The EMR4 calculates temperature compensated volume using the 12 density pairs from Table 5 above in the following
formula:
V
o
= V
t
(
t
/ 
o
)
where: V
t
= uncompensated gross volume
V
o
= calculated temperature compensated volume

t
/ 
o
= ratio of density at measured temperature to density at base temperature
The ratio of density is calculated after inserting the appropriate P constants into the equation below:

t
/ 
o
= 1 + (-P
