Diode Forward Voltage Chart Comparison from AMZ Blog

What does it mean, Man?

Without knowing the test current, and in the case of germanium, the temperature, we're in the dark. I find V-I curves much more informative as to how diodes will behave in-circuit. For non-linear devices, a single data point is not very useful.
 
Well Hoss, I tested a few with my Peak DCA55, 1N4148 & Sylvania 1N34A were in the Ballpark listed above. :p
 
I don't doubt it, but since I don't have a DCA55 I probably can't replicate your measurements. What's the test current?
