Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Combined cycle power plant - list of tools
French term or phrase: peigne gaz conique
This cryptic item appears in a list of tools for a combined cycle power plant, in amongst things like angle grinders and boxes of drill bits. Any idea what this might be?
