Thanks....
It's being used in the description of a metal tube - do you have any idea what it would mean in those terms? Thanks again |

If It's not a triangle we need context
As Jack pointed out your best bet is to provide us with some context. The pythagorean Theorem is a very well known mathematical equation but it is generally used in the context of angles and i don't see how it would apply to somehting that has round form. If you can provide us with some context.

As described before, they are calling for a metal protection tube and they list the following
Pitagoras, plain end, 12mm ID x 16mm OD x 25mm long (tubo de proteccion) |

Get a visual reference
 They are probably refering to the angle of the tube that is 90 degrees. However, it seems that your best bet is to have a visual refernce of teh tube in order to find the best terms to translate. |

Pitagoras
Hi Elektra,
Learning is a never ending task... "Mullita" must be the Spanish name for that material, then. Good luck! Jack |
