A procedure is presented for converting a heat sterilization process F‐value determined on the basis of one z‐value (Z 1 ,) to an F‐value determined on the basis of a second z‐value (Z 2 ). The basis of the conversion is explained. Equations and tabular data for determining the several conversion factors are presented. Examples of the calculation of a new F‐value when there is a change in z‐value are presented.
