It should be noted that while the Noack Volatility exceeds the API specification of 15 max, the difference does fall within the test's reproducibility. b- Initial test results 15.5 / Recheck 16.0. It should be noted that while the Noack Volatility exceeds the API specification of 15 max, the difference does fall within the test's reproducibility. c- Recheck 18.3 d- Test also run at -35c: result, 6,752 mPa-s.
e- This specification is expressed to two significant figures,
therefore results up to 15.5 are considered on specification. |
