Analysis of the operating conditions of safety valves
Thread Content
Regarding the analysis of the safety valve’s operating conditions, could everyone help me check my translation? Thank you. Blocked Outlet: The outlet is blocked. Equipment and line work rated to a maximum pressure of 15.9 barg: Equipment and pipelines operate at a maximum pressure of 15.9 barg. “How should “rated to” be understood here?
Rated to a maximum pressure of 15.9 barg: The designed maximum pressure is 15.9 barg
Reference to the translation of “rating”: Rated. This can be understood as the rated value (it can also be interpreted as the design value; see echo’s reply on floor 2); the maximum pressure is 15.9 barg
3. Set the rate for...; determine the fee for... (insurance rates, freight rates). 【Maritime】Determine the class of a ship or its crew. This can be translated as setting at, determining as
My understanding is that it refers to the rated value – in other words, the maximum rated pressure. As for the best way to translate this, it depends on each language’s conventions and usage rules. I hope everyone can offer some guidance
Rated maximum pressure, allowable maximum pressure – I think both are fine~
What this sentence means is that both the equipment and pipelines are designed for a maximum (operating) pressure of 15.9 bar; it should not be interpreted as the design pressure, as the design pressure depends on other factors as well. “Rate” implies a specified amount, but it’s not easy to translate it directly in this context.
