This set of tests is for the NLGI specification for a High Performance Multiuse Grease with a Low Temperature Performance Tag. (NLGI HPM + LT specification). It consists of core tests for the HPM requiremsnts and three additional tests to meet the Low Temperature Tag requirements.
HPM Core Requirements:
Core Penetration (60 stroke AND 100,000 stroke) (ASTM D217)
Elastomer Compatability (ASTM D4289)
Oxidation Stability (ASTM D942)
Water Washout @ 79C (ASTM D1264)
Low Temperature Torque (-20C)(ASTM D1478)
Oil Separation (ASTM D1742 AND D6184)
Roll Stability (ASTM D1831)
Four Ball Wear (ASTM D2266 AND ASTM D2596)
Corrosion Prevention (ASTM D6138 (distilled water) AND ASTM D1743)
Copper Corrosion (ASTM D4048)
Additional tests of the Low Temperature Tag:
ASTM D1478 Low Temperature Torque of Ball Bearing Grease (-30C)
US Steel Grease Mobility (-20C)
DIN 51805 Determination of Flow Pressure of Lubricating Greases According to Kesternich Method (-30C)
