Grado de nebulización

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Spanish term or phrase:Grado/punto de nebulización

Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / drug characteristics
Spanish term or phrase: Grado de nebulización
Context: Punto de ignición/ Granulometría/ Grado de nebulización/etc.

This is a header in an expert report. The text goes on to talk about several physical characteristics of the drug in question, including flash point, evaporation point, boiling point, etc. Could this be "cloud point"? It would seem a bit odd to give this for a solution to my mind.

Any help will be much appreciated.

cloud point
Explanation:
Definition: (1) Point at which a definite lack of clarity, cloudiness, appears when a liquid is subject to adulteration or when it is mixed with another substance. (2) The temperature at which a liquid becomes cloudy when it is cooled. (3) In a condensation polymerization it is the temperature at which the first turbidity appears, caused by water separation when a reaction mixture is cooled.

dew point


Explanation:
No wonder you protest it has nothing to do with spray density, so would I, it is not. I can't see it any other way or any other explanation. This seems part of a technical spec (ficha técnica) with the usual parameters which in this case include the dew point but somewhat skewed in the Spanish way of describing the dew point of a liquid (punto de rocio). Good luck and saludos.

nebulosity degree


Explanation:
Some substances when heated, create a nebulosity above themselves due to the condensation of said substances into very small particles.

degree of fogging


Explanation:
See this document on stabilizer dispersions, I believe it is desirable to have a degree of fogging as low as possible, maybe to avoid losing active ingredient. Does it fit your context?

The dispersions of the invention have some viscosity or are slightly viscous and have good storage stability and homogeneity. They can easily be mixed with thermoplastic dispersions; the stabiliser dispersion does not coagulate prematurely. The thermoplastics of the invention are characterised by improved aging resistance and a lower degree of fogging; the processability is not impaired.

degree of atomization


Explanation:
Just wanted to add my contribution to the chaos. But no, seriously, your concern is right, Andrew, and based on the consulted sources I think fogging could also be appropriate, as weird as it may sound in the context.
