Use:
- The dropping point of a grease is the temperature at which it passes from a semi-solid to a liquid state. The dropping point test determines the cohesiveness of the oil and thickener of a grease, or when the thickener breaks down. Dropping point tests are used for quality control to verify that the soap structure has been formed correctly and will withstand high temperatures.
- Does not apply for PFPE/PTFE thickened greases
Compliance with following International Standards:
- Dropping Point is also known as ASTM Method Automatic Dropping Point Apparatus.
- Automatic Dropping Point Apparatus Standard Test Method for Dropping Point of Lubricating Grease Over Wide Temperature Range.
- The equipment is used for higher temperature grease testing than the ASTM D566 method. The different heating procedure is used as compared with ASTM D566.
