French term

liseret

French to English Science Materials (Plastics, Ceramics, etc.) duct/cable laying
Sometimes "liseré"
- Ces fourreaux peuvent être des tubes PVC à tulipe ou des tubes PEHD à ***liserets rouges pour les fourreaux des câbles de puissance et de terre, à liserets verts pour les fourreaux des câbles de télécommunications. -
I think I know what they are (longitudinal striping colour code?), but liserets can also be trim, circular etc.
Proposed translations (English)
4 +1 line, stripe
4 band
3 +1 edging

line, stripe

I think it's just one of those cases where the French have and use a fancy word where we use a plainornery one.

agree Catharine Cellier-Smart : Definitely. My company used to make "tubes à liseret" and I can confirm that it is a horizontal stripe. In spoken language most French will just say "tube à bande XXX", where XXX stands for the colour.

"Other problems with the improper curing of insulators has seen the green band in green and yellow “earth” cable becoming detached and spiralling away from the main cable – a far from ideal circumstance that leaves a safety conductor incorrectly marked."

Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Given that these are sleeves, i.e. relatively short lengths of tubing, I think 'edging' round each end would make more sense; though I admit I don't have specific knowledge of this term.
