Scope

This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the dropping point of lubricating grease.

NOTE 1 Results of the dropping point test may be used as an indication of the maximum temperature to which a grease can be exposed without complete liquefaction or excessive oil separation, for indication of the grease as to type, and for establishment of manufacturing or quality control limits for this characteristic. Results should not be considered as having any direct bearing on service performance unless such correlation has been established.
