Utgangsdel

Utgangsdel is a Norwegian term that denotes the part of a system, device, or structure that functions as an exit or outlet. The word combines utgang (exit, outlet) with del (part) and is used primarily in technical, scientific, and architectural contexts to indicate the component that provides a final path to the outside or to another subsystem.

In engineering and electronics, utgangsdel can refer to the output section of a module, such as the connector, port, or the path through which a signal or power leaves the device. In plumbing, fluid mechanics, or mechanical systems, it may describe the discharge or outlet path from a reservoir, pipe, or component. In some biological or medical texts, utgangsdel may be used to describe an outflow tract of an organ or a terminal region through which substances exit, although this usage is not universally standardized and can vary by author or field.

In architecture and building services, the term can appear to denote the portion of a system that leads to an exterior connection, such as an outlet duct or exhaust path. Nevertheless, in everyday Norwegian, more common terms such as utgang (exit) or utløp (outlet) are often preferred.

Usage and synonyms vary by discipline, and utgangsdel is typically encountered in more formal or technical writing. When precision is required, writers may choose more specific terms that describe the exact function and location of the exit path within the particular system.
