French term

couple

French to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci Pressure and Temperature
I'm a bit puzzle with the the word "couples" I don't believe it means torque...in that case is it simply to say (two, the pair) How do you guys read it?

A partir des données fournies, le Fabricant détermine les couples Pressions Maximales Opératoires (PMO) et Températures associées, en conditions normales de service, et définit le couple (TS, PS) dimensionnant et enveloppe des situations de pression et de température (P0, T0) définit pour le réseau étudié.
Proposed translations (English)
1 +8 pairing
4 -1 torque

pairing

Just a guess. Someone who knows better will chime in later. ;-)

Oops: pair of course! :o
Peer comment(s):

agree Marco Solinas : It think this is right: the pressure-temperature pairs. Pair is better than pairing, in my opinion.

torque

I think it is in fact torque.
The way I interpret it: ''starting from the provided (or given)data, the manufacturer determines the related maximum operating pressure (PMO) and temperature under normal operating conditions and defines the design torque....''
Peer comment(s):

disagree Terry Richards : Sorry, not in this context. It's the pair (TS, PS). Temperature and pressure are inter-related so you have to consider them as a pair.

It is not my understanding.couple dimensionnant= design torque
