Science - Geology / wells/ oil drilling/sands | | German term or phrase: Polyptichiten | I have a series of questions that all stem from my lack of knowledge of this well/drill hole diagram. There is also fairly little word context to pull from so it might be somewhat of a stretch.
Heading: Verrohrung
it's subcategories (in a measurement table) are as follows:
Wandstoesse (previous entry)
Guete
Gewindeverbinder
Later, there are three grouped words in one category (still the measurement section):
Oberes Lager
Unteres Lager
geschlitzt
On the diagram itself, some words pointing out different sections of depth are as follows:
Alb
Apt
Polyptichiten (not Polyptychon)
For this entry, please help me identify Polyptichiten (last section). |

| Grading comment Thank you both for your helpful answers. For future reference, I am a new translator and it's not that I did not search for this though I do not always know where to research for words whose meanings I have no idea of in a subject also new to me, so I don't necessarily appreciate commentary which implies I put forth no effort. Again, thank you to the answerers.
