Tech/Engineering - Science (general) / thermogravimetry
French term or phrase: têtes
From a document describing thermogravimetric devices and thermoscales.

"En matière de thermogravimétrie, Société X s'appuie sur la technologie de Cahn qui comme Société Y, bénéficie d'une bonne image auprès des laboratoires qui utilisent les têtes Cahn pour la mettre au point des prototypes répondant à leur besoins spécifiques."

Now I know Cahn is a brand name, but google throws up no hits for "têtes Cahn" and the website for Company X also provides no clues
