  1. Standards, shown in yellow are established by API, SAE and others.
  2. Test Method for metal analysis is ASTM D5185.
  3. This specification is expressed to two significant figures, therefore results up to 15.5 are considered on specification.
  4. This specification is expressed to one significant figure, therefore results between 550 and 849 are considered on specification.
