pushed past

English to French Other Engineering (general)
Hi all,

Agricultural machinery context...

When greasing the machine, enough grease should be added to flush out any dirt that has pushed past the seals.

Merci

passer au travers

Normalement, To push past something veut juste dire dépasser quelque chose. Mais dans votre cas, comme ce sont des joints, je dirais plutôt passer au travers.

any dirt that has pushed past the seals.
=> toute saleté ayant passé au travers des joints

disagree Tony M : The 'seals' are dirt-tight, so it can't pass through them: it can get in round them

agree Schtroumpf : Je serais plus nuancée que Tony ici. Un joint dans l'agriculture prend tellement de coups que son étanchéité aux impuretés n'est peut-être pas absolue !

disagree Daryo : "pushed past" doesn't imply that anything was broken/cut/damaged, just that that some types of seals are not perfect.

toute la poussière qui a réussi à s'infiltrer derrière les joints d'étanchéité

agree Tony M : Though note possibly not merely 'dust', but other small particulate matter

détritus? graines? débris = too big .... It's mostly very small particles that will manage to squeeze themselves between a rotating axe and a seal. Thanks!
disagree GILLES MEUNIER : il n'y a aucune mention de s'infiltrer derrière dans past, et c'est très lourd votre expression en français. On a l'impression que la poussière est maligne et qu'elle est parvenue à s'infiltrer...ce qui frise l'ineptie....
