calibre

French to English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals Tests on luer lock
Context:
Test fuite au calibre male

Bit confused as to whether it is a 'leakage test with calibrated male' . This is the action to be taken after a non-conform Go/NoGo test.
TIA Chris.

So it's unlikely to be anything to do with calibration. I think it means section.

@ Phil No accents in original doc.
philgoddard Dec 28, 2014:
Could you just confirm where any accents go? The circumflex is missing from mâle, and you're saying "calibrated" for "calibre" - is it "calibré"?
MamaG Dec 28, 2014:
maybe a calibration device of the telescoping sort having a male coupling member at the end, just a quick idea on a swoop of ProZ this morn...
Bashiqa (asker) Dec 28, 2014:
Not sure as the Go/NoGo gauge is just that. A 2 ended plug with slightly different diameters which is in effect a 'calibrated male'. 'Calibre' also occurs in
Calibre dimensionnel du Luer réf. ISO 594/1
so perhaps 'calibre' simply means 'gauge'
philgoddard Dec 28, 2014:
I wonder if it just means the male section of two sections with slightly different diameters or calibres.

Fitting/part or whatever fits the context. Don't know who wrote this doc but it could have been better. Thanks for your input.

Note from asker:
Thank you. Makes sense if the Go/NoGo gauge is non-conform then you can use a calibrated plug, although I only ever used a Go/NoGo gauge when working in the aero industry. It's simple to use and there is no arguing.
