Dutch term or phrase: Laat de leiding verder van druk.
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."

release line pressure further; further release line pressure
Explanation:
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.


Explanation:
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.

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.
