Corrosion scales formed on iron pipe surfaces are an important factor defining water quality in drinking water distribution systems, since they would release contaminants and cause water discoloration at transient hydrodynamic regimes.

La corrosion constitue un problème courant des réseaux de distribution d'eau potable et des systèmes de plomberie au Canada. La corrosion est la détérioration d'un matériau, habituellement un métal, due à une réaction de celui-ci avec son environnement. Dans les réseaux de distribution d'eau potable, les tuyaux (comme les entrées de service en plomb) et les raccords métalliques font partie des matériaux qui peuvent être sujets à la corrosion interne et qui peuvent relarguer des concentrations croissantes de contaminants. La corrosion tend à provoquer une augmentation de la concentration de nombreux métaux (par exemple, des sous-produits de la corrosion) dans l'eau du robinet des consommateurs. Les dépôts de corrosion dans les tuyaux constituent également un réservoir important d'une grande variété de contaminants, dont certains sont préoccupants pour la santé. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20de%20corrosion

Tube diffusers are usually installed in pairs either by a pipe clamp fixed on a round tube serving as a distribution pipe or by a double nipple inserted into a rectangular tube. When air is supplied, it is directed through the head of the support tube under the membrane. Through the slots of the membrane, the air is smoothly dispersed into the wastewater. 3, record 2, English, - tubular%20diffuser

It is more likely to be used where the need for extremely high reliability(such as offshore) or resistance to abrasion(such pulling pipe through a bore) warrants the high cost.

Les dictionnaires techniques des termes pétroliers donnent le choix, pour le terme anglais «jacket», entre les équivalents français suivants : enveloppe, chemise, jaquette, manchon. «Chemise» a, dans le domaine technique, le sens de revêtement de protection (tout comme «enveloppe», ce dernier terme étant plus général). À partir de la description de l'objet donnée dans le contexte anglais, on comprend qu'il s'agit d'un «sheath», donc d'une enveloppe de protection. L'expression «enveloppe de protection extérieure» est attestée, d'où notre proposition (voir le contexte qui suit). Les termes «chemise jaune» et «enveloppe de protection extérieure jaune» (ou «enveloppe extérieure jaune», tout court) constituent à notre avis de bonnes solutions de traduction du terme anglais «yellow jacket». 2, record 8, French, - chemise%20jaune

Record number: 10, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Subsurface drip irrigation is a variation of traditional drip irrigation where the tubing and emitters are buried beneath the soil surface, rather than laid on the ground or suspended from wires. The products being used today in subsurface drip irrigation come in three basic configurations : hard hose, drip tape, and porous tubing.... Porous pipe products emit water all along the length of the tubing. There are literally thousands of places per meter where water weeps out of the tubing. This design has shown resistance to plugging by roots. The disadvantage is its flow path is by far the smallest of the three configurations. This increases the likelihood of plugging by fine particles. It typically has the largest coefficient of manufacturing variability of the three configurations, which can be a major detriment because it prevents high distribution uniformities and high efficiencies. 5, record 10, English, - porous%20tube

Water pipe flushing is performed on distribution systems to remove any accumulated sediments or other impurities which have been deposited in the pipe. Water pipe flushing also improves the flow of water through the distribution system, allowing it to work at capacity. Flushing is performed by isolating sections of the distribution system and opening flushing valves or more commonly fire hydrants to cause a large volume of flow to pass through the isolated pipeline and suspend the settled sediment. 3, record 13, English, - water%20pipe%20flushing
