French term

TAC

French to English Tech/Engineering
In a water testing report concerning Dureté totale (TH), Alcalinité, the abbreviation TAC appears in association with TAC labo and TAC in situ.

Any ideas?

Thanks very much!

Discussion

Hazel Lumb Sep 10, 2015:
Is complete alkalinity titration abbreviated to CAT in English? I Googled pH and CAT but couldn't come up with anything that isn't about the pH of cat food!

Oddie me fait remarquer qu\'il s\'agit d\'une méthode en particulier. Il serait plus logique d\'utiliser \"total alkalinity\" également attesté par GDT.
