Berstdehnung = expansion on bursting Explanation: The above is according to the Woerterbuch der industriellen Technik. There was nothing however that matched your query exactly. Hope this helps a little. |

expansion of circumference on bursting Explanation: I would confirm that Richard Ernst's Woerterbuch der industriellen Technik lists Berstdehnung as expansion on bursting, I would interpret the -umfangsdehnung as expansion of circumference, hence use the term above. |

burst circumference Explanation: A lot depends on what HCW is! If it is a circumference itself, then "burst circumference" would be correct here. If it is some kind of elasticity parameter, then you need to adjust things somewhat. It would in any case be good to avoid the clumsy "burst circumference expansion". [email protected] |

The circumference expansion in case of bursting is within the HCW limits Explanation: Working within Ernst's definition, it looks as if HCW is the guideline for acceptable expansion, in case the pipes burst. |
