capillarity correction
The deduction of a specific angular value from the apparent angle, as indicated by the plane of the etch line in an acid-survey bottle, to correct for capillarity effects and thereby determine the true inclination angle of a borehole. Proper values to be deducted from the apparent angles read on acid bottles differing in size may be determined by referring to charts, graphs, or tables prepared for that purpose.
