Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Diesel technology | | English term or phrase: pit depth | | In order to evaluate new cylinder designs and materials, it was necessary to develop a tool to estimate cavitation damage... () ... They used an empirical approach to establish the relationship between pit depth and the corresponding hydrodynamic load. |

| | profondeur du piquage | Explanation:
Cavitation is the damage caused when the pressure in a liquid is made so low that it starts to boil (e.g against a ship's propeller). For some reason the bubbles damage the surface of the metal causing holes called "pitting". I think that this is what we are talking about here.

I don't think that "fosse" would be used in this context by a French engineer, but I may be wrong hence the low confidence level... |

ou profondeur des fosses, qui arrive plus souvent au contexte des dommages de cavitation à cause des charges hydrodynamiques
Voyez: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/french/engineer/facts/03-050.htm
Example sentence(s):- Nombre de tours 1450 min-1 Profondeur de fosse jusqu'à 3,5 m Ouverture de fosse minimum: 60 x 60 cm Volume de livraison standard MEX 450 G ...
- PROFONDEUR DE FOSSE 700 mm. PROFONDEUR DE FOSSE 700 mm. PROFONDEUR DE FOSSE 380 mm.
