German term or phrase: Benetzungsfahrt
The text is about a testing system for wheel rims and wheelsets. The sentence here is "Der Messprozess besteht aus der Benetzungsfahrt, der Transferkorrektur (Transferermittlung) und der eigentlichen Messdatenaufzeichnung." Does anyone have any idea what a "Benetzungsfahrt" could be?

It also comes up again here: "Bei der Benetzungsfahrt wird der Radsatz während einer Radumdrehung mit dem Koppelmittel benetzt."
