Hi,
"la figure 2b représente le schéma d’un montage utilisé pour la synthèse de nanotubes de carbone en continu sur fibres. Dans ce montage, le ferrocène est utilisé en mélange avec le xylène. Le mélange ferrocène-xylène est introduit via un système d’injection. Les différentes parties de ce montage sont :
1 représente la bobine de fibres commerciale,
2 représente la zone de circulation dans laquelle les fibres circulent pouvant faire jusqu’à 4 aller-retour ou plus, "
Please help
thank you

: I think cycle sounds like a good option here, actually. Agree about the category fields... and yet the strange thing is that these settings appear to have been imposed by one of the moderators! Go figure...

: This sounds like English: "back and forth" and "backwards and forwards" in this context don't.

back and forth/roundtrip
aller-retour in daily life is a roundtrip or return (ticket).
The French text is incorrect, it should be: 4 aller-retours because it is a noun and plural.
...dans laquelle les fibres circulent pouvant faire jusqu’à 4 aller-retour[s] ou plus => in which the fibers are circulating and can go back and forth 4 times or more/can make 4 or more roundtrips
