Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Inspection
Swedish term or phrase: moment
A special context for "moment". The closest thing I could find was "electrical dipole moment" but that may not be correct.

On a checklist of steps in the inspection of the construction of an electrical facility, one of the steps to check is if:

"Anslutningar utförda med moment"

"Connections done with moments" doesn't ring quite true with me. Any ideas?

neutral  Stefan A. M. Adamek: Trovärdigt - om nu anslutningarna skall dras åt med en angiven specifikation; t.ex. ''Anslutning xx skall säkras (dragas åt) med 30 nm''

  -> Thank you very much!
neutral  Fredrik Nowacki: Jag skulle stryka "wrench". Att det bara står "moment" i källtexten kan vara för att man vill signifiera vilka fysiska krafter som verkar i anslutningen, inte vilket verktyg som ska användas för att uppnå detta.

  -> Hmm, I would not.
