This is, I assume, an acronym and probably an English one at that. A description of a device for extracting dust contains a list of parts including:
"Metu koppeling smu Ø100"
This allows a piece of tubing to be clamped to a hood. The company catalogue simply calls the part a "tensioning clamp" but what does "smu" stand for? "Metu" by the way I am assuming is a brand name.

Hi Brian, I have been talking to a builder's merchant who sells these and as far as they are aware it is a product name and has no other meaning, so SMU would be the correct translation.

SMU seems to be Saint-Gobain's name for SML pipes:

As for Metu, yes, I think this is the name of the manufacturer:
