German term

abweichend vom theoretischen Durchgangsquerschnitt

German to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks diesel ceramic particulate filters - test
Kanaldefekte

Ein Kanaldefekt liegt vor, wenn Kanäle der effektiven Kanalfläche, die auf der dem Defekt abgewandten Seite mit Stopfen versehen sind, verschlossen sind oder ***abweichend vom theoretischen Durchgangsquerschnitt*** eine Verengung von mindestens 50% abweisen


Could this be 'deviating from the theoretical passage cross-section'? This whole sentence is horrible (in my opinion!), but I really am baffled by the part between the asterisks. Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance.

deviating from the theoretical pass-through cross-section

In filter mechanics, we speek often of canals, in these canals little dust objects are retained and when these dust particles are to big, the canal gets obstructed. So there is a critical cross-section of the canals. This could be deviating from the theoretical pass-through cross section.

deviating from the ideal average flow

Not literal, I know but is that what`s meant?

Second thought:-

deviating from the ideal average cross-section

(more literal, but eliminates Durchgang)

when compared with (or in contrast to) the theoretical

(or specified) cross section.
There must be a comparison (or reference) to provide for the 50%.

You might do well to use \"design cross section.\"
