-'''Splay''' is a physiological term that refers to the difference between urine threshold (the amount of a substance required in the [[kidney]]s before it appears in the [[urine]]) and saturation, or T<sub>M</sub>; in this instance, saturation refers to an exhausted supply of renal reabsorption carriers. In simpler terms, splay is the concentration difference between a substance's maximum renal reabsorption vs. appearance in the urine. Splay is usually used in reference to glucose; other substances, such as phosphate, have virtually no splay at all.
-Splay is also a term used with injection molded plastics:
-off-colored streaking that occurs when moisture is caught in the material feed, or if the material degrades during processing.  If cold material impacts the surface from filling at a high rate of speed, jetting may appear, which looks very similar to splay.
-Splay (castle architecture): Chamfer or sloping face, typically at the bottom of a wall or tower to serve three purposes: 1) strengthen the base courses of a structure, 2) present an angled face to hinder the approach of siege equipment that benefit from face-contact with the wall (ex: ram, pick, or tower), 3) to deflect projectiles dropped from the wall top horizontally into attacking infantry.
