http://www.ancoferwaldram.com/fr/Secteur_industrie LRS and TÜV are certifications, but as BDF says - no reason to put anything else but RLS in EN.

@kashew Very useful reference, which supports "Lloyds Register of Shipping" interpretation. However, as we cannot be sure whether it is that or "long rolled steel" and as both are English, the safest thing to do is simply to leave the acronym, assuming that it is an English acronym that will be understood by the reader, who will have more context.

@Philgoddard I did say that a colleague on another site suggested sth and that the "job-owner" travelled and is not reachable to clarify the situation, please.

In fact the company actually produces sheet metal in different forms.

Robert Miki (asker) May 22, 2015:

Yeah Finch, "long rolled steel" sounds good here. The guy did a 3-month internship at ALUCAM/SOCATRAL, a company that produces zinc and aluminium sheets.

@Philgoddard. Yes I did.

kashew May 22, 2015:

Other possibilities: Low Resistance State, or Lloyds Register of Shipping (LRS) steel grade.
Phil's Long Rolled Steel seems a good bet.

philgoddard May 22, 2015:

Robert Please tell us if you post questions in more than one place. http://www.translatorscafe.com/tcterms/ES/thQuestion.aspx?id...
And yes, I think long rolled steel is a strong possibility.

B D Finch May 22, 2015:

LRS Rather unlikely to be "longs rails soudés" unless this is specifically about railways. More likely to mean "long rolled steel".

philgoddard May 22, 2015:

How do you know? You said this was something a colleague had suggested but the author was not contactable. The reason I ask is that "long welded rails" doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the sentence.

Robert Miki (asker) May 22, 2015:

Nope, it's an abbreviation: "longs rails soudés" or (long welded rails). It 's found in the title of client's end-of-course project in engineering « Amélioration de la tenue d’épaisseur LRS du laminage en tandem »

philgoddard May 22, 2015:

Could it be "lors"?

Robert Miki (asker) May 22, 2015:

A colleague suggested "long rails soudés". But the job-owner travelled and is not reachable to clarify the situation.

Tony M May 22, 2015:

@ Asker Do you already know what LRS stands for? If so, please share, it might help.
