Tech/Engineering - Mechanics / Mech Engineering / Compressed air supply, description | | French term or phrase: air comprimé non sec de travail | Services that are being made available to a contractor working on site include:
"réseau d'air comprimé non sec de travail entre 5 et 7 bars"
Now clearly this is ordinary compressed air (i.e. has not been specially dried) intended for general-purpose use with tools etc.
But I'd just like to check the standard way of expressing this please — my own researches have not so far thrown up anything clear-cut and authoritative, and my deadline is looming rapidly! |

Asker: Thanks, Narasimha! I was anxious to get away from a literal rendering, as this does not seem very widely used in the source language
