From these results, the pressure in psi can be calculated back using the equation
described in the previous section and the FOP gauge factor.

4.3 Determination of the Gauge Factor
Finally, it can be shown that the Gauge Factor can be determined from the Calibration
Factor by the following equations:

Where C.F. is the Calibration Factor given in nm/psi. The values in the above example
can be used to calculate Y = 2 and ZZZZ = 5192. Note that the Calibration Factor is
determined in factory using a precisely calibrated pressure system.
