| | English translation:precision bore dilatometer | Explanation:
Rodage, when it has not been the "running in" of motor vehicles, is the "honing" of the cylinder bore in the factory (which has replaced the same action being carried out by gentle running of the engine on the road), so carries notions of "bore" and "precision". I hence believe it may be a "precision bore dilatometer" as referenced below, not necessarily of Pyrex. But who knows?
The steady hum of water baths with their rows of partially submerged DILATOMETERS has been a central feature of my entire career in the fats and oils industry. These old friends are silent now, as our company has converted entirely from SFI (Solid Fat Index) to SFC (Solid Fat Content) methodology. We are not alone. Several other companies have already done the same thing. The AOCS will soon relegate the SFI method to surplus status and replace it with SFC Method Cd 16b-93.
The history of the SFI method is intertwined with the development and growth of the hydrogenation process. At the turn of the 19th century, there was a serious shortage of solid fat for candles and SOAP. This led to intense research into ways to harden liquid oils, including plentiful supplies of cottonseed oil, which could be substituted for lard and tallow

In a move to a uniform methodology, the current SFI method Cd 10-57 was adopted by the AOCS in 1957. It has been revised twice. The method requires CALIBRATED PYREX DILATOMETERS constructed to exacting specifications, each with a bulb-type holder to hold the fat sample that is exposed to several temperatures.

Dilatometer for the determination of the solid fat index (an empirical measure of the solid fat content) of shortenings, margarine oils, and other fats with a solid index of 50 or less at 10°C. Results are expressed as melting dilation in mL/kg of fat. Method is described in A.O.C.S. Method Cd. 10-57. Stem is made from PRECISION-BORE TUBING and overall accuracy of graduations is ±0.005 mL. Includes a 329105-0000 solid (closed) stopper and one 675300-0014 polyacetal clamp. Calibration certificate is supplied with 329325-0000

Your subsequent Q. re étanchéité seems to suggest that rodage is used here in its "standard" meaning of "ground joint" in laboratory glassware. So you have a dilatometer (quite possibly a precision-bore Pyrex one!) with a ground joint.
