German term

in Kopfhöhe

German to English Tech/Engineering Other radiation exposure / measurement of radiation fields
This is from a report on radiation measurements - exposure to radiation was measured "in Kopfhöhe". I'm having a tough time confirming such a seemingly inocuous term.

LEO says "at face level", but I'm just not entirely convinced (at least not yet). The report also mentions some measurements that were taken at eye level - so the distinction between Kopfhöhe and Augenhöhe should probably be preserved.

None of the references I looked at seem to point conclusively to face level = Kopfhöhe, so I thought I'd ask for opinions.

What about "at head level"?
Non-ProZ.com Nov 11, 2004:
David, believe it or not, "at head height" did occur to me. However, I cannot verify its use in conjunction with *measuring radiation fields* or, for that matter, measuring anything that might be floating around at about the height of a person's head.
All the references you quote pertain to screws and similar hardware. Muret-Sanders offers the somewhat convoluted "on a level with the head".

I still think \"at head height\" would read well here

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Must be the late hour - or maybe I was just too blonde today to search correctly. I really wanted to use at head level (to go with the eye level, I like things nice and neat... :-) ), but somehow I just didn't find anything to support my instincts. Thanks to you and Krisztina. And off to bed it is, for me anyway... :-)"

This is in support of both "head height" and "head level". There are many hits in Google for both of these in association with radiation. Here is an example for "head level".

"Local radiation doses were measured in 19 ERCP sessions at head level of the endoscopist,..."
