The generalrequirements are that the solid particles be extremely small,uniformly dispersed, and capable of forming a relatively stable,gel-like structure with the liquid lubricant.

18、5 min in a standard roll stability apparatus, before thecone penetration is again measured. The difference between thecone penetration before working and the cone penetration afteris used as a measure of the effect of low shear working ongrease consistency.5. Significance and Use5.1 The roll stabili

Noaccurate correlation is established between the test results andshear stability in actual service.6. Apparatus6.1 Roll Stability Test App

Distribute the grease uniformly on the inside wall ofthe cylinder with a spatula. Place the weighted roll in thecylinder and tighten the cap.7.3 Mount the cylinder in po

22、sition, start the machine, andrecord the time and room temperature which should be limitedto 20 C to 35 C. If the cylinder is enclosed within a cabinet,the temperature around the cylinder shall be maintained at20 C to 35 C.7.4 After rolling for 2 h 6 5 min, remove the grease fromthe cylinder promptl

28、 repeatability and reproducibility are based onthe spread in the numbers after conversion to the full-scale units describedin Test Methods D1403. Precision of this test method was establishedusing the one-quarter scale equipment, but based on the precision valuesin Test Methods D1403, the precision
