SUMMARY

The term "req'd" in Mechanics texts is an abbreviation for "required." This clarification was confirmed by multiple forum participants, emphasizing that it is a standard abbreviation rather than a technical term specific to mechanics. The discussion arose in the context of translating a text about air curtains, where understanding this abbreviation was crucial for accurate translation. Participants agreed that "req'd" is widely recognized across various technical fields.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of technical abbreviations in engineering contexts
  • Familiarity with translation practices for technical documents
  • Basic knowledge of mechanics terminology
  • Experience with air curtain systems and their specifications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research common technical abbreviations used in engineering documentation
  • Explore best practices for translating technical texts, focusing on mechanical engineering
  • Learn about air curtain systems and their operational specifications
  • Investigate resources for understanding mechanics terminology and its applications
USEFUL FOR

Translators working with technical documents, mechanical engineers, and anyone involved in the specification of air curtain systems will benefit from this discussion.

What does "req´d" mean in Mechanics texts?

Hello!
I am translating a text about an air curtain into Spanish and I need to know the meaning of "req´d" in this classification please. I give some context:

Mark:
Model Number:
Number Req´d: "Req´d" is a term used in mechanics for "required"?
Overall length
Weight:
Etc.

Thank you very much for the help, it is urgent!

I googled "acronyms" and it seems that req'd does indeed stand for required.
 


Thank you! I did search on Google too and I found it as "required" but as I don´t know anything about mechanics... lol

Thanks for the help!
 


It doesn't have anything to do with mechanics - it's more or less a standard abbreviation for required.
 


Great! Thank you Mark for your reply =)
