Definition, Meaning & Synonyms
hyperstatic
Adjective
hʌɪpər’stætɪk
Definition
Referring to a condition in which a fluid is in a state of hyperstatic pressure, where the pressure exerted by the fluid exceeds the standard conditions.
Examples
- The hyperstatic condition in the pipeline led to a burst due to exceeding pressure limits.
- In hyperstatic systems, engineers must account for additional forces acting on the structure.
- The hyperstatic pressure in the chamber required careful monitoring during the experiment.
Meaning
Hyperstatic usually describes a situation involving extraordinarily high pressure in fluids, particularly in physics or engineering contexts, where the fluid pressure is greater than surrounding static pressures.
Synonyms
- Excessive
- Overpressurized
- Hyperbaric
