français term

air comprimé non sec de travail

français vers anglais Technique / Génie Mécanique / génie mécanique Compressed air supply, description
Services that are being made available to a contractor working on site include:

"réseau d'air comprimé non sec de travail entre 5 et 7 bars"

Now clearly this is ordinary compressed air (i.e. has not been specially dried) intended for general-purpose use with tools etc.

But I'd just like to check the standard way of expressing this please — my own researches have not so far thrown up anything clear-cut and authoritative, and my deadline is looming rapidly!

non dry compressed air

The air straight from the compressor as such ,without drying is fed to the compressed air network and its pressure is 5 -7 bar
