Calculations10.1 For the purposes of this procedure, it is assumed thatthe relationship between observed temperature (TO) and actualspecimen temperature (T) is a linear one governed by thefollowing equation:T 5 TO 3 S! 1 I (1)where:S and I = the

40、slope and intercept, respectively. (See 10.2for the values for S and I, used in Eq 1.)NOTE 7For some instruments, the assumption of a linear relationbetween observed and actual specimen temperature may not hold. Undersuch conditions, calibration temperatures sufficiently close together shallbe used
