NOTE: ASTM D1550 & D2962 are listed in Section C because they come under the jurisdiction of API COMQ/ASTM D02.02, even though they are not, at present, joint API-ASTM Standards. ASTM D4311 & D1555 are listed in Section F because they come under the jurisdiction of other ASTM Committees than D02 [D1555 is the responsibility of ASTM Technical Committee D16A, D4311 is the responsibility of ASTM Technical Committee D04.40].
