Volumetriska

Volumetriska is an adjective used in Swedish to describe something that relates to volume or to measurements of volume. The term is used in several scientific and technical fields to refer to methods, data, or phenomena defined by volume, such as volumetriska analyser, volumetriska data, or volumetriska rendering.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is formed from volym (volume) with a suffix that mirrors the English volumetric, yielding volumetrisk in the singular and volumetriska in the plural or feminine form. It is common in technical Swedish to describe processes, instruments, or data that depend on or quantify volume.

Applications and contexts: in chemistry, volumetrisk analys refers to quantitative analysis based on measuring liquid volumes, typically through titration with a burette to determine concentration. In medical imaging, volumetriska data or volumetric imaging describes three‑dimensional data sets produced by modalities such as CT or MRI, enabling measurement and segmentation of anatomical structures. In computer graphics and visualization, volumetrisk rendering and volumetriska data describe techniques and datasets that operate on 3D voxel grids to visualize substances like fog, smoke, or biological tissues. In fluid dynamics and process engineering, volumetriska rates or volumetric flow describe the amount of fluid passing a cross‑section per unit time.
