PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique to reduce or eliminate adverse effects resulting from movement of fluid during transport.SOLUTION: Provided is a stabilizer disc for liquid that reduces or prevents the formation of foam on an upper surface of the liquid. The stabilizer disc has a width and a height in which the width is greater than the height. The stabilizer disc further has a surface roughness in which an average roughness centerline is within a range of surface roughness (i.e., surface finish) values of 0.76-1.1 μm, 1.2-1.7 μm, 2.7-5.6 μm, 4.8-6.5 μm, or 8.0-12.1 μm. Furthermore, a plurality of stabilizer discs may be used to cover 33-70% of the surface area of the fluid. Also provided is a method for reducing the formation of foam on liquid within a container during transport and/or storage.SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】運搬中に流体の移動によるもたらされる悪影響を低減または排除する技術を提供する【解決手段】液体の上面における泡の形成を軽減または阻止する、液体の安定化器ディスク。前記安定化器ディスクは、幅が高さより広い、幅及び高さを有し、さらに、安定化器ディスクは、平均粗さの中心線は０．７６〜１．１μｍ、１．２〜１．７μｍ、２．７〜５．６μｍ、４．８〜６．５μｍ又は８．０〜１２．１μｍの表面粗さ（すなわち、表面仕上げ）値の範囲内の表面粗さを備え、さらに、複数の安定化器ディスクが、流体の上面面積の３３〜７０％を覆うのに使用されてよい。運搬及び／又は保管中に、容器内で液体上の泡の形成を軽減する方法。【選択図】なし
