Spanish term or phrase: gamas
Hi Proz,
This is about a maintenance program for furnaces. The sentence goes:
El mantenimiento se realiza mediante gamas.
I have looked everywhere and can only find the word ranges - is there some range testing procedure??
Thanks

Explanation:
Actually, it's still "ranges". In Spanish you have "gamas de mantenimiento" such as "preventivo", "predictivo", "general" and the like. These would all have different maintenance contracts.

range of procedures


Explanation:
"Maintenance is realized through a range of procedures". I'm pretty sure, but can't be positive without looking at the context, or what follows the sentence in question. In the maintenance of anything there are set procedures you must follow. I'm assuming that what follows is somehow a list of what must be done? Sorry I can't be of better help, just encouragement.
