English

Subject field(s)
  • Installation of Electrical Equipment
  • Electrical Wiring (Building Elements)
DEF

Cotton tape impregnated with water-resistant insulating material and an adhesive and used especially to protect, insulate, and support electrical conductors.

DEF

Cotton tape impregnated with a sticky moisture-repelling compound; used chiefly to hold rubber-tape insulation in position over a joint or splice.

OBS

Chatterton’s compound. A composition used for insulating submarine telegraph cables. This compound (which is perhaps somewhat erroneously known as "Chatterton’s compound") is usually composed of gutta percha 3 parts, resin 1 part and Stockholm tar 1 part.

OBS

As per source TLFRA, "chatterton" is an obsolete term in English now replaced by the term "insulating tape."

DEF

Ruban adhésif isolant, enduit d'un mélange de goudron norvégien, de gutta-percha et de résine, servant à isoler les fils électriques, les câbles sous-marins, etc.

DEF

Ruban de coton imprégné d'un mélange isolant composé de goudron, de résine et de gutta-percha, employé par les électriciens pour protéger extérieurement les fils conducteurs.

CONT

Jusqu'à une époque relativement récente, la majorité des installations électriques se faisaient sous baguettes de bois. La liaison entre les conducteurs avait lieu par épissure [...] l'isolation étant assurée par du ruban adhésif textile, connu sous le nom de chatterton. [...] cette technique s'est révélée très défaillante s'agissant de l'isolation, le chatterton vieillissant mal [...] En dépit des progrès faits dans le domaine du ruban adhésif (aujourd'hui en matière plastique), les épissures sont désormais proscrites des installations.

OBS

Chatterton [...] supplanté en anglais par l'appellation populaire «insulating tape».

English

Subject field(s)
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses

CONT

Filter Sampling. Filter material impregnated with reagents for specific gases can be used for atmospheric sampling. One of the more common techniques of this kind is the paper tape sampler. A roll of paper tape is impregnated and dried. The tape is then placed in a mechanical unit which sequences a tape section into position for sampling. After a known volume of air has been drawn through it, the tape is removed and the sample analyzed.

OBS

"tape sampler": Device used for optically measuring particulates in air by capture on a tape filter (Vesilind 1975 225).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Études et analyses environnementales
  • Pollution de l'air
OBS
