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 tan 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 performante unless such correlation has been established.
