4. From the intersection of desired vial temperature and ambient 
temperature, draw a vertical line down to the x-axis of the graph and read 
the temperature needed for the water bath.

ambient air temperature
Tray quadrant temperatures and pressures
Figure 88 shows the maximum pressures and temperatures measured at the 
output to the quadrant plumbing.
For example, with a water bath temperature of 40°C, the output pressure to the 
tray quadrants should not exceed 3.5 psi.
