API Ammonia test

Is there a set parts per million that API test will be falsely positive from using chelated copper at 2.25 to 2.5 ppm?

I’m seeing in a 2024 post that you made that .5 ppm ammonia in a tank treated with chelated copper can be attributed to the copper interaction.

If so, is it a simple extrapolation that if an API test reads 2.0 ppm that .5 of that is attributable to copper giving a true value of 1.5 million?
