Context:
Les non conformités des dispositifs à jets sont les suivantes:
pas de contrôle strict de la vitesse d’impact ;
spectre hétérogranulaire de particules ;
fragmentation en cours d’essai ;
modification de l’acuité des particules en cours de recyclage.
Any comments on hetero-granular particle spectrum?
TIA Chris.

disparate particle size spectrum
I think 'spectrum' is fine in this sort of context, but I'd be very wary of hetero-granular.

: the term heterogranular exists : http://www.mindat.org/glossary/heterogranular

But I never said it DIDN'T exist — I was just saying I don't think it is advisable HERE!

Thanks, C! I think the notion coming from the FR is 'the spectrum of the differing particle sizes', which is why I don't like the use of h-g HERE.

hetero granular spectrum
hetero granular or mixed/miscellaneous/assorted granular spectrum of particles

Didier Fourcot
: Le français source est calqué sur de l'anglais: "acuité", non-conformité sans trait d'union, le rédacteur pensait sans doute "heterogranular" et l'a écrit à la française

: Although I do think that the inclusion of "heterogranular" is pointless when applied to a spectrum or distribution, the word is (commonly) "heterogranular", less commonly "hetero-granular", but never "hetero granular"!

out of range granularity spectrum
the "defect" is in the fact that some particles are too fine or too gross i.e. "out of [the allowed/desirable] range"

strictly speaking:
spectre hétérogranulaire
from a neutral viewpoint would simply mean a spectrum covering a variety of sizes of particles
this being part of a list of non-compliance / non-conformity it implies that the variety of sizes is unwanted / it's another way of saying that particles used should be of the same size or within some narrow range (monogranulaire)
--------------------------------------------------

obviously, this would NOT be a good translation for some other ST where "hétérogranulaire" has no negative connotations - it works ONLY for this ST

Discussion
...that the distribution of particle sizes is too broad for the purpose these particles are needed
