Burton developed an equation for estimating mean body temperature from skin and core temperatures. If 2 of these temperatures are known then the third can be estimated.
Temperatures:
(1) mean body temperature in °C
(2) skin temperature in °C
(3) skin temperature in °C
mean body temperature =
= (0.64 * (core temperature)) + (0.36 * (skin temperature))
core temperature =
= ((mean body temperature) - (0.36 * (skin))) / 0.64 =
= (1.5625 * (mean body temperature)) - (0.5625 * (skin))
skin temperature =
= ((mean body temperature) - (0.64 * (core))) / 0.36 =
= (2.7778 * (mean body temperature) - (1.7778 * (core))
