Spanish term

apertura en su generatriz

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Insulation
An insulation material catalogue, this section is on "Coquillas / Pipe insulation

Elementos moldeados de lana de vidrio con forma cilíndrica y estructura concéntrica. ***Llevan practicada una apertura en su generatriz para permitir su apertura*** y de esta forma su colocación sobre la tubería.

Aplicaciones:
Aislamiento térmico en:
Tuberías de calefacción
Tuberías Industriales hasta 250ºc

etc

Basically I dont understand the *** section.

longitudinal slit

Adrana's version is almost absolutely correct, except no one really uses the word "generatrix" outside geometry class rooms.

Another nuance is that a "slot" is an elongated hole from which some material was removed, while a "slit" is just a thin cut made to separate the material without removing any of it. You will see these terms overlap (as in "slitting mill bit"), but generally that's how they work.

I would translate the entire sentence like this: "They are pre-slit to make it easier to fit them over the pipes".
