The method of Albergo, Costa, Costanzo, and Rubbino to determine the temperature and free nucleon density of a disassembling hot nuclear source from fragment yields is modified to include the effects of radial collective flow, generated in the system from compression. We find that the freeze-out density increased substantially whereas the extracted temperature is modified only a little.
