The values in the two systemsare not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independent of the other, without combining values in any way.1.4 This specification references notes and footnotes, which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excludingthose in tabl

6、es and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of this specification.1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 13, of this specification: This standarddoes not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any associated with its use.
