Five cases

A.I.D. Bo/B = Po/P . T/To Ⓐ

If Po = 29.9, To = 289.

Corrn = 3.34h + .345t Ⓑ

if only for pressure
Corrn = 3.34h Ⓒ

etc's Corrn to I.H.P. is
3.34h + .173t Ⓓ

and to B.H.P.
3.7h + .19t Ⓔ

If P = 28.0 T = 298

Corrn A = 298/289 x 299/280 = 110.0
c.e. + 10.0

Corrn B = 6.35 + 3.1 = +9.45

Corrn C = 6.35

Corrn D = 7.9

Corrn E = 8.7
