H. Huxley Physiography vi. 95 Much may be learnt about winds by studying the isobaric lines. 1882 Standard 26 Dec. 7/4 The daily isobaric charts will receive greatly increased attention. 1883 A. Buchan in Encycl. Brit. XVI. 139 Isobaric maps may be considered as furnishing the key to the more important questions of meteorological inquiry. b. Occurring at or pertaining to a constant pressure. ΘΚΠ the world > matter > gas > air > [adjective] > under pressure > relating to constant pressure isopiestic1873 isobaric1903 1903 A. Ogg tr. Planck Treat. Thermodynamics i. i. 7 (heading) Behaviour under constant pressure (isopiestic or isobaric changes). 1933 D. J. Martin Introd. Thermodynamics for Chemists xiii. 315 The isobaric heat of adsorption corresponds to the heat of a reaction in a condensed system, the amount adsorbed changes while the pressure remains practically constant. 1937 P. S. Epstein Textbk. Thermodynamics iii. 46 The heat function acquires a particular importance in the so-called isobaric process, i.e. a process which takes place without change of pressure. 1966 R. Joel Basic Engin. Thermodynamics i. 80 The pressure remains constant throughout the process. It is often referred to as an isobaric or isopiestic process. 2. Physics. Of, pertaining to, or being isobars (sense 2); isobaric spin = isospin n. Const. with.

Soddy in Trans. Chem. Soc. 115 23 We have to take into account in our analysis of matter, not only the heterobaric heterotopes before recognised, but also heterobaric and isobaric isotopes and isobaric heterotopes or isobares. 1933 F. W. Aston Mass-spectra & Isotopes xii. 158 Spectra were obtained which showed four strong isotopes and two very weak ones, one of which is isobaric with W186. 1948 S. Glasstone Textbk. Physical Chem. (ed. 2) ii. 171 With the development of the study of artificial radioactivity it has become apparent that there are more than seventy pairs of such isobaric isotopes, now known as isomeric nuclei. 1953 D. R. Inglis in Rev. Mod. Physics XXV. 395/2 One finds the states listed according to the usual quantum numbers L and S of the (LS)-coupling scheme and also according to the isobaric spin quantum number T (or isotopic spin as it has been less aptly called since it was named long ago by Wigner, who agrees to this renaming of his child). 1971 Physics Bull. Mar. 137/1 Isobaric spin was first introduced into nuclear interactions by Heisenberg purely as a mathematical convenience. 3. Medicine. Of, pertaining to, or designating a solution for spinal anæsthesia having the same density as the cerebro-spinal fluid. ΘΚΠ the world > health and disease > healing > medicines or physic > medicines for specific purpose > anaesthetic > [adjective] > types of hyperbaric1930 hypobaric1930 isobaric1930 1930 W. H. Jones in Brit. Jrnl. Anæsthesia VII. 110 I shall use the terms hyper-, iso- and hypo-baric, to describe solutions which have specific gravities greater than, equal to, or less than that of the cerebro-spinal fluid. 1946 J. L. Southworth et al. Pitkin's Conduction Anesthesia xvii. 761/2 The anesthetist should know in advance whether the anesthetic solution is hypobaric, hyperbaric, or isobaric, so that the posture of the patient can be regulated accordingly. 1947 J. Adriani Techniques & Procedures Anesthesia v. 222 A 2 ½% solution of procaine in distilled water is nearly isobaric. 1962 J. Adriani Chem. & Physics Anaesthesia (ed. 2) xxxi. 653/1 The results obtained with isobaric techniques are unpredictable and variable. 1971 P. C. Lund Princ. & Pract. Spinal Anesthesia vii. 371 Isobaric solutions have not been popular..because of the difficulty of achieving predictable levels of anesthesia. 1971 P. C. Lund Princ. & Pract. Spinal Anesthesia vii. 371 An adaptation of isobaric spinal anesthesia for anorectal surgery was introduced by Jacoby et al. in 1965. B. n. = isobar n. 1b.

W. Zemansky Heat & Thermodynamics iv. 56 The series of short isobarics and isovolumics from i to f and the continuous curve from i to f represent other possibilities.
