In English, words that look the same do not always have the same function in a sentence. Only use technical verbs as verbs, not as nouns.


Example:
Non-STE: Give the hole 0.20-inch over-ream.

STE: Ream the hole 0.20 inch larger than the standard.

But you can use the past participle of technical verbs as adjectives. In the same way that you can use the participle form of an approved verb to make an adjective, you can also make adjectives from technical verbs.


Example:

STE: Lubricate the reamed hole.

(The adjective “reamed” is the past participle of the technical verb “ream”. “Reamed hole” is a technical name.)


Words that can be technical verbs and also technical names


The same word can be both a technical verb and a technical name when you can put this word in a technical verb category and also in a technical name category.


Examples in STE:

Make sure that the plate is not damaged.
(“Plate” is a technical name, category 1, names in the official parts information.)
There are two methods to plate the ring nut (2).
(“Plate” is a technical verb, category 1 c), manufacturing processes, attach material.)
