Tech/Engineering - Metallurgy / Casting | | Spanish term or phrase: a nada que | Here's the sentence:
"...limite maximo saliendose muchas veces fuera de especificacion **a nada que** la banda central en BL sea mas marcada."
Does this just mean "unless"? Is this by any chance a Chilean expression?
Thanks for any help you can offer! |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseaceavila - Noni: 6:31pm Jan 2, 2008: Any chance of a bit more of the beginning of the sentence? I understand "a nada que" as in "A nada que se mueva el bebé, salta el dispositivo" = the slightest movement on the part of the baby sets the device off
sarahca: 6:35pm Jan 2, 2008: The entire sentence is as follows:
Estas tablas valoran solo la anchura, por lo que al aplicar la valoracion, el 6.1 se convierte en un 7.4, limite maximo salidendose muchas veces fuera de especificacion a nada que la banda central en BL sea mas marcada.
I also have no idea about BL - anybody have a clue?

I seem to be reading this differently...
the sentence so far would read roughly thus: *the slightest increase in marking of the central band (en BL) takes the (?) beyond the maximum specified limit*

Thanks for your reply Sarah. I stick to my reading!
*These tables offer evaluation only of the width, which means that when the valuation is applied, 6.1 becomes 7.4, the maximum limit, and (whatever it is) goes outside specification at the slightest increase in marking of the central band (en BL)*
Now I'll have a go at BL, but could really do with knowing a little more about the field we are in....

BL = boundary layer??? Could this fit. Abbreviations are often used without translating, and English, I suspect, is the language of metallurgy. Here is where my suspicions arose: Metallurgylayer (CMF-BL) differs from the classical Blasius. boundary layer problem of flow past a plate ... the CMF-BL problem, the flow field is steady for a co- ...

Not a v gd reference I know, but something to chew on...and further googling on "Boundary Layer BL" provided plenty of positive response, although in a wide variety of fields.

Explanation:
No es que sea una expresión chilena, lo que pasa es que los redactores muchas veces redactan mal.
Debería ser:
"...limite máximo saliendose muchas veces de la especificacion de modo que la banda central en BL es (o queda) mas marcada."

No idea on what BL could be, sorry!

Asker: Yes, I think you could be right but my brain's unfortunately closed down for 5 minutes. The subject is "speroidized annealing cycle" and within this the reduction of bands of carbides in steel. However, I'm going to post a seperate question for this because it deserves separate points. Thanks for your help!
Asker: :) thanks so much for coming to my rescue! I have now opened a sepate question for this.
