Italian term

camera treccia

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation valves, power stations
In a tender document about valves for power stations.
The only context I have is this:

superficie interna della camera treccia: (radius 1.6)
circolarità camera treccia: 0.1mm

I know it's a part of a valve... but that's all.

packing room

treccia è la baderna (di solito di materiale grafitato) che fa la tenuta. Il premitreccia (gland) fa sì che la tenuta sia efficace.
Ovviamente la treccia deve chiudere uno spazio (room) ma non in maniera eccessiva, dato che ha bisogno di dilatarsi e contrarsi

Packing: The sealing system normally consists of a deformable material such as graphite. It is usually in the form of a split ring. Packing material is compressed to provide an effective pressure seal between the fluid in the valve body and the outside atmosphere. When valves are properly maintained, they should remain in service for many months without gland leakage. It is important not to pack the rings too tight, as the rings are subject to high pressures and temperatures and need some room to expand and contract.
Peer comment(s):

agree Derek Smith : indeed, though I would say packing "chamber" rather than room...
