Preferred Label : interstitial velocity;
Detailed label : interstitial velocity in chromatography;
IUPAC definition : The linear velocity of the mobile phase inside a packed column calculated as the average
over the entire cross section. This quantity can, under idealized conditions, be calculated
from the equation: \[u \frac{F}{\varepsilon_{{I}}}\] where F is the nominal linear
flow and ɛI the interstitial fraction;
