German term

Tagenspunkt

German to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng carbonation of liquids
"Zudem sollen die verlängerten Längsachsen der n Gaskanäle vorzugsweise um 360°/n auseinanderliegende Tagenspunkte (d.h. Berührungspunkte mit der imaginären Zylinderfläche) aufweisen"
There is an explanation "contact points with the imaginary cylinder surface"; but what is the origin of this probably invented word? tagen and punkt do not seem to match.
Any ideas on how to express this term of Tagenspunkt?
Proposed translations (English)
