单词 overpressure
释义
overpressure

Chemical Engineering
  • 1. The pressure within a process vessel or some other equipment, which exceeds its expected or intended design pressure.

    2. A pulse of pressure that is above atmospheric pressure in the form of a blast wave as the result of an explosion. The peak positive overpressure is the maximum overpressure that is generated in the explosion. The side-on and reflected overpressures are the pressures experienced by a body placed in the path of the blast wave that offers no obstruction and diffracts the wave, respectively.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Overpressured zones occur in subsurface horizons in which the fluid pressure is greater than the normal hydrostatic pressure (see hydrostatic stress) for the depth in question. Overpressures develop in rapidly deposited sediments which have been sealed by impermeable horizons, which prevent the pore fluids from escaping. Drilling into overpressured horizons can cause hazardous blowouts and well-caving.
