Portuguese term or phrase: acetonagem
Num manual de procedimento pra cheiar cilindros de acetileno usam o termo "acetonagem", mas eu não tenho podido encontrar uma tradução aceitável. Por exemplo, esta oração está no texto original: "Verificar se há super-acetonagem no cilindro" Agradeço a ajuda que alguém me possa dar e caso alguém tenha uma opção no inglês, também serve. Muito obrigado.

excess acetone
Explanation:
Actually, the term needed is "super-acetonagem", which is presumably a fancier way to say "excesso de acetona", or "excess acetone". For the phrase in question,

Check to see if there is excess acetone in the cylinder

If we had been given the proper context, at aminimu, adjoining sentences in the original Portuguese, we might be able to propose a better transaltion solution.

Incidentally, it's "encher", not "cheiar"

Notes to answerer
Asker: Dear Coolbrowne, Thanks a lot for your prompt and accurate reply! Please, excuse my silly mistake with the term "encher", it was thoughtless, and I still lack confidence in writing directly in Portuguese. Thanks again!
