is 10-15 times...

The pressure in the pulse can be 10-15 times that at the generator inlet.

Peer comment(s):

agree David Knowles : This is the simplest, but to keep the original structure, "by" could be used: exceeds ... by 10-15 times.//Yes, it would be odd to put "by 9-14 times"!

Thanks. I don't like "exceeds by so many times", I would never say that myself. At least it isn't a decimal. I recently did a job full of "4,8 раза больше" & the like, & had to explain to the PM why I was putting one less every time: 3.8 times, etc.
agree Ravindra Godbole : I agree with David.
