TS 2088

TS 2088 is a multilingual nomenclature standard for continuous handling equipment. It organizes the terms used for principal appliances and spare parts in continuous conveying systems, giving engineers, designers, maintenance teams and documentation specialists a common technical vocabulary across Turkish, English, French and German.

Why a controlled vocabulary matters in continuous handling

Continuous handling equipment includes systems such as conveyors and related mechanisms that move materials in a steady flow rather than in discrete loads. In this field, names must be consistent because the same component can appear in drawings, spare-parts lists, manuals and procurement documents. A nomenclature standard reduces ambiguity by aligning the terminology used for the main devices and their associated parts.

What this standard covers

Based on the supplied scope, TS 2088 provides terminology for continuous handling equipment, including the basic terms and the names of the principal appliances, in Turkish, English, French and German. Its purpose is lexical and documentary: it supports clear identification and translation of equipment terms, rather than specifying machine design, operating performance or testing requirements.

• Covers the nomenclature of principal appliances and spare parts.
• Aligns Turkish, English, French and German terminology.
• Supports consistent technical communication in conveying applications.
• Catalogued as equivalent to ISO 2148:1974.
