API & OCMA Bentonite Specification Checker

Compare R600, R300, filtrate and >75 µm residue results with API and OCMA references.

Compare one data set with two reference systems

Enter R600, R300, filtrate volume and residue above 75 µm. The tool calculates PV, YP, YP/PV and AV and compares the available data independently with API- and OCMA-oriented reference limits.

Result statuses

  • Within reference limit — the value falls within the displayed reference.
  • Outside reference limit — the value falls outside that reference.
  • Not entered — no value is available for that criterion.
  • Invalid — the input cannot be meaningfully evaluated.

Partial evaluation

All four values are not required. If only R600 and R300 are available, the tool can evaluate R600 and calculated YP/PV while filtration and residue remain “Not entered”. The result is therefore a partial evaluation, not a complete specification statement.

Why API and OCMA can differ

YP/PV = 3.43 is outside the API reference but within the OCMA reference. Residue above 75 µm = 3.1% is within the API reference but outside the OCMA reference.

No certification claim

The checker deliberately avoids certification, approval and formal conformity claims. It provides technical reference comparison only.
