neutral  Tony M: I don't believe so, Christian: the examples you cite are referring to '% by weight' (i.e. not voulme) in EN, but are not referring to '10-weight oil', which does indeed refer to its viscosity; difficult to see how yr suggestion in % could mean this in FR?

  -> I agree with viscosity and would've thought the % in weight helped calculate them centistokes and therefore, 10wt means 10% of the weight (in oil) Am I wrong here ? Thanks anyway Tony. Long time I've been out of these polluting oil fields :)
disagree  gayd (X): very unlikely
