Portuguese term

malha em anel

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci fire safety
In a fire prevention/safety standard:

"Devem existir válvulas de bloqueio localizadas de tal forma que pelo menos dois lados de uma malha em anel de rede de hidrantes que envolva a área de armazenamento possam ficar em operação, no caso de rompimento ou bloqueio de um dos outros dois lados."

I am stuck with the "uma malha em anel" part

That’s true, this expression “malha em anel” sounds funny indeed. I wonder if they used a different word “malha” here not to confuse with “rede” but they meant the same thing, one within the other. Then it could be something like “malha em anel NA rede de hidrantes”. Anyway, your suggestion sounds good.
Jack Martin (asker) Sep 23, 2019:
Thanks Cristina, that is interesting, but doesn't help with the English! Also it shows Rede em anel and Rede em malha, but not "malha em anel"
I'm thinking something like "the ring main supply for the network of hydrants..."

loop grid

I think the relevant language includes 'loop' and 'grid', but you can word it any way that makes sense.
