Is there a fluid with very high compressibility at least 3 or 4 times of water and not flammable?

Most fluids are not very compressible at all. I doubt there are any fluids, flammable or not, that are much more compressible than water. Maybe 50% more compressible (at best a factor of 2), but I very much doubt there are fluids that are 3-4 times as compressible as water. Gases on the other hand are very compressible. Solids and liquid not so much.
In general, organic solvents tend to be more compressible than water. See the Web Links for some values and other information. It looks like ethanol is about twice as compressible as water, although it is flammable, and so is carbon disulfide, but that is also flammable.
From the original questioner: According to the CRC Handbook, ethyl ether has a bulk modulus of around 15e-6 per dbar re: water at 4.4 e-6 per dbar; so that is about 4 times but this is both the ether of anesthesia fame as well as volitile and flammible i'm after some 'magic fluid' with even better compressibility (5 to 10 times) and not so dangerous, i guess it doesn't exist! thanks! Reply: You do realize of course that there are many gases that are both compressible and not flammable. Of course much much harder to contain and deal with, but would easily satisfy the other two requirements... just a thought.

One example of a non-flammable fluid with high compressibility is hydraulic oil. It can have compressibility factors 3-4 times higher than water, making it suitable for applications requiring greater compressibility while maintaining safety due to its non-flammable properties.

What volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times?
Shield volcanoes form extensive fluid lava flow that erupts numerous times.
How many times does 16.9 fluid ounces go into 2 liters?
There are approximately 59.15 fluid ounces in 2 liters. To find out how many times 16.9 fluid ounces goes into 2 liters, divide 59.15 by 16.9. It will go into 2 liters approximately 3.5 times.
How many times is pints bigger than fluid ounces?
There are 16 fluid ounces in one pint. Therefore, a pint is 16 times bigger than a fluid ounce.
What is dyanamic pressure?
Dynamic pressure is the force exerted by a fluid in motion, such as air or water, on an object moving through it. It is defined as 0.5 times the fluid density times the flow velocity squared. Dynamic pressure is an important parameter in aerodynamics and fluid dynamics for predicting the forces acting on a moving object.
1.75 liters divided by 16.9 fluid ounces?
To convert liters to fluid ounces, multiply by 33.814. So, 1.75 liters is equal to 59.1775 fluid ounces. Now, divide 59.1775 fluid ounces by 16.9 fluid ounces to get 3.5. Therefore, 1.75 liters is equal to 3.5 times 16.9 fluid ounces.
Got an oil changed and they said i need to Flush transmission fluid on 2003 Toyota Sequoia?
Yes! you should flush your transmission fluid at least two or three times a year or when you chanfe your fluid and filter in the tranny.
What is the front fork fluid capacity for a 2006 Honda CB600F?
Fluid capacity is 447 cc +/- 2.5 cc or 15.1 ounces +/- .08 oz. Pump the fork slowly at least 5 times and make sure the fluid level is 140mm or 5.5 inches from the top. Honda-CB.com
What is the mock number?
The mock number is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics to describe the speed of an object moving through a fluid. It is defined as the ratio of the speed of the object to the speed of sound in the fluid. The mock number helps characterize the compressibility effects of the fluid flow.
When was flammable liquid first used?
The use of flammable liquids dates back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting their use for lighting and heating purposes as early as the Bronze Age. The modern understanding and classification of flammable liquids began to develop in the 19th century with advancements in chemistry and industrial applications.
How much is 7 oz times 12?
7 fluid ounces times 12 equals 84 fluid ounces. 84 fluid ounces is equal to 10 and 1/2 cups.
How can you from your own home change the automatic transmission fluid in a 1996 dodge caravan with out removing anything?
Use a hand pump and pump the fluid out of the transmission through the fill tube. You will only be able to get around 25% of the fluid out but so you will need to repeat this procedure at least 3 more times. When you pump the fluid out, put back exactly the same amount of fluid you removed. Do not overfill. This is the only way to do it without removing something.
