Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Druckmittler
German term or phrase: quer zur drehrichtung
This text is about Druckmittler or diaphragm seals and more specifically about die Ausfuehrungsqualitaet der Druckmittler.

Die Membranoberflächen und Dichtleistenoberflächen müssen frei sein von Falten, Rissen, Kratzern, Pickel, Anlauffarben und Flecken.
Bei den Materialien Monel, Hastelloy und Tantal gilt bezüglich Falten folgende Spezifikation:
Falten, die quer zur Drehrichtung verlaufen (sternförmiger Verlauf axial) sind generell nicht zugelassen.

My problem is with "Falten, die quer zur Drehrichtung verlaufen".
Could it be wrinkles/creases which run diagonally to the direction of rotation. I've come across the word "transverse" too, but not sure how to fit in in here. Any suggestions?

Danke im voraus!

Hi Finola,

"Falten, die quer zur Drehrichtung verlaufen". I would translate this as: Creases that run across the direction of rotation.
I hope this is helpful?
