  -> perhaps you're right. however, my ref also seems to indicate that in the chem-engineering field, the operative word is 'approach' rather than 'temperature' i.e. it's 'temperature approach' rather than 'approach temperature'. hence my word order.

suhu cara rapat


Explanation:
temperature = 'suhu' (ref. minerva kamus dwibahasa ms. 843)
approach = 'pendekatan; cara' (ref. KIMD ms75)
close = 'dekat; rapat; rapat-rapat' (ref. KIMD ms.254

suhu pendekatan rapat


Explanation:
I use this link http://www.karyanet.com.my/ to check for possible anwers. The Istilah search that I did gave closest approach as pendekatan terapat. And I think it describes the close approach temperature if you are referring something like fluid and gas flow equipment or control or controllers.

going by the limited info , i have a strong feeling that the req.translation has something to do with labelling on some type of machine.the sentence by itself is very fragmented hence it is only proper that it be simplified.

Example sentence(s):
  • mesin itu sudah menghampiri suhu yang ditetapkan
