The amount which a vessel, as a cask, of liquor lacks of being full; wantage; deficiency.
The amount of liquid that is short of being a full bottle as a result of the age of wine and storage conditions. As far as can be ascertained by inspection prior to the sale, they are described in the catalogue.
This is the volume in a liquid fuel tank that is not occupied by liquid fuel. This is sometimes referred to as the vapor space since it is filled with a mixture of fuel vapor and a cover gas, air in the case of commercial airplanes.
Free space above a liquid contained in a tank, drum or tank-container, expressed as a percentage of the total capacity. Ullage is often used to leave room for possible expansion of the liquid.
The small pocket of air in the bottle between the top of the wine and the cork. Most wines are bottled for immediate consumption and the ullage should be small, and of no concern. When purchasing older bottles, however, knowing the ullage can be an indicator of the quality of the wine. It is certainly an indicator of price - wines with a lot of ullage will fetch a much lower price than those with wine up to top-shoulder or into the neck of the bottle. A large ullage may suggest deterioration of the wine through oxidation.
(UL-ij)—The space in a bottle between the wine and the cork. Also called "headspace". If there is too much, the bottle has obviously leaked.
The air space in a fermentor between the wine surface and the stopper
The amount which a tank or vessel lacks of being full.
The space remaining in a partially filled tank.
The gas volume in an oil tank.
Unfilled volume of a propellant tank and rarely the unfilled volume in a solid motor.
The natural evaporation through the wood of wine/spirit from ageing in casks or through the cork of bottles is called ullage.
the amount that a container (as a wine bottle or tank) lacks of being full
That little bit of space between the top of the wine and the bottom of the cork.
The volume in a closed container which is not occupied by the stored material. Also a maneuver in which weightless liquid propellants in a tank are forced into a fuel pump prior to engine ignition. This maneuver is performed either by RCS jets or by ullage rockets specifically intended for this purpose. The maneuver causes the propellants to settle to the bottom of the tank.
The headspace between wine and the top of a container. This is kept to a minimum to avoid oxidation.
when casks or barrels are not fully topped up, they are said to be on ullage. The wines become oxidized.
the amount by which a container is short of being full. It is usually heard at sea in connection with tanks on ships which carry oil.
The airspace in a carboy found between the top level of wine and the bottom of the bung (rubber stopper).
is the head space between wine and the top of a container such as a barrel or bottle. If it is excessive it can cause oxidation.
1. the quantity represented by the unoccupied space in a tank or compartment; 2. the depth of space from the tank top to the free surface of the liquid
The space not filled with liquid in a drum or tank.
The empty portion of a partially filled tank.
The un-wetted portion of the tank, i.e. that portion of the tank not in contact with product.
The space between the cork and the wine.
the distance between the cork and the wine as the bottle stands upright. A large ullage in an older wine is normal; a similar level in a younger wine might mean trouble.
Free space within vessel after loading.
Airspace in a bottle or barrel.
Empty space present when container is not full.
The empty space above the liquid in a wine bottle usually after long storage. It is used as an indicator of how well a cork seals its bottle. Little or no ullage in old wines usually indicates that the wine will be unspoiled; large ullage is a sure sign that the wine is dead.
Also known as headspace, the unfilled space in a wine bottle, barrel, or tank.
Refers to the unfilled air space at the top of a bottle of wine, which is there largely to allow for expansion of the wine as the temperature changes.
The unoccupied space in a storage tank that is still available for use.
In rocketry, ullage is the space within a fuel tank but above the liquid fuel. This term derives from the same term 'ullage' in winemaking, where it refers to the space above the liquid in a container such as a barrel or wine bottle.
