German term or phrase: Abstand
I am trying to figure out the correlation between the two intervals cited in the following sentence: Im Abstand von höchstens 2,5 m sind jeweils zwei Bandstahlringe 5/ 60 mm mit einem Abstand von 25 cm in der Bewehrung anzuordnen und an diese Ringe entsprechende Bügel d = 16 mm als Abstandhalter anzuschweißen.

Thanks in advance. By the way, context is designing a pile foundation.
Kerim
pitch, distance
Explanation:
two rings each are arranged in a distance of 25cm. Then a space of max. 2.5 m is kept and the next pair ais arranged, again 25cm apart from each other

R 25cm R max. 2.5m R 25cm R

To keep the distance of 25cm, braces with a diameter of 16mm have to be welded.

agree  Tom Funke: Probably correct (the sentence is somewhat indefinite). You might edit this wording just a little.
