About OXIDATION STABILITY FOR GREASE TESTING EQUIPMENTS
Purpose
This test method determines resistance of lubricating greases to oxidation when stored statically in an oxygen atmosphere in a sealed system at an elevated temperature under conditions of test
Summary of test method
The sample of grease is oxidized in a pressure vessel heated to 99 Degree Celsius and filled with oxygen at 110 psi . Pressure is observed and recorded at stated intervals. The degree of oxidation after a given period of time is determined by the corresponding decrease in oxygen pressure
