PART ICalculation of Pressure Conversion Factor

The pressure conversion factor is the number given by the following formula, namely—

where—

  • M =the number of millibars in the pressure of the gas at the meter;

  • A =the number of millibars of pressure to be deducted from M on account of the height of the meter above mean sea level measured at Ordnance Survey datum given by the table below.
