is capacity of

IRI: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/construct/isCapacityOf

Defined In: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/biopharma/ReferenceOntologyCandidates/

Type: Object Property

SubProperty Of: bfo:specifically depends on

Domain: capacity

Range: capability

Definition

relation between a capacity and a capability on which the capacity specifically depends

Explanatory Notes

A capacity specifically depends on exactly one capability, and both inhere in the same bearer. If the capability ceases to exist, the capacity also ceases to exist. A capability may have multiple distinct capacities associated with different quantitative dimensions.

Examples

  • the flow-rate capacity of a centrifugal pump is capacity of its pumping capability; the head capacity of a centrifugal pump is capacity of its pumping capability; the throughput capacity of a depth filter is capacity of its filtration capability; the buffering capacity of a phosphate buffer solution is capacity of its buffering capability
