Refers to the ability of a thread to follow another thread supplier, thread type, and/or thread color on the sewing floor with minimum machine adjustments. To minimize thread incompatibility, A&E recommends using the minimum number of suppliers if possible.
The ability of ink, film, substrate and/or solvents to function together in an acceptable manner.
The capacity of software or hardware to work in conjunction with other software or hardware. As in, PTWin32 is compatible with Windows 2000.
Big word for cooperation. This refers to how well programs work with other programs, how hardware works with software, and how two computers share information.
The ability of an instruction, source language, or peripheral device to be used on more than one computer.
Physical Properties and Testing Property of a material to remain in contact with a different material without adverse physical or chemical interactions resulting.
See Mixing Fluids, Material Compatibility and also Buna-N/Nitrile.
The ability of hardware and software from different vendors to work together.
the ability for two devices to communicate together of software to run on a particular hardware platform.
A lubricant's ability to be mixed with another lubricant without detriment to either lubricant. Also, the ability to come into contact with other components or materials without detrimental effects.
The ability of two or more materials to mix with each other without separation or reaction. Also, types of paints that may be applied over each other successfully are termed “compatible.
The ability of hardware or software to work with another.
the ability of an instruction to be translated or used by more than one type of computer
The ability for two computer devices or components to work with each other. Also, the ability of software applications to run on a particular hardware platform.
The ability of a finish, decoration, or material to resist degradation or physical change caused by the product it will come into contact with.
The ability of coating material, solvents, and substrate to function together in an accaptable manner.
Capable of being mixed easily without causing surface or chemical defects. (May also pertain to the adherence ability of dissimilar coatings to each other, or a coating to a substrate.)
If two pieces of computer hardware or software are able to communicate with each other, they are said to be compatible. The Internet is designed so that all information passed on it can be accessed by any computer.
Refers to the reaction a sealant has on another sealant or on another material.
Basically, can two (or however many) given systems work together correctly? For example, browser compatibility is an issue of browsers being able to handle some capability or function; the implementation of JavaScript code often raises browser compatibility issues because different browsers vary in their ability to support the same JavaScript object model the same way.
The ability to interconnect products from different seasons
The ability of ink, substrate, solvents, coatings, etc., to function together during the life time of the finished label.
ability of entities to be used together under specific conditions to fulfill relevant requirements.
The ability of hardware and software components to converse with each other is called compatibility. Hence, when installing a program, care must be taken to make sure that the program is compatible with all existing hardware and software already installed on a computer.
Ability of two or more coating components to mix with each other in a wet or dry state to form a homogeneous composition without specific interactions. Compatibility of the binder with other components (additives, other resins, solvents etc.) is considered a major principle for formulating stable, quality paints.
the ability of two or more systems or components to perform their required functions while sharing the same hardware or software environment [ IEEE 90].
The ability of two or more materials to exist in close and permanent association for an indefinite period with no adverse effect of one on the other.
Suitable, capable of coexistence in harmony. [D02490] RMW The characteristic or ability of system s to coexist and function in the same environment without mutual interference. [D02491] PMDT
The ability of two different types of plasmid to coexist in the same cell.
The ability of two or more substances to mix without objectionable changes in their physical or chemical properties.
The ability to mix with or adhere properly to other coatings without detriment.
A measure of the ability of two or more systems (or system components) to exchange information and use the information that has been exchanged. Same as Interoperability.
Test to be made to validate the appropriate ratio between "juice/AC material used". Duration: 2 months.
The ability to connect different computer systems or media so that they can work together.
"Compatibility" of MRF means that the fluid does not chemically react with other materials in the metal removal process.
The ability for data, programs (software) and equipment (hardware) to run and/or work together. This allows for the individual components to be put together to form a system.
The ability of one piece of equipment to interface and function with another.
Ability of two or more materials to mix with each other without separation or to adhere properly to other surfaces without detriment.
The ability of a material to become or remain homogenous before, during or after cure.
the ability of two computer systems to exchange data.
refers to the combining or mixing of one or more materials without counteraction or the changing of their usual or predicted effects. There are two types of compatibility when dealing with pesticides; namely, physical and chemical. Physical compatibility is when there is an effect caused by the combination of materials that makes the material objectionable in the sprayer or duster. Chemical compatibility is when the materials are combined they become less effective than the originals.
The relationship between the strains in a deforming body so that no holes appear and no material is destroyed.
A property which describes the affinity of a polymeric material and an additive. The amount of compatibility is generally linked to the similarity of the physio-chemical properties of the polymer and additive. In case there is no compatibility, the additive will tend to migrate to the
The matching of protective chemical clothing to the hazardous material involved to provide the best protection for the worker. The ability of two materials to be safely brought together during storage or spill.
Term used in relation to the non-reactivity of filter materials with the substance to be filtered. Chemical compatibility is used to describe the resistance of the materials of construction to degradation by a solution that is filtered.
A term referring to the ability to work with cross devices or systems without modification. In web design, this often refers to cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility - the importance of a website being viewable and functional on a variety of browsers and, at a minimum, on both Windows and Mac operating systems. Because of inconsistent browser functionality and standards support, creating a cross-browser compatible site is often a frustrating and time-consuming process.
