German term

dE-Wert

German to English Science Science (general) test instructions
I'm translating testing instructions concerning the heat resistance of coatings

Under the heading
"Beurteilung der Temperaturbeständigkeit"

"Die Beurteilung soll visuell und farbmetrisch (dE-Wert)durchgeführt werden."

The "dE values" of samples baked at different temperatures are compared.

Thanks in advance
Proposed translations (English)

Selected

dE or delta E (value)

assuming E is the symbol for the internal energy, in which case dE or "delta E" would be the change in internal energy

the 'value' can often be omitted in English.
