thank you thank you everybody very much for your research and contributions
Yvonne Gallagher Jan 26, 2020:
@ Asker Not one of my fields. However, only 63 Ghits for this, all basically referring to 1 company so may be specific terminology to that company. I suggest if you can get no advice from the source author that you translate word-for-word ("superimposed" could mean "overlaid" but the latter has other meanings too) That would be preferable to making guesses as to the meaning.

containers that could bear/ tolerate excessive amount of steam pressure

Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : This wouldn't translate the source term, nor is it even plausible in the context given. 'Superimposed' has a special meaning here, but it is not 'excess pressure'

could you explain the meaning?
agree Margareta Craiu : Containers with superimposed steam= Containers with overlaid steam

Company that sells level measuring equipment. Have to confess no idea what superimposed steam is or means.
Hope you can find further info on this site
Peer comments on this reference comment:

agree Björn Vrooman : Thanks for the link. You're better off translating this from French (the German manual isn't any better). The FR doc says "(avec) prise de pression," for which I found this: https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/pressure tap My French is rusty, tho.

Good to hear that this is of some use. Looked at proposed answers and still no idea what overlaid steam is or does.
