Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Sperrmaße
I am sorry, but I have very little context. This is from an internal status report on projects involving(heat treatment / hardening) furnaces & furnace systems.

Projekt Werk-ABC:
Wegen fehlender Angaben von Fa. X (Sperrmaße, Anschlußmaß, ...) noch keine Aktivitäten seitens ABC.
Fa. X übergibt:
-Sperrmaße, Auflagefläche (Ölbad),
-Anschlußmaße

Are these just limiting dimensions of some sort?
TIA, Beth

footprint dimensions
Explanation:
Your guess is what I would say. ABC needs to know the area that will be claimed by company X when it installs its equipment so that ABC can plan for its own installation. It might be MORE than just the footprint, though, if X's equipment has a moving arm or some such.

See the link for something like this.
