Please help translate the following terms related to water pumps and motors: Thank you! MARK EQUIP NO SEAL CAPACITY MDP S.N P.O SG/VIS GPM ALLOY BASE TMP FRAME DUTY TYPE BRGS(DRIVE\OPP) GUAR MIN EFF ENCL INS CLASS S.F HERTZ NEMA DESIGN Last edited by Xiangjiang Ke on 2009-3-23 14:11]
INSL CLASS insulation rating: INSL = INSULATION SEAL – sealing
Try translating a few: MARK – trademark; EQUIP NO – device number; SEAL – seal; CAPACITY – capacity; TYPE – type; GUAR MIN EFF – minimum guaranteed efficiency value
S.N Serial Number P.O Order Number
capacity Capacity. Last edited by shuotie on 2009-3-23 15:09.]
For Capacity pumps, it refers to flow rate; for motors, it refers to capacity. GPM stands for gallons per minute. Alloy refers to the material used. TMP denotes temperature. Duty refers to the operating mode. BRGS relates to bearings. ENCL indicates the protection rating. INSL class specifies the insulation level. S.F is the service factor. Hertz is a unit of frequency. NEMA is the American Electrical Manufacturers Association. This post was last edited by niuky on 2009-3-23 at 15:54.]
For “insulation class”, both “thermal insulation rating” and “insulation grade” are correct translations; it mainly depends on the context in which it is used. If the target is a chemical processing equipment, such as a water pump, it is necessary to provide heat tracing for the pump when the ambient temperature is below zero; in this case, it should be translated as insulation thickness ； If it refers to a motor, it should naturally be translated as insulation class, haha.
EQUIP NO —— Equipment number SEAL —— Sealing CAPACITY —— Capacity, capability TMP —— Temperature TYPE —— Type INS CLASS —— Insulation class
Thank you so much! Especially that guy on the 9th floor!
MARK: Symbol, such as the pipe end “C” or “D””； EQUIP NO.: Equipment identification number. SEAL: Sealing surface; for example, RF. CAPACITY: Flow rate, which can have different meanings depending on the context. MDP: Minimum or maximum design pressure? I’m not sure. S.N.: Serial number. P.O.: Purchase order. SG/VIS: Specific Gravity/Viscosity – specific gravity/viscosity. GPM: Gallons per minute. ALLOY: Alloy. BASE: Base material, substrate, or foundation. TMP: Temperature. FRAME: Frame or skeleton. DUTY: Responsibilities or tasks. TYPE: Type. …………………………………………………… Could the original poster translate these terms by themselves first, leaving those that are difficult to translate for everyone else?
