solid phase containing. Liquified propellants are located in indented primary classes.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

7, for a similar colloid systems which contain a solid phase, such as droplets of liquid surrounding a solid seed nucleus, solid walled microcapsules, smoke, or solid colloid-sized particles mixed with the liquid colloid-sized particles.

8, for a similar colloid systems formed by liquified, absorbed, absorbed, or dissolved propellant.

10+, for colloid systems of continuous liquid phase and a discontinuous gas or vapor phase (i.e., foam), and propellant, per se, therefor.
