German term

kann in einem Bereich von 0-300 erfasst werden

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments
Context: Evaporator device in dermatology

"Die Wasserverdunstung (WE) kann in einem Bereich von 0-300 erfaßt werden."

How can I render this in succinct technical English?

water evaporation detection range is...?

Thanks a lot!

water evaporation range FWIW the phrase "water evaporation range" gets some googles. So maybe you'd like to word it something like: the device is capable of detecting/measuring a water evaporation range from 0 to 300. Good luck!

can detect WE values ranging from 0 to 300

If I understand your problem correctly, (the device) is capable of detecting WE values ranging from 0 to 300
Note from asker:
Hi Tom, thanks for your help. Yes, exactly, that's the idea. I was wondering whether there was a succinct technical term for it...detection range or sth along those lines...
Peer comment(s):

agree Rolf Keiser : this is the correct term for "erfassen" - their is no mention of "Messung"

neutral Bernhard Sulzer : I am just not so sure about "detecting values" but what units are we talking about here?

measured in the range between 0 and 300 UNITS?

I might just used 'measured' for erfasst here.

Usually, you have to give some units to the numbers to make it plausible.
Peer comment(s):

agree Bernhard Sulzer : I am not sure but again this seems to point to"measurements" that are possible within a certain range of values. "Measure" might be a little more specific than "detect".

water evaporation levels between 0 and 300 are recorded

That's what I would suggest.

Better use water evaporation rates. That gets twice as many Google hits as water evaporation levels.
