German term or phrase: Mantel (eines Zylinders oder Kegelstumpfes)
Mantel als mathematischer Begriff für die Oberflächenberechnung eines Zylinders oder Kegelstumpfes. Der Mantel meint die gesamte Oberfläche, außer der Ober- und Unterfläche. Wir haben gefunden: body surface, outdoor cylinder surface, conical surface (beim Kegelstumpf).

Keiner dieser Vorschläge ist so exakt wie "Mantel" (excludes upper and bottom surfaces)!
