Altitude Correction Factors

The appropriate altitude correction factor from the chart below may be used to convert an observed fuel input rate that results in a No. 2 smoke spot at higher altitudes to the corresponding fuel input rate at sea level. The effective rated output capacity of a burner at altitudes higher than sea level can be estimated by dividing the rated output capacity at sea level by the correction factor corresponding to the altitude.
