condensible

Able to condense

Condensible describes something capable of being condensed—converted from a gas to a liquid, or compressed into a smaller or denser form.

The term appears mostly in technical contexts: condensible vapors, condensible gases.

Also spelled condensable, with that spelling more common in American usage.
