English to French Tech/Engineering Engineering: Industrial INSULATION PROCEDURE FOR EQUIPMENT AND PIPING
Insulation thickness for heat conservation & **personal protection**

Je ne suis pas sur de "personal" ici. S'agit-il de protection personnelle, individuelle, du personnel ?

Poorly written text I totally agree with you, the text is poorly written and some sentences are hard to understand, that's the problem. Thank you for your answer.
Tony M Aug 25, 2015:
Flawed source text? The more I see of your source text, the more I get the impression it was written by a non-native speaker of EN.

There is nothing in the context here to suggest this is anything to do with PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) — rather, it seems they are really talking about 'personnel protection' — i.e. protecting people in general from injury.

I think you need to translate it in that sense...

Selected

protection de /des personnes

I am convinced this is what the source text actually means — the confusion of 'personal' with 'personnel' is a very common error, even among native speakers!

I am assuming this must be some form of s/s outer cladding covering the heat insulation on whatever machinery this is; the environment obviosuly requires soemthing tougher and/or more corrosion resistant than the more usual aluminium.
