[Grammar] Inverted order of words

[Larisa_rog]

Please tell me whether or not the last sentence (inverted order of words) is correct:

Pipe elements, whose nomenclature and quantity are determined according to effective technological and production regulations, shall not be included in the specification. Attributable to these elements are elbows, reducers, tees, cross-pieces, flanges, gaskets, bolts, nuts, washers, etc.

Thanks in advance

 

[MikeNewYork]

Yes, the word order in the last sentence is correct.

 

[tedmc]

Those elements are component parts of a piping system. The word 'attributable' is not appropriate. I suggest 'included under these elements are...'.

As far as I am concerned, this grammatical feature is known as "fronting which involves a prepositional phrase". If you wish to know more , here is a detailed description: http://dictionary.cambridge.org/grammar/british-grammar/fronting.

Nomenclature is a system of naming things.
Do you mean 'configuration' in relation to a piping system?
What do you mean by 'effective technological regulations'?

effective technological regulations = Technological codes and standards that are in effect.

 

[Weaver67]

effective technological regulations = Technological codes and standards that are in effect.

Some adjectives may have different meanings depending on their position - attributive or predicative respectively. That is why the phrase "effective regulations" as it is may cause an ambiguity in meaning. Even the context given doesn't do much to help clarify the meaning, as I see it. Maybe I don't see much? But, anyhow, I would suggest using 'current' instead.

[tedmc]

I agree with Weaver. 'Effective' and 'in effect' mean different things.
I think you mean 'the relevant technical codes and standards'.
'Relevant' means that 'which is current and applicable'.
