1.1.2 Test Method B-W  covers autoclave tests at 121°C on bottles partially filled with distilled water as the attacking medium.

1.1.3 Test Method P-W  covers autoclave tests at 121°C on powdered samples with pure water as the attacking medium.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
