*SURFACE BEHAVIOR
Repeat this data line in ascending order of overclosure value as often as necessary to define
the overclosure as a function of pressure. A minimum of two data lines are required. The
pressure-overclosure relationship is extrapolated beyond the last overclosure point by continuing the
same slope (see Figure 18.47–3).
