doorgestroomde

Doorgestroomde is a Dutch adjective derived from the verb “doorstromen,” meaning “to flow through” or “to pass through.” In contemporary usage the term describes substances, signals, or materials that have traversed a medium without being significantly altered, often in technical contexts such as fluid dynamics, electrical engineering, and logistics.

Etymologically, “door” denotes “through” and “stroom” relates to “flow” or “current,” so the literal translation can be rendered as “through‑flowed” or “passed through.” The past participle form “doorgestroomde” functions attributively, e.g., “doorgestroomde vloeistof” (the fluid that has passed through a filter) or “doorgestroomde data” (data transmitted through a network).

In hydraulic engineering, doorgestroomde water refers to water that has moved through a conduit, pipe, or filter system while retaining its original properties, a concept important for assessing system efficiency and contamination levels. In electrical engineering, doorgestroomde stroom (current) describes an electric current that has traversed a circuit element without appreciable loss, relevant to power transmission studies.

The term also appears in supply‑chain management where “doorgestroomde goederen” indicates goods that have moved through an intermediate stage, such as a distribution center, en route to final delivery. Its neutral, descriptive nature makes it a standard lexical item in technical Dutch literature and industry documentation.
