Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Functional Analysis
French term or phrase: valeur standard
Hello,
I'm translating a functional analysis doc relating to the introductiion of new shredding machinery. One of the column headings describing different aspects of the machinery is:
Spécifications, valeur standard....
Etre capable de détruire tous les déchets de production et de respecter la capacité de traitement de la presse (etc)

Standard functions perhaps?
Any help gratefully received,

normal value
Explanation:
This would indicate the normal criteria the machinery should meet. The value could be higher or lower, but there wouldn't seem to be much sense in it defaulting to a value that might be untrue.

neutral  JAN SNAUWAERT: "normal value" would be applicable in medecine, for instance; for engineering "default value" is what is always used.///Ok, I am not yet convinced that "standard" (in French) is the same as "normal" (French), but perhaps that's more a philosph. question.
