etc.
a native english speaker may come up with a proper expression, but I'd
better not change this key once again.
Why not, if it is better? After all the values are being considered for
re-organisation? I don't understand the reluctance particularly with the
present low usage of some 400 items?
I too am not comfortable with 'substance' ... transports, carries,
transmits, bears are possibilities... but I'm still thinking about it. I
think 'bears' is best at the moment as that fits the 'substance=cables'
which the others are not so well suited.
Oh.. 'multiphase' is a mixture of gas, fuel and water as it comes out
of some well heads
if this is the proper term used for pipelines, then this would be the
right one,
yes, "multiphase" is a term used in the oil&gas industry for exactly this,
