where $R_{47}^{wrg}$ is the 47/44 ratio of the working reference gas (wrg) and is determined as:  \[R_{47}^{wrg} = 2 \cdot R_{13}^{wrg} \cdot R_{18}^{wrg} + 2 \cdot R_{18}^{wrg} \cdot R_{17}^{wrg} + R_{13}^{wrg} \cdot {(R_{17}^{wrg})^2}\]   Note that implicit in this treatment is an assumption that the mass spectrometer working reference gas has a stochastic distribution of isotopes. It is self evident that this is incorrect since the working reference gas has been equilibrated with water at the laboratory temperature. However, since the $\Delta$ values are <1‰ we can make this assumption and carry out a later linear transformation of the data to take account of the actual reference gas $R_{47}$ value without introducing any significant errors. The ratios $R_{13}$, $R_{17}$ and $R_{18}$ are determined from the $\delta^{13}C_{VPDB}$, $\delta^{17}O_{VSMOW}$ and $\delta^{18}O_{VSMOW} $\delta^{18}O_{VSMOW}$  values of the working reference gas: \[{R_{13}} = \left( {\frac{{\delta _{wrg - VPDB}^{13}}}{{1000}} + 1} \right) \times R_{13}^{VPDB}\]
