One Question on FLUOROGOLD® Slide Bearings

This is evidently a proprietary product, so there may be some screwy sales lingo involved. (Which may be made worse if they are trying to mirror this or that bureaucratic gobbledygook.)

It may be desirable to allow adjacent structures to move relative to each other, for instance to avoid transmitting seismic deflections from one building section to another. In this respect, a sliding bearing could release one structure/zone/building from being shoved around by an adjacent item. This can be done by such techniques as swivel pipe joints, expansion loops, and the like. The relative movements can be accommodated by roller-type pipe hangers, slider pads, etc.

The phrase "seismic separation" seems sufficient on its own. The word "positive" doesn't add much, but "effective" might make a bit of sense. "Proactive" is a marketing-hype bullshit-bingo word.

I sympathize fully with your efforts to try to explain strange stuff in one language into yet another language, perhaps equally strange....

All 5 statements say the same thing. They are redundant.

The function of the bearing is: To accommodate movement under load with minimal friction. The rest say the same thing.

release bearing system allows free movement between two elements of the system.

I believe that you could remove the word "release" from the statement and just say bearing system and convey the same meaning.

Instead of: To provide positive seismic separations.

I'd say: To provide positive seismic isolation.

Tornado is right. This is marketing hype. You have a low friction bearing system that provides maximum seismic isolation.

Good luck.

Thanks you two on this. Actually i am considering to drop "relase" coz as you have said, it is a weak word.
