JUST GUESSING Explanation: Sezionatore di linea is an electrical term and it's an "isolator" or "isolating switch". I find no trace of a "disco a otto". "a otto" is a "figure 8" and "cieco", of course is "blind" in all context. My advice is to try and check it out with your client. I always do if I have doubt. They are generally pleased to do so and it means you show them you really are doing your best. Regards Angela Marolli |

spectacle blind Explanation: Hi again This type of pipeline device is called a spectacle blind, I suppose because of its shape (see web page). It presumably constitutes the "sezionatore di linea", which, in your context, is a "pipeline isolator" or words to that effect. Cheers Derek Reference: http://www.swecofab.com/spectacle/general.htm |
