Be advised that the title of Figure 4.2 of API 650 is incorrect with regards to the conversion between °F and °C. The correct formula is °C = (°F-32)*(5/9). I will ensure that an agenda item is taken out to correct this issue.

I was not aware of this issue previously. I do know there was an issue with the section which read "plus 15°F (-9°C)." That issue has been corrected sometime before 12th Edition Addendum 1. That one was particularly annoying for my OCD.
