Class Hierarchy

owl:Thing › bfo:entity › bfo:continuant › bfo:specifically dependent continuant › bfo:quality › bfo:relational quality › ratio › saturation ratio

Direct subclasses:

• relative humidity
• solution saturation ratio

Definition

ratio of a material entity whose magnitude is the magnitude of a quality of that material entity relative to the magnitude at the saturation limit for that quality under defined conditions

Explanatory Notes

The saturation limit is the limiting (maximum) value of the corresponding saturation-relevant quality for that material entity under those conditions (e.g., concentration relative to saturation concentration; water-vapor partial pressure relative to saturation vapor pressure).

Examples

• the dissolved oxygen saturation ratio of a cell culture medium at 37 °C; the water vapor saturation ratio of humidified incubator air at 37 °C; the carbon dioxide saturation ratio of a buffer under a 5% CO₂ gas phase;

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

SaturationRatio(x) → Ratio(x) ∧ ∃m (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ qualityOf(x, m))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘saturation ratio’ then x is a ‘ratio’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘material entity’
