Recent R-matrix calculations of electron impact excitation rates in Ar III are used to derive the theoretical temperature sensitive ratio R = I(3P1,2-1D2)/I(1D2-1S0) = I(7135 Å+7751 Å)/I(5192 Å). Electron temperatures estimated from the observed values of R in planetary nebulae are in good agreement with those deduced from O III. In addition, Ar III abundances determined from the 3P2-1D2 and 3P2-3P1 transitions at 7135 Å and 9 μm respectively are consistent, in contrast to results found using the excitation rates of Krueger and Czyzak.
