How do you determine if pits are 60% of Tmin. Do you multiply Tmin by 0.6 and subtract the answer from nominal for the recordable pit depth. The T2 value confuses me when it comes to determining rejectable pits.

I did not get the same answer as you did. I got that the minimum thickness is .223. What did I do wrong?
