ball valve Explanation: Use this term if the valve's operation is manual as this type of valve is commonly used when dry powders are mixed in small-scale manufacturing. Of course, a picture is needed to make an exact translation. |

sluice gate Explanation: This is another option I have found, but would need more context to know if it fits: http://www.linguee.com/english-spanish/search?source=auto&qu... This doesn't actually seem likely to me... this option seems to apply to irrigation and I'm not sure what sodium sulfate would have to do with irrigation, but I did find an article that says, "All waters used to irrigate, be they recycled or otherwise, contain in dissolved form various compounds of salt — the familiar sodium chloride and others, such as sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and calcium carbonate." http://www.salinitymanagement.org/Salinity Management Guide/... |
