PLTL-163 Storage Stability as per Mil-L-19701 – Oil Separation

Semi-fluid lubricants intended for aircraft usage, such as those used in power accessory equipment including machine guns, need to stay homogenous during storage.  This test measures gross oil separation from the thickener phase in semi-fluid lubricants.  

The semi-fluid is placed into a sample bottle and stored at the test temperature for the test time (50°C, 168 hours).  It is then visually examined.  A pass is reported if no oil layer has formed over the semi-fluid.
