teilhaltig

Teilhaltig is a German word that translates to "partially contained" or "containing parts." It is often used in a technical or scientific context to describe an object, substance, or system that is not entirely one thing or completely filled, but rather consists of distinct components or holds something within it. The specific meaning can vary depending on the field of application.

In chemistry, "teilhaltig" might refer to a mixture of substances where one component is present in a certain proportion, or a solution that is not fully saturated. For example, a "teilhaltige Lösung" would be a solution that contains a solute but not to its maximum possible concentration at a given temperature. In materials science, it could describe a composite material where different elements are present in varying amounts, or a porous material that can hold other substances.

In engineering, the term can be used to describe a component that has internal divisions or chambers, or a container that is not completely full. For instance, a "teilhaltiger Behälter" would be a tank or vessel that holds a substance but is not filled to capacity. The context is crucial for understanding the precise implication of "teilhaltig." It generally implies a state of being composed of or holding multiple distinct elements or quantities, rather than being homogeneous or empty.
