Resistance of Lubricating Grease to Water Spray

ASTM D4049

Resistance of Lubricating Grease to Water Spray
This test method is used to evaluate the ability of a grease to adhere to a metal surface when subjected to direct water spray. The results obtained from the use of this test method suggest correlation in operations involving direct water spray impingement such as steel mill roll neck bearing service. This test method is used for quality control and purchase specifications.
