Conradson Carbon Residue ASTM D189 / IP 13 issue:
“The reporting of the wrong method against the wrong
wording”

Geography Global Status Obligation

Dear Colleagues,

 I’ve noticed that on a few occasions the wording of the above tests have been used
with the incorrect test method.

 For Micro Carbon Residue the correct method is ASTM D4530 or IP 398

 For Conradson Carbon Residue the correct method is ASTM D189 or IP 13

 Although similar results are obtained these are separate test methods and should be
stated as such.
