French term or phrase: presse-étoupe
Je ne trouve pas de bonne traduction pour « presse-étoupe » - je crois que c'est quelque chose comme « compression gland » ou un composant de cette pièce, mais ce n'est pas clair dans le document intitulé "NOTICE D’INSTRUCTIONS ET DE MAINTENANCE
Appareillage pour des études expérimentales de formation et de dissociation d’hydrates de gaz." Merci
