  • LUBRICATING GREASES ANALYSIS: D128 LUBRICATING GREASES ANALYSIS: D128These test methods cover conventional greases that consist essentially of petroleum oil and soap. Thus these test methods are applicable to many but not all greases. Composition should not be considered as having any direct bearing on service performance unless such ...
  • LOW TEMPERATURE FLUIDITY AND APPEARANCE OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D6351 LOW TEMPERATURE FLUIDITY AND APPEARANCE OF HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D6351EXPLANATIONThe temperature at which a lubricant remains fluid and homogenous after seven days is an index of its ability to withstand prolonged exposure to cold temperatures. Quick cool, short term tests such as Test Methods D97 and D2500 ...
  • LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF GREASES: D2509 LOAD-CARRYING CAPACITY OF GREASES: D2509EXPLANATIONThis test method is widely used for specification purposes and is used to differentiate between greases having low, medium, or high levels of extreme pressure characteristics. The test results may not correlate with results from service. The test uses ...
  • LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: D3340 LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: D3340EXPLANATIONLubricating greases can contain the lithium soap of hydroxy stearic acid or the sodium soap of various fatty acids as thickeners. The determination of total lithium or sodium is a measure of the amount of thickener in the grease. This ...
  • LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D5306 LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: D5306EXPLANATIONThe linear flame propagation rate of a sample is a property that is relevant to the overall assessment of flammability or relative ignitability of fire resistance lubricants and hydraulic fluids. It is intended to be used ...
  • LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: D3527 LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: D3527EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high temperature characteristics. It is not the equivalent of long-time service tests, nor is it intended to distinguish between the products having similar high-performance ...
  • LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF GREASES: D4290 LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF GREASES: D4290EXPLANATIONThis test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high temperature leakage characteristics. It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests. This test method has proven to be helpful in screening greases with respect ...
  • LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: D1263 LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: D1263EXPLANATIONThis test method evaluates the leakage tendencies of wheel bearing greases. This test method provides a screening device that permits differentiation between products having distinctly different leakage characteristics. It is not equivalent to ...
  • RAPID FIELD TEST FOR TRACE LEAD IN GASOLINE: D3348 RAPID FIELD TEST FOR TRACE LEAD IN GASOLINE: D3348This test method is based on the use of Mobil lead test kit and is intended for field use by nontechnical personnel, for the quantitative measurement of lead in unleaded gasoline in the range from 2.64 to 26.4 mg Pb/L. This test method is applicable to ...
  • LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRS): D5059 LEAD DETERMINATION IN GASOLINE BY X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRS): D5059These test methods cover the determination of lead in gasoline in the range of 0.0026 to 1.32 g lead/L. These test methods compensate for the normal variation in gasoline composition and are independent of lead alkyl type. Three parts of ...
