French term

format

French to English Tech/Engineering Aerospace / Aviation / Space Quality procedure
Il s’agit de contrôler l’épaisseur, la masse surfacique et les caractéristiques mécaniques du panneau sandwich en suivi de fabrication.

Tous les 10 **formats **(numéro de série dont le chiffre unitaire est 1, i;e; N° 1, 11, 21, ...) trois éprouvettes de flexion 610 (SR) x 76 sont découpées dans le **format.**

Dans l’impossibilité de découper des éprouvettes au n° de **format** identifiées 1, 11,
etc ..., les éprouvettes seront découpées au numéro de lot suivant (ex : N° 22).

Les épaisseurs et les masses de ces éprouvettes sont relevées et l’agent du service contrôle procède aux trois essais de flexion.

Les conditions et les moyens d’essais utilisés sont ceux définis par les spécifications AIRBUS. Les essais sont réalisés sur les éprouvettes non vieillies.

I'm not sure how to translate this! Is it just "panel" or is there another specific term?

TIA

cut sheet, sheet

This was on the first page of IATE under "format". So 1 sheet in 10 is used as a sample, which seems logical in aircraft production. I don't think it's 'format' in EN - it does not feel right.

size reference number

As I understand it, the suggested [size ref number] will include several parameters
You can use panel (probably in composite material as in UAV's; here Airbus)
Check SAGEM or EADS sites

That's more comprehensive!
Christian is right! But I think "format" is just a tad better than his "size"
