Átfolyásra

Átfolyásra is a Hungarian term formed from átfolyás (throughflow) with the suffix -ra, which marks direction, purpose, or suitability. In technical language it is used to indicate that something is designed for, suitable for, or related to a throughflow process. As a grammatical form, átfolyásra often appears in phrases describing function or application, rather than as a standalone noun.

In scientific and engineering contexts, átfolyásra refers to the movement of a fluid through a material or system, such as water passing through soil, a filter, or a porous medium. It can also describe experimental setups where a sample is subjected to a controlled throughflow to study transport properties, reactions, or filtration efficiency. The expression is common in fields like hydrology, soil science, and environmental engineering.

Usage notes: átfolyásra is typically part of a compound expression, for example átfolyásra tervezett rendszer (a system designed for throughflow) or átfolyásra alkalmas közeg (a medium suitable for throughflow). It is not a widely used standalone term outside technical contexts, but it appears in manuals, specifications, and academic writing to signal throughflow-related design or behavior.

Etymology: The noun átfolyás means throughflow, and the suffix -ra attaches to indicate purpose or direction, yielding the locution átfolyásra. Related terms include átfolyás (throughflow) and, in English, throughflow as a loanword in technical Hungarian texts.
