SAE v DIN

["Storhok, Eric (E.M.)" <estorhok@domain.elided>]

The difference between SAE and DIN is pretty simple.  The correction
factors.

Like ISO, JIS (Japanese), SAE and DIN have their own special way of
correcting a dyno power run to a standard which you can equally compare
them.  So on ONE dyno test, you can generate data for ALL the standards.
And that is what we do.

BTW, SAE is not an American organization- its international.  Only in
specific countries do you see JIS and DIN, and I think that DIN had its
standard before SAE, hence why its still around- it works.
