bei über 212°F
is correct, but watch the other bit - it should be 100°C, not 110°C. It's just the boiling point of water at sea level.

(It could be water with something added, making it boil at over water\'s usual b.p.: 110 °C = 230 °F).

: Never mind the wrong spelling, but giving the temperature in deg F is plain wrong. Further, 212°F != 110°C = 100°. Experience shows: always double check if both values are given

stimmt, aber vielleicht ist ja auch 110 °C richtig und 212 °F falsch

[Wasser kocht] ab 100°C
Most German readers wouldn't know what Fahrenheit is, in the first place. *IF* you know your client is exporting products to German-speaking countries using the imperial system (I wouldn't know which country that might be), it would be a good idea to include the value in degF in parentheses.
Indicating the temperature in degree Fahrenheit only is plain woring and *illegal* (Irreführung der Verbraucher) in Germany. It may lead to a fine to be payed (Abmahnung!) by your client.

Sorry, plain woring = plain wrong

: Ich habe DIE Geldquelle entdeckt: Ich gründe eine entsprechende Firma und mahne alle Diskettenhersteller ab: 5,15", 3,5" und so weiter. Dazu die Hersteller von 19"-Racks. (Dummerweise ist "Zoll" ja wieder urdeutsch.)... :o)

That's partially correct. This is a major exception because these are *established* sizes, sames goes for 17" screens for computers. You wouldn't get away with a 17" TV screen though. And degF is definitely not customary in Germany.
