A small grease sample is packed into a specialized metal cup with a standardized hole at the bottom.
Formulated under GOST 1033-79, these are intended for low-temperature applications up to about 65 °C. Their dropping points typically register on the lower end, around 75 °C to 100 °C. gost 6793
In modern laboratory facilities, this process is automated using specialized instrumentation like the Lintel Kaplya-20U or similar specialized drop point devices. 🚜 Relevance in Lubricant Manufacturing A small grease sample is packed into a
Lubricating greases are engineered by combining a base oil with a thickener and performance additives. The thickener holds the oil like a sponge. As grease is heated, it reaches a temperature where the thickener can no longer retain the oil. In modern laboratory facilities, this process is automated
is the state standard used across Russia and the CIS region to define the test method for determining the dropping point of petroleum products, primarily lubricating greases.
When reading a technical data sheet (TDS) for an industrial or automotive grease manufactured under GOST standards, you will almost always see GOST 6793 cited next to the dropping point specification. For instance:
