From 81 close major-merger pairs of galaxies observed with the Herschel Space Telescope (H-KPAIRs), we determine whether the infrared flux at 12 micron (W3) or 22 micron (W4) wavelengths as catalogued in the Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) archives are equivalent measures of star formation rates (SFR) to those derived from 6 Herschel photometric bands. Following this procedure allows us to create a SFR control sample derived from the published COLD GASS set of isolated galaxies that has data for the W3 and W4 fluxes but not the Herschel photometric bands. The establishment of a connection to the COLD GASS sample will allow us to compare radio measures of gas content across isolated and paired galaxies for future studies.
