English term or phrase: WOB (Weight on bit)
Hello, I'm currently working on a technical translation and, though I understand what weight on bit is, I'm not able to find a specifically technical term in French. I was wondering if there was a technical translation for WOB, or if I should just translate it literally.
Thank you for your feedback!
