I think this term is French - and is the company you're translating for Belgian?

If you search the EU IATE database for the word duse, the mechanical engineering term that comes up is bean for duse.

Asker: beans? Your link is a dead-end... At the moment leaning towards German: nozzle.

Asker: Ah, so that's a bean.

Asker: Interesting conundrum; is it the French or the German word I'm looking for! Company is Frisian, so German is more likely. I'll have to ask them. Thanks.

nozzles


Explanation:
Wikipaedia gives:"A nozzle is a mechanical device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe via an orifice" which fits the context very well.

Example sentence(s):
  • A nozzle is a mechanical device designed to control the direction or characteristics of a fluid flow as it exits (or enters) an enclosed chamber or pipe via an orifice

Asker: Ta, but I've since found an image of a duse (which is copy-protected), and it's not a nozzle. More like some kind of pipe ring with a two perforated rims. Anyway the jobs out of my hand now!
