German term

Lötmeter

German to English Tech/Engineering Metallurgy / Casting
Die Lötkolben sind mit einer Spezialbeschichtung ummantelt, die den Kupferkern vor aggressivem Lötwasser und Ablagerungen auf der Oberfläche schützt. Kein Nachfeilen oder Hämmern mehr nötig für 2500 Lötmeter!

With Hazmat If you do a quick search on Lötmeter, you will find lots of references and they all seem to address the seam or joint length that you can solder with this.

@Walter: 2.500 'cause Lam mentioned it in her question. Regards.

Oliver Walter Jul 29, 2009:
Yes That seems right to me - you should post an answer and earn some points (if Christine accepts it). Why 2500? Perhaps that's the expected life of the Lötkolben.
hazmatgerman (X) Jul 29, 2009:
Ich verstehe das als 2.500 lfd. Meter Lötnaht. Also 2,500 m of solder(ing) joint. Gruß

Ich glaube, es gibt kein solches Wort auf Englisch und möchte es wie folgt formulieren:

No need to file and hammer the soldering iron for 2500 meters of used up solder wire.

Ich hoffe es hilft.
Grüße

sorry, the grading window closed on me before I posted my thanks to everyone for the great teamwork efforts!
Peer comment(s):
neutral hazmatgerman (X) : An interpretation as "material used" does not appear likely as the focus is on the tool rather than the consumables. Regards.//But that's what you say "for 2500 meters of used up".

exactly that! It means that the tool does not need any "maintenance" up to a certain point. Like the tires that need to be changed only after some thousands of km. My focus is not on the wire, but on the tool, instead.
Something went wrong...
