GM 9030 Oil Separation from Grease

Oil may separate from lubricating grease during storage and the separation may be accelerated at elevated temperatures.  This test determines the amount of oil that separates from a grease during storage at elevated temperatures.

The grease is packed into a nickel cone as per the method, the cone is placed over a beaker and the assembly is placed into an oven (100°C) for the test time (30 hours).  It is then removed and the amount of oil collected in the beaker is measured.  The mass percentage lost is reported.
