Finnish term
(säiliön) läpivienti
Finnish to English
Other
General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I recently asked about this sentence:
"Säiliön kannelle asennetun pumpun imulähtö on tehtävä letkulla tai teräsputkella jolloin säiliön läpiviennissä on käytettävä joustavaa ja vesitiivistä läpivientielementtiä."
I am still stuck on the word "läpivienti" here.
If "imulähtö" means "suction outlet" (as stated in the last thread), and "läpivienti" is a different part of the apparatus, then it seems to me that it would be confusing to use "outlet" as a translation of both.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

First of all, I find the term 'imulähtö' somewhat ambiguous. The way I visualise this construction, 'imulähtö' is actually the inlet of a pipe through which a suction pump sucks a substance from the tank. In other words, the author here uses the word 'lähtö' in 'imulähtö' from the perspective of a substance leaving ('lähteä') the tank due to the action of the suction pump.
This exactly the opposite from the usual meaning of 'lähtö' in engineering, 'output'.
I am fairly sure that a substance enters into a suction pump via the 'imulähtö', be it a hose or a steel pipe. I would probably consider using 'suction inlet' as the translation for 'imulähtö'.
'Läpivienti' here refers to a penetration on the tank wall through which this hose or pipe goes.
So, when you have a pump mounted on top of a tank that sucks a substance from the tank by means of a hose or pipe, you need a flexible and waterproof penetration, such as a gasket element trough which the pipe enters the tank.

Or, you could use 'penetration assembly'.
