"Bear in mind that the intensity that you are trying to confirm is not that for 2.43 but the intensity value read from the curve at 2.00 passes."

I want to correct one thing in this statement as we see confusion on this regularly in our peening courses. When referring to any arc height that does not correspond directly to the T1 value it is just an arc height, not an intensity value. With that I offer a revised statement:

"Bear in mind that the intensity that you are trying to confirm is not that for 2.43 but the arc height value read from the curve at 2.00 passes."

One might say that you're actually verifying the previous saturation curve that gave you the intensity value.
