Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / Wafer fabrication
Swedish term or phrase: Tolk
Wafer production of laser chips.
Crucibles filled with different metals are used for the production process with vaccuum and etching ovens
For one of the metals, chrome, it states:
Krom fylls på innan varje körning. Fyll på så mycket att det inte tar i taket på källan. Använd tolk.

Vilken källa och vad är en tolk i detta sammanhang?

Target audience: Wafer production personell

gauge
Explanation:
See e.g. Engström Svensk-engelsk teknisk ordbok: http://runeberg.org/sventekn/0211.html

Wikipedia explains it in Swedish: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolk_(mätdon)

And I wonder if perhaps "källan" could be the crucible.

agree  Deane Goltermann: My Engströms analogue says *limit* guage, which fits the context better...(haven't had cause to look in that one for quite some time!!) Hah! You're right...had trouble looking in real pages...

  -> Isn't that the line above (in Engström) - toleranstolk - limit gauge?

agree  Michael Ellis: As in Gullberg, which also has toleranstolk = limit gauge.
