Italian term

termostato [special usage??] URGENTISSIMO!!

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng product testing [containers such as bottles etc.]
Hi Friends,

is there ANY way "termostato" can mean an oven/furnace, "stufa" type heating device instead of what we all know it to mean, i.e. a gizmo to make something happen at a certain temp?

Sorry if this is a weird question, but it simply does not fit in the text at all, and either the author made a mistake or there is something neither the translator nor I are seeing ...

MTIA!! This is REALLY URGENT!

it will not help you ... You will see that the sentence will not help you. Here it goes, notes to procedural criteria:

"SOLO VTR, SU CAMPIONI DI ARCHIVIO PRODOTTO FINITO IMBOTTIGLIATO E TAPPATO;TUTTI I PARAMETRI PREVISTI SONO ESEGUITI SU CAMPIONE TEST,MENTRE L'ANALISI ORGANOLETTICA DOCUMENTATA SU M 136 DEVE ESSERE ESEGUITA ANCHE SUI CAMPIONI TERMOCONDIZIONATI(IN TERMOSTATO E IN FRIGORIFERO)"

The actual parameter is:
"ESAME ORGANOLETTICO IN PARALLELO (CAMPIONE TEST, FRIGO E STUFA)"

And now, I want the answer!! :)))
Elena Ghetti Feb 11, 2004:
no, but inside a furnace there can be ways of measuring temperature, pls let us have the sentence...
yes, we do need the sentence, unless it's one of those lists.... :-)
Russell Jones Feb 11, 2004:
Couldn't you give us the sentence please?
Gian Feb 11, 2004:
Why don't you write down the sentence? Thermostat is a thermostat... a device swirching on and off to control the temperature

pyrostat ?

Termostato per alte temperature.
It's a guess, but I was considering the fact you said 'testing containers' maybe testing the containers' heat resistance.

More hints on the subject?

Let meknow. Hope it's helping

Comment: "Thanks very much, Giovanni, I decided to go with Elena's as being more specific and also the thermostatic chamber got many more google hits than the thermoconditioning unit ... shame one can't split! Thanks again Dee"

nota

La frase, come avevo chiesto, ha aiutato molto; a parte l'improprietà del linguaggio, dice che i campioni devono essere termocondizionati e poi dice con una camera fredda (frigorifero, la cui temperatura è controllata da un termostato) ed un'altra camera che erroneamente chiamano "termostato" e che potrebbe essere ad una costante temperatura, ad es. di 18-20 °C (anch'essa controllata da termostato).
Camera termostatica, come suggerito da Elena, mi sembra molto corretto.
