peer agreement (net): +3to blind with blanking plates / to remove blanking plates (but see my notes) Explanation: I have come up against "platinage" in a similar context. It consists in "blinding" (blanking/blocking/shutting/sealing off) parts of circuits by means of plates, during maintenance or testing. In my opinion, "platiner" means to blank/seal off by means of a blanking/blinding plate or plates (or blind[s]), and "déplatiner" means to remove the blanking/blinding plate(s). If it's absolutely necessary to translate platiner/déplatiner by single words in English, I'd say blinding/unblinding. Or maybe, in your quoted phrases, you could say respectively "by blinding with blanking plates" and "remove the blanking plates". Related terms: blanking plate, blanking flange, blinding plate, paddle blind, blind flange, blank flange. In any case, it seems highly unlikely to me that "platiner/déplatiner" means to platinum plate/unplate. Okay, you could plate things with platinum ("platiner au niveau des paliers"), but you don't remove platinum plating "just like that". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-13 11:24:55 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- OR: \"to blank off\" / \"to remove blanking plates\" |
