Dutch term

Laat de leiding verder van druk.

Dutch to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng Chemical plant piping system testing
There have been a series of purges, pressurizations, and de-pressuirizations in the piping system.
I think this means "Further release the pressure in the line."
Proposed translations (English)
4 release line pressure further; further release line pressure
3 Allow the line to remain pressure-free thereafter.

Lianne van de Ven Oct 10, 2012:
with Tineke Can be read both ways. For glossary purposes, we should only focus on one word anyway. Which one would that be?
Tineke Van Beukering Oct 10, 2012:
more context may be required Hi I think it could be explained in two different ways, depending on the exact context. If the last action before this statement was depressurization, I'd agree with Carmen's suggestion. However, if the line is still under pressure after the last action described prior to this statement, it should probably interpreted as "release more pressure off the line".
Carmen Lawrence Oct 10, 2012:
Well, that is a quite normal thing to say in (Netherlands) Dutch, I think; in any case it means the same. Keep the line pressure free.
Lianne van de Ven Oct 10, 2012:
Sounds like Belgian Dutch (French influence) too, leiding van druk ipv druk van leiding: "van druk laten" van de leiding
Max Nuijens Oct 10, 2012:
That's it Yes, that is about it. Looks like everyday speech, written down. "verminder de druk verder; laat de druk van de ketel" may have played a role in the formation of this sentence.

release line pressure further; further release line pressure

One of these options I would say, depending on context. If the line is not completely depressurised, the first would be applicable. The second option is just as about as vague on the meaning of 'verder' as the source text itself. If 'verder' relates to operational sequence and not to pressure (which implies making the line completely pressure-free), you could add a comma to make that clearer: "Further, release line pressure". If the document is a patent application, the second option (without a comma) would cover the source better than the first, since it conveys the same double meaning.

PS: By the way, in my opinion this is not kosher Northern Dutch ;-)

Allow the line to remain pressure-free thereafter.

There may be nicer ways to say this, but in essence, it means to let the line be without pressure after whatever you did before.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Lianne van de Ven : The source quite clearly says to release "more" (or remaining) pressure, rather than to leave it pressure-free (after whatever was done before)//Oh, now I see what you mean. Tineke is right, can be read both ways. But we should only ask/enter 1 word, btw.
