Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

Introduction

Applications of fine bubble technologies can be found in cleaning, environmental improvement, the food

and drink sector, aeration systems, medicine, water and waste water treatment, as well as agriculture

and aquaculture. Developing appropriate terminology for such diverse technologies is therefore critical

to business trade or product acceptance by consumers.

Fine bubbles can be present in both liquids and solids. Fine bubbles can contain air or another gas. The

bubble can be held in place by surface tension or be surrounded with a coating, e.g. a lipid. Fine bubbles

generated for various applications can vary in size, gas content or bubble coating. The generation

techniques used are also different.

It should be noted that the motion of bubbles in a medium can be determined by buoyancy forces

or randomly and thermally activated processes leading to Brownian motion. For this reason, larger

bubbles can display buoyant behaviour (rise upwards) and smaller bubbles remain in the liquid medium

displaying random motion. This document focuses on the definitions of such entities.
