Parachor is a quantity defined according to the formula:

P = γ1/4 M / d

where γ1/4 is the fourth root of surface tension, M is the molar mass, and d is the density. Parachor has a volume multiplier and is therefore extensible from components to mixtures. Parachor "has been used in solving various structural problems".
