German term or phrase: Rundprofil
In a patent relating to Ankerbolzen/Befestigungen:
"Die geringfügige Verminderung der Zugfestigkeit durch die mittel- bis starkwandige Kreisringfläche bei Rundprofilen ist vertretbar bzw. bei gleichem Gewicht des Befestigungsmittels einfact kompensierbar."

Any ideas for RUNDPROFIL in this context?

Thanks very much!

Not 'exactly' but certainly close enough for patent work.

pipe


Explanation:
My first idea was "round bar", but as a "mittel- bis starkwandige Kreisringfläche" is mentioned, "Rundprofile" means "pipes" in this context.

disagree  H. G.: I don't think these pics show the type of Rundprofile mentioned in the patent concerned.

tubular section


Explanation:
Yes, "pipe" is not good. I suggest tubular section instead. As we have a "Kreisringfläche", the Rundprofil concerned must be of tubular shape.

agree  Marcus Malabad: but still you haven't proven that the translation of Rundprofil is 'tubular section', evidence?
30 mins

agree  Rolf Buesken (X): It is self-evident from 'Kreisringflaeche'.
