EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 6743-1 testing. ISO 6743-1 establishes the detailed classification of family A (Total loss systems) belonging to class L (Lubricants, industrial oils and related products).

ISO 6743-1 Lubricants - Industrial Lubricants and Related Products - Test for Family A

ISO 6743-1 is an international standard that provides a classification system for lubricants, industrial oils and related products, especially those in Class L. Class L lubricants are used to reduce friction and wear in industrial applications such as machinery and equipment.

ISO 6743-1 is divided into several sections, each addressing a specific category of lubricant. Part 1, Family A, focuses on full-loss lubrication systems. These are systems where the lubricant is applied once and discarded after a single use. Examples of total loss lubrication systems are cutting fluids, mold release agents and some types of hydraulic fluids.

1. Part A Family classifies total loss lubricants into 11 categories based on their composition and intended use.

These categories include:

  • AA: Mineral oil-based cutting fluids;
  • AB: Synthetic cutting fluids;
  • AC: Cutting fluids miscible with water;
  • AD: Water-immiscible cutting fluids;
  • AE: Release agents;
  • AF: Wire rope oils;
  • AG: Mold release agents;
  • AH: Various lubricants;
  • AJ: Metalworking oils;
  • AK: Rust inhibitors.

Each of these categories is further divided into subcategories based on specific characteristics such as viscosity and performance characteristics. The classification system provides manufacturers and users with a standardized way to communicate information about the lubricant, including its intended use and performance characteristics.

By using ISO 6743-1, manufacturers and users can be assured that they are using the appropriate lubricant for their particular application, which can help extend the life of machinery and equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
