Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / concrete
French term or phrase: étalomètre
Technical specs of a special concrete.

"Etalement de la matière sans fibres :
Cône ASTM, 0 choc avec étalomètre humide (cm) :
250+25 mm à 3 minutes maximum après levée du cône"

Used, apparently, for measuring how concrete spreads. You can find numerous pictures of this thing (low-tech) by googling. I also found a couple of bilingual patents where the EN uses the FR word. An engineering type person might recognise the term from the photos.
