It is intended to only provide basic information that can be used for ball park figures. Consult actual standards be is responible for incorrect information found in this table. Use thereof is the sole responsibility of the user. 2. WARNING: Some data in this table is from primary sources, however most data is from secondary sources. Data derived from tertiary sources is identified. Where n data fields are left blanket. Feel free to add any information when primary or secondary sources are found for the missing or tertiary sourced data. 3. NOTE: Many platings require undercoats. Some standands take these into account, and others do not.
