English

Subject field(s)
  • Household Cleaning and Maintenance
  • Electrical Domestic Appliances
CONT

Rinse and hold : This cycle rinses only... used for partial loads and holds the dishes until [the owner has] a full load to wash.

OBS

rinse-and-hold cycle: not to be confused with the dishwasher "pre-rinse cycle" that rinses the dishes before the "wash cycle."

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de nettoyage et d'entretien (Arts ménagers)
  • Appareillage électrique domestique
CONT

Un cycle de rinçage préalable à l’eau non chauffée et sans produit de lavage évite que la saleté ne sèche sur la vaisselle en cas de lavage ultérieur.

Record 2 2010-04-12

English

Subject field(s)
  • Household Cleaning and Maintenance
CONT

Full Cycle : For complete washing and drying of an average soiled load. This cycle provides two pre-rinses, a main wash, three after rinses and dry.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de nettoyage et d'entretien (Arts ménagers)
DEF

Cycle consistant en un lavage et un séchage complets.

CONT

En cas d'arrêt prolongé, faire effectuer à la machine un cycle complet sans vaisselle, mais avec les produits.

Record 3 2006-11-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Geology
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
DEF

Total sediment in a sample of water.

CONT

The sediment load transported past a given channel section can be considered to consist of wash load, suspended sediment load and bed load.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Géologie
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
CONT

La charge solide transportée au-delà d'un endroit donné le long d'un canal est composée d'une charge de ruissellement, d'une charge solide en suspension et d'un charriage de fond.

Record 4 1997-02-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

That part of the suspended load which is composed of particle sizes smaller than those found in appreciable quantities in the bed material. It is in near-permanent suspension and, therefore, is transported through the stream without deposition.

CONT

The discharge of the wash load through a reach depends only on the rate with which these particles become available in the catchment and not on the transport capacity of flow. It is generally expressed in mass or volume per unit of time.

OBS

This type of material is represented in the bed material only in very small amounts....

OBS

wash load : standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Partie des sédiments en suspension qui se compose de particules plus petites que celles que l'on trouve en quantité appréciable dans les matériaux du lit. Elle se trouve pratiquement en suspension constante et est entraînée sur tout le cours d'eau, sans dépôt.

CONT

Le débit du «wash load» dans un bief dépend seulement du taux de formation de ces particules dans la zone de captation des eaux et non de la capacité de transport de l'écoulement. Le «wash load» s'exprime généralement en masse ou en volume par unité de temps.

OBS

Ce type de matériau est présent en très faible proportion dans les matériaux du lit du canal.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Hidrología e hidrografía
  • Medición y análisis (Ciencias)
DEF

Material relativamente fino en suspensión casi permanente en un sistema fluvial, que es transportado enteramente a través del sistema sin depositarse.

Record 5 1996-09-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Hydrology and Hydrography
  • Scientific Measurements and Analyses
DEF

The sum of the bed material load and the wash load

OBS

Term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Hydrologie et hydrographie
  • Mesures et analyse (Sciences)
DEF

Somme des matériaux charriés et du «wash load».

OBS

Terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

Record 6 1989-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mineral Processing (Metallurgy)
  • Quarrying Tools and Machinery
OBS

appareil pour le traitement du sable.

OBS

Fine material : All sediment finer than 0. 062 millimeter; also called wash load.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Minéralurgie (Métallurgie)
  • Outillage et machinerie (Carrières)
OBS

laveur: appareil pour nettoyer mécaniquement certains produits (sables aurifères, minerais) ou fruits de la terre (...)

Record 7 1987-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Household Cleaning and Maintenance
  • Laundry Work
CONT

Sand and lint are removed during the wash cycle and the spin cycle. At the same time, the spin cycle acts like a centrifuge to remove most of the water from the load.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Appareils de nettoyage et d'entretien (Arts ménagers)
  • Blanchissage
CONT

Le sable et la charpie sont éliminés durant le cycle de lavage et d'essorage. Ensuite, le cycle d'essorage utilise la force centrifuge pour retirer presque toute l'eau du linge.
