Calculation of correction table

Standard temp. = 16°C = 289°C abs.
Standard pressure = 29.9

B₀ = (29.9 / P) x (T / 289) x 100

= 103.46 x (T / 10P)

= 103.46 { (x / 10P) + (T - x) / 10P }

= 100 + 103.46 (T - x) / 10P

where x = 1000 P / 103.46

or B₀ = 100 + (100 / x) (T - x) = 100 T / x

P x 100/x
28.0 270.7 .3695 B₀ = 100 + .3695 (T - 270.7)
28.5 275.5 .363 B₀ = 100 + .363 (T - 275.5)
29.0 280.3 .357 B₀ = 100 + .357 (T - 280.3)
29.5 285.1 .351 B₀ = 100 + .351 (T - 285.1)
30.0 289.9 .345 B₀ = 100 + .345 (T - 289.9)
30.5 294.8 .339 B₀ = 100 + .339 (T - 294.8)
31.0 299.6 .334 B₀ = 100 + .334 (T - 299.6)
