screw-type bulkhead, threaded bulkhead Explanation: What did you decide for your culasse à collier a while back? I proposed "bulkhead" then, Michael proposed "cylinder head". Or did you come up with something else. Have you determined what the function of these things is? http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/mechanics_mech_e... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2009-09-24 07:36:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looks as if your culasse might be a "pig launcher" (shades of Monty Python ...!) if used for pipeline cleaning. http://www.petroprema.com/garederacleurs.html See page 8 here (non copy-pastable) for "pig launchers" of different types https://www.hdc.ca/product_samples/PigGS.pdf This is accomplished by inserting the pig into a 'pig launcher' - a funnel shaped Y section in the pipeline. The launcher is then closed and the pressure of the product in the pipeline is used to push it along down the pipe until it reaches the receiving trap - the 'pig catcher'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging However, you also have "end closure" for "culasse" here (Multilingual Dictionary of the Gas Industry) : http://books.google.com/books?id=XJ-iM0QH-pgC&pg=PA450&lpg=P... Then I rediscvered this: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/french_to_english/engineering:_ind... where I seem to have come to the conclusion that it's a pig launcher. Possibly also a catcher, no? But given the "évent" type in particular, and your comment below about welding, I suspect they are in fact blanking plates/bulkheads in this instance at least. |
