Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: Vapour effect
De tekst behandelt de kenmerken van servo- en radarmetingen voor het vaststellen van het vloeistofniveau in een tank. Hierbij moet rekening worden gehouden met het 'Vapour effect':

"Vapour effect is the influence of the product vapours on the propagation speed of a radar signal, compared with the reference (atmospheric) conditions. This effect is caused by specific physical properties of the vapour, which interact with the microwave energy emitted by the radar."

Weet iemand wat de juiste Nederlandse benaming is van dit effect?

dampeffect, verdampingeffect
Explanation:
Kan je helaas geen Internet-referenties aanbieden, maar ik denk dat je dit gewoon letterlijk kunt vertalen als dampeffect of eventueel verdampingseffect. Iedere radartechneut zal begrijpoen waar het om gaat.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Bedankt Jack! Ik had bij gebrek aan een bestaande term voorlopig inderdaad al 'dampeffect' gebruikt. Denk dat ik dat dan gewoon behoud.

agree  Mark Straver: Hoewel "verdampingseffect" in deze context denk ik onjuist is. Dampeffect dus ;)

  -> Bedankt Mark. Of 'verdampingseffect' juist is of niet, 'dampeffect' heeft sowieso mijn voorkeur.
