solid/ WF / FH

Spanish translation: sólidos

Bus/Financial - Metallurgy / Casting
English term or phrase: solid/ WF / FH
I need help with the word "solid" in this sentence:

"Sells of solid Jul-2007 -June 2009" : 700 pieces/mth

and in

"Performance of (NAME OF COMPANY): WF 37% FH 10% Solid 39%"

The document is the summary of a meeting and it's full of abbreviations, etc. (hard to decipher!) . The meeting was between a big company that makes turning products and a local distributor. The document was written by the member of the big company and NAME OF COMPANY refers to the local distributor. I am sorry not to be able to provide more context but this is all I have.

I guess "solid" as well as WF and FH refer to types of products -perhaps WF and FH are common abbreviations but have not found them so far.


Many thanks!

Explanation:
Sé que en energía y petróleo Solids significa sólidos, sin embargo no hay mucho contexto en el párrafo.


Mi sugerencia seria sacar una lista de los acrónimos que no encuentras y enviarla al cliente solicitando que te indiquen el significado en inglés, es mejor preguntar que dejarlos sin significado o darle un significado equivocado y la mayoría de clientes en lugar de molestarse agradecen el profesionalismo demostrado.

Muchas gracias. Eso que sugieres es lo que habría hecho en circunstancias normales, pero este trabajo es algo especial, ya que el cliente no es quien redactó el documento, y por lo tanto no lo sabrá.
!Gracias!
