gas pipeline
This comes from specifications for pigging a pipeline to check for anomalies, in this case a gas pipeline (in France).
When examining a pipeline there are thresholds of background noise and the word "coups" gets used a lot, but I'm not sure what it really refers to. I think it's probably to do with the test instruments and the signals they send/receive rather than someone hammering on the pipe! Do we have any pigging specialists who can point me to the right terminology for this please?
"[...] le seuil de notation des indications exprimé en nombre de COUPS ou en énergie des signaux ultrasonores ET en termes de profondeur minimale exprimée en millimètres sur la base de l’équivalence nombre de COUPS/profondeur en millimètres déterminée empiriquement lors d’un pull test"
"[...] amplitude maximale du signal exprimée en nombre de coups"
"Le bruit de fond exprimé en nombre de coups,"
"Le seuil de détection exprimé en nombre de coups,"
(and many others)
Thanks for saving my bacon!

Hello
An educated guess but then found in the reference given below, which says:
> MESURER
v. tr.
Chercher à connaître, ou Déterminer une quantité par le moyen d'une mesure. Mesurer un espace, un champ. Mesurer au mètre, au litre. Mesurer du blé, du vin, du bois. Mesurer la distance d'un lieu à un autre. Mesurer une colonne.
Par extension, Mesurer son élan. Mesurer son ***coup***
Definitely needs a confirmation or two before you go with this.

Les pistons les plus connus sont les multiéléments ultrasonores piézo-électriques utilisés en pulse-écho, notamment utilisés dans le monde pétrolier et dans l'eau mais ceux-ci nécessitent un couplant (fluide liquide).
