streaming potential difference (streaming potential)

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.S06050
The potential difference E st or E at zero current caused by the flow of liquid under a pressure gradient through a membrane, plug or capillary. Identical electrodes must be used on both sides of the membrane, plug, etc. E is positive if the higher potential is on the high pressure side.
