Tech/Engineering - Geology / Concerns Seismology
French term or phrase: bandes démultiplexées
The full sentence from a service contract for Seismological work related to the oil industry is:

Si l’entrepreneur es capable de fournir au client les résultats du traitement, l’entrepreneur fournira au client les *** bandes démultiplexées *** correspondant aux bandes de terrain originales perdues ou endommagées.
It may help to mention that throughout the contract it refers to the ‘bandes magnétiques du client’ and sometimes ‘des bandes magnétiques de champ originales’

Example sentence(s):
  • The seismic data are available as plastic or paper sections, horizontal scale 20 traces/in. vertical scale 1.25 in/sec, as digital magnetic stack tapes, or as digital magnetic demultiplexed tapes.
  • The raw seismic data tapes are required in order to prepare and analyze the velocity trends at the proposed location. Seismic gather tapes, trace sequential demultiplexed tapes or field tapes, prints of sections and support data:
