TS 6137

TS 6137 is a terminology standard that brings together English-Turkish terms for ship deck machinery, along with their explanations and, where available, symbols. Standards of this type help keep technical drawings, maintenance documents, operating instructions, and shipyard usage aligned on the same vocabulary. Deck machinery is a broad shipboard equipment category associated with cargo handling, line handling, and other mechanical functions on deck.

Why deck machinery terminology matters

In marine practice, clear terminology is important when referring to equipment such as winches, windlasses, capstans, bitts, and related deck fittings. Consistent naming supports communication between engineers, maintenance crews, operators, and translators, reducing ambiguity in technical documentation. A terminology standard is primarily about defining and organising names and concepts, rather than prescribing how a machine must be designed or tested.

What this standard covers

• English-Turkish terms
• Explanations of the terms
• Symbols where provided
• Concepts related to ship deck machinery

This listing is equivalent to ISO 3828:1984 and has been withdrawn. In practical technical use, a glossary standard like this serves as a reference point for cataloguing, documentation, and translation work. Its scope here is limited to terminology content; it does not imply a specific test method or performance requirement for deck machinery equipment.
