Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample of grease, supported on a 75-m75 m (No. 200) sieve, is subjected to 1.72 kPa (0.25 psi) 1.72 kPa (0.25 psi)air pressure for 24 h at 25C (77F).24 h at 25 C (77 F). Any oil seepage that occurs drains into
16、 a beaker and is weighed.5. Significance and Use5.1 When a lubricating grease separates oil, the remaining composition increases in consistency. This can affect the ability ofthe product to function as designed.5.2 It has been found that the results of this test correlate directly with the oil separ
17、ation that occurs in 35-lb35 lb pails of greaseduring storage.5.3 This test method is not intended to predict oil separation tendencies of the grease under dynamic conditions.6. Apparatus6.1 Test Apparatus4-6The assembled apparatus consists of a tightly fitting cup and cover which contains a 75-m75
18、m (No.200) sieve strainer for supporting the grease, a funnel for collecting separated oil, and a 20-mL20 mL beaker for retaining theseparated oil. A fitting is provided in the cover for inlet air (1.72 kPa (0.25 psi) (1.72 kPa (0.25 psi) and a hole is provided inthe side of the cup to prevent back
