French term or phrase: coupon
Definition given in the document that I am translating:
Partie de tube neuf en remplacement d’un tube endommagé ou corrodé.
The document is about gas pipelines and their maintenance. Faults are repaired by making "coupons". The term is not therefore associated with test coupons.
Maybe "replacement section"?

Reference: Corrosion coupon

Reference information:
COSASCO® corrosion and erosion monitoring coupons are specially made for corrosion and erosion studies and are manufactured to the most demanding standards. Generally, corrosion coupons should be of an alloy the same as, or similar in chemical composition to the pipeline or vessel that is being monitored. RCS will manufacture COSASCO® monitoring coupons in any configuration, and from any material, whether provided by RCS or by the customer. Evaluation of welds can be made by utilizing corrosion monitoring coupons with weld beads applied, or evaluation of scale by use of strip scale coupons. All coupons are certified in writing to show serial numbers, weights (furnished in grams to four decimal points), dimensions, material, and surface finishes.
