All,
I am translating an installation and operating manual for process equipment, specifically a hydrolysis reactor.
Under the heading “Flanged and Bolted Joints”, the text reads as following:
“… Based on above, it is strongly recommended to recheck all bolted connections prior to start-up (i.e., all flanged joints that must not be disassembled for field reasons, for tightening)
Nozzle ***MKD***. S5A/B Blind flange, Gaskets and fasteners shall be supplied loose.
Both Gaskets of girth flanges are suitable for operation as clearly written on the tags attached by wire to one flange bolt.”
I assume that somewhere between “Nozzle MKD” and “Blind flange” a comma is missing. This makes it difficult to determine whether “.S5A/B” belongs to “MKD” or not.
So far, I have found the following references:
http://forums.coade.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showfl...
https://www.scribd.com/document/514216054/PKC-NRL-ME-TD-001-...
The latter also mentions “Manhole MKD” and “Inspection Hatch MKD”.
Source language is English from India
Target language is Austrian German
Any comments highly appreciated.

Explanation:
Given your additional context, I think "nozzle marked" or nozzle marked S5A/B looks right.

Wie oben gezeigt, kann MKD für alles Mögliche stehen, angefangen von Firmenkurznamen und Typenbezeichnungen, geografinschen Bezeichnungen wie "Mekong Delta", Mazedonien bis hin zu "marked".
Da der Begriff ohne Rückfrage beim Kunden nicht zu klären ist, würde ich den Kunden um Rat fragen. Am besten erstmal stehen lassen und ggf. einen Kommentar anfügen.

Die Zeichnung unter dem Link https://www.scribd.com/document/514216054/PKC-NRL-ME-TD-001-... ist auch für mich nur teilweise und in niedriger Auflösung sichtbar.
Ich glaube entziffern zu können:
'SHELL MANHOLE MKD - 'M-1' - 01 No REQD'
'INSPECTION HATCH MKD - 'IH' - 01 No REQD'
'ROOF MANHOLE MKD - 'M-2' - 01 No REQD'
AIR VENT AT FIXED ROOF TOP, MKD "V" - 1 No REQU
Das würde gut zu Kims Vermutung mit “marked” passen.
Originaltitel:PKC-NRL-ME-TD-001_4_R7-(DETAIL OF NOZZLES, MANHOLES & PERFORATED PIPE)-Model
https://eng.proz.com/kudoz/english-to-german/chemistry-chem-...
In diesem Fall sicherlich eine Typenbezeichnung.
