Spanish term

linea u. alta

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Petroleum Eng/Sci well design
the above is an item of a legend to a diagram entitled "Arreglos de CSC para perforar en casquete de gas con preventor rotatorio."

items near it include linear de matar, linea de estrangular, macho, check, linea agua de mar....

the only thing I can think of is possible u = unidad

TIA for any input
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 high pressure line

high pressure line

Just an educated guess, without seeing the diagram. The kill line is just a high pressure line, according to this document, connecting the BOP with a high pressure pump (high pressure unit), so it looks it could be just that.

(look at pages 46 and 117)

Or "high pressure pump line", "high pressure unit line" to be closer to "línea a/de la unidad de alta"
Note from asker:
thanks for that Sergio, this material looks like it might be close to what I have, so I'm just trying to my head round unidad de alta - what does alta mean here? high (pressure understood?).
Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : I think so: it means "línea de unidad de alta", where "alta" is short for "alta presión". See also diagrams of árbol de estrangulación on pp. 123-124 of your source, with a line which "proviene de la unidad de alta".

Right. Thanks, Charles
