étuvage

English translation: processing in an environmental chamber

16:53 Mar 27, 2016
French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Computers: Hardware / Computer cards
French term or phrase: étuvage
The term appear in a very short document consisting of the format of a table whose title is "IMP Tableau suivi d’étuvage des cartes CMS"

The table is empty except for the headings of the various columns: (reference, date, starting time finish time, and temperature).

I found "baking," but I am not confident.

All suggestions are welcome.

English translation:processing in an environmental chamber
Explanation:
Please see glossary entries for 'étuve', in particular my own earlier question.

This is either part of the test / quality assurance procedure — the cards' performance will be tested before and after being heated up in a telmperature-controlled chamber.

Or else it is a kind of 'curing' process as part of the production chain, presumably designed to reveal heat-sensitive faults that might otherwise manifest later in service.

Explanation:
CMS is surface-mounted components, so this is about printed circuit boards. I don't know what the rest of the sentence means, or what IMP stands for, but this appears to be the meaning of "étuvage".

neutral  philgoddard: Maybe, but I've provide a reference and you haven't. You can't just tell us to look it up in the glossary.//"Answerer needs to learn to look things up for themselves" sounds patronizing.

  -> Why not, Phil? I'm sure Asker is more than capable of looking things up for themselves; the original discussion should prove fruitful, informative, and possibly give other avenues for research. Refs. are only worth anything if they are RELEVANT.
