Spanish term or phrase: ramal de 8’’
Buenas,

¿Alguien sabe a que se refiere " cuando habla de las medidas de gasoductos?

Ej: en este ramal de 8’’ se ubica la posición de X

y otro

Al estar situado en el extremo de un ramal de 68 km en 20”, es necesario mantener presiones por encima de 55 bar.


Muchas gracias.

8" branch line
Explanation:
Dice el glosario inglés-español del Colegio de Ingenieros petroleros de México:
Branch line = ramal.-- Línea, generalmente tubería, que está conectada y diverge de otra línea.

Lo de ocho pulgadas se refiere al diámetro. Puedes mencionarlo o no, porque se sobreentiende.

Es decir, se sobreentiende que es el diámetro.

8" stretch / line


Explanation:
"ramal" usually refers to a stretch between two points or a separate line. I assume this is what is referred to in terms of km. 8" would be diameter.
