Standard reference & grade guidance

API Specification 13A, 19th Edition, with Addenda 1 and 2 and Errata 1. API notes that the 4.1 grade may not suit higher mud weights without a performance evaluation against 4.2 grade. These are selected requirements; the complete specification and applicable tests govern conformity.
