English term

gastronorm

English to Arabic Science Science (general) measures
capacity = 6 x 1/1 gastronorm (h=40 mm)

searching the term in dictionaries and webs, the only meaning I found was related to catering, and pans and containers type. In my context, however, it's a measure unit. Can anybody tell me measure unit for what? What is it in Arabic? What's its equivalant to other units for example?

TYA!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Absolutely helpful neuneutek :) Thanks :) and Yes Nesrin you're right :)
Nesrin Jun 20, 2005:
Yes, I agree with Fuad's answer 100% - but my suggestion wasn't completely out of line, as I also mentioned that I believe it's not a measuring unit as such but a way of expressing how many containers fit in a given unit.Anyway, you made the right choice!

Actually Nesrin I found it about containers, but as I said in my question, the meaning I need is using gastronorm as a measuring unit. Thanks :)

According to the following document:

http://www.cesa.org.uk/assets/downloads/ Microwave_Ovens_-_How_To_buy_Guide.doc

"The oven cavity size on a commercial microwave is usually based around the gastronorm system, making it easier to accommodate industry standard sized food dishes.

Most commercial microwave ovens have a cavity space of ½ gastronorm, but they are also available in 2/3 gastronorm and full-size gastronorm."

So it is a measuring unit for the capacity of ovens and cooking implements.

Gastronorm containers are stainless steel food containers, so you don't need to translate it. (see http://www.victoronline.co.uk/products/hotcupboard/gastronor...

I tried searching for "capacity" and "gastronorm", and the search results pointed me to sites like this one: http://www.bkideas.com/uk/waterless_deli_cases.htm - it means that these food display units have the capacity to accommodate a certain number of Gastronorm containers of a certain size (I can't really tell in your case: I think it's 6 containers, height: 40 mm)

Gastronorm (GN) is a not really a unit but A NUMBER. It describes a fixed commonly used number (something like the PI value in mathematics) It is A measurement of AREA not of volume. if 1/1 it equals 530x325mm but of course you may have fractions and multiples of the number as 2/1 or 1/3... etc... like 1 Pi or 2 PIs or 1/3 PI in mathematics.

This unit is used to describe the SURFACE are when it is important such as the surface area of pans and containers.

TO describe the volume of containers it's multilplied by THE HEIGHT OR DEPTH OF THE CONTAINER as in your case...

so 6 X 1/1 GN = a container of surface area (of it base measuring standarg gastronorm 530x325mm) and with depth 6 mm or 6h in your case. The unit or the number to be more precise is غاسترونورم
