French term

Tissage chaîne et trame

French to English Tech/Engineering Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) Technical specification
This is taken from the technical specifications for a fire hose (for an airport crashtender). I understand it to mean "warp and weft weave" (or something like that), which would make this particular hose not very waterproof... I suspect I've misunderstood.

An answer to Tony's query Medieval reavers who rove rarp and reft were unfortunately afflicted with rhotacism and, unable to pwonounce the name of their own pwofession, called it weaving and said they wove warp and weft.

Waterproofing This is the reinforcing "gaine" that protects the hose from mechanical damage. It's the élastomère de synthèse that provides the waterproofing. This has made me realise I should check my own bicycle tyres.
David Swain (asker) Oct 3, 2012:
Thanks Tony. Your mention of tyres made me think back to a few weeks ago and changing the tyres on a bike that must date from the early 80s at least - it had what I now know to be cross-ply tyres.

Selected

Woven with 100% synthetic warp and weft

I think you need to keep the whole phrase together in order to get the word order right.

No, it wouldn't be leaky, as this is only the reinforcing structure used for mechanical strength; your text goes on to explain that the hose is made by coating this inside and out. Think of your (ancient!) cross-ply tyres...

Thanks, Salih!
agree B D Finch : Though "woven" could still be omitted.//Yes, that might be even better. I did wonder whether the wording of the source was to indicate that it was not woven as a tube (rather than warp and weft), though that seems unlikely.

Thanks, B! Yes — though actually, I'd almost prefer to keep 'woven' and lose the other 2.

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks. I agree with the suggestion that "warp and weft" could probably be left out (although I didn't do it in the text I submitted) - this text was poorly written throughout and there were many changes I would have made to the ST if I had been its editor."
