LUBRICITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUELS: ASTM D5001
LUBRICITY OF AVIATION TURBINE FUELS: ASTM D5001EXPLANATIONWear due to excessive friction resulting in shortened life of engine components such as fuel pumps and fuel controls have sometimes been ascribed to lack of lubricity in an aviation fuel. The relationship of test results to aviation fuel system ...

LUBRICATING GREASES ANALYSIS: ASTM D128
LUBRICATING GREASES ANALYSIS: ASTM 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 ...

LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: ASTM D3340
LITHIUM AND SODIUM IN GREASES BY FLAME PHOTOMETER: ASTM 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. ...

LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM D5306
LINEAR FLAME PROPAGATION RATE OF LUBE OILS AND HYDRAULIC FLUIDS: ASTM 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 ...
-
LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: ASTM D3527
LIFE PERFORMANCE OF GREASES: ASTM 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: ASTM D4290
LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF GREASES: ASTM 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 ...
-
LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: ASTM D1263
LEAKAGE TENDENCIES OF AUTOMOTIVE GREASES: ASTM 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 ...
