valeur de pente
écart de pente maximale autorisé
Hello,
« L'étape (D) peut par exemple comprendre les opérations consistant : (…)à vérifier, en tant que condition de validation de l'étape (D), que les pentes desdits premier et deuxième segments rectilignes sont de signes opposés; et à vérifier, en tant que condition de validation de l'étape (D), que les valeurs absolues respectives des pentes desdits premier et deuxième segments rectilignes ont entre elles un écart au plus égal à un écart de pente maximal autorisé.
Maximum authorized slope variance ? (not too sure about écart= variance)
Your suggestions are most welcome!
Thank you in advance

maximum permitted deviation from the gradient
Definitely not "variance" which has a very specific statistical meaning and is not a synonyme for "variation".
Deviation is more appropriate here.

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mrm.22327/full
However, "allowable" is not a correct translation of "autorisé", so use either "allowed" or "permitted".
"whereas the gradient and matrix calculation increase as approximately N ..... It gives the maximum permitted deviation of a bond angle from the ..."
www.chem.ucl.ac.uk/cposs/dmacrys/manuals/dmarel.pdf
I prefer "gradient" to "slope" as it is clear that this is about the angle of the slope and not any other property of the slope.

On the other hand, "gradient" might be engineering rather than maths terminology.
Variance is the mean of squared deviations from the overall mean of a given distribution.
Deviation is more appropriate here.

difference of/with maximum allowable slope
Offhand I would say that "variance" is a statistical quantity; here they are just talking about the difference between two things (segments)

: It's the écart that is autorisé, not the pente itself.

deviation
The difference between the value of a random variable and some standard value.
(Mathematics Dictionary, 4th edition, James & James).
In my multi-lingual mathematics dictionary, Worterbuch Mathematik, there are 32 entries for "écart", the majority of which are given as "deviation" in English, and occasionally "difference".

permitted difference of gradient
.. the absolute values of the gradients of the stated first and second straight-line segments differ by no more than the permitted difference of gradient.
