Calculate the orientation corrected compressive strength by adding the
appropriate orientation correction factor (E) according to the
orientation of the test hammer during the testing. (F) = (D) + (E)

I.
Calculate the final compressive strength (H) by multiply the orientation
corrected compressive strength (F) by the field correction factor (G)
that was calculated in 3.2B(4).
(H) = (F) x (G)
NOTE: During the concrete cylinder comparison calibration test
this should equal the initial compressive strength of the cylinder
(A) ± 0.5%.
