CONVERSION OF TEMPERATURES FROM THE 1948 AND 1968 SCALES TO ITS-90

This table gives temperature corrections from older scales to the current International Temperature Scale of 1990 (see the preceding table for details
on ITS-90). The first part of the table may be used for converting Celsius temperatures in the range -180 to 4000C from IPTS-68 or IPTS-48 to ITS90. Within the accuracy of the corrections, the temperature in the first column may be identified with either t68, t48, or t90. The second part of the table
is designed for use at lower temperatures to convert values expressed in kelvins from EPT-76 or IPTS-68 to ITS-90.
The references give analytical equations for expressing these relations. Note that Reference 1 supersedes Reference 2 with respect to corrections in
the 630 to 1064C range.
