EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of BS 2000-121 testing. This standard describes a method for measuring oil leaving a lubricating grease. This method provides a guide to the behavior of lubricating grease stored in cans or drums. The method is not intended to predict oil separation tendencies of grease under dynamic service conditions.
This International standard is applicable to liquids of any vapor pressure as long as appropriate precautions are taken to ensure that they remain in a single phase without loss of light ends and subsequent changes in composition and density during both sample processing and density determination.
If the determined density is to be converted to the density at some reference temperature using petroleum measurement tables, the determination should be made at a temperature as close as possible to the reference temperature to minimize uncertainties arising from the use of generalized measurements.
When greases are stored for a long time or used at high temperatures, the oil they contain shows separation behavior. It refers to the separation of liquid oil from soap. Partial separation from the oil is required in bearing lubrication. However, it creates excess soap at the lubrication point of separation from oil above the standards. This causes flow strain and insufficient lubrication in the lubrication line. Some greases are separated from the oil under pressure in central lubrication systems, care must be taken.
