ASTM D3527 - 11 Standard Test Method for Life Performance of Automotive Wheel Bearing Grease

This test method differentiates among wheel bearing greases having distinctly different high-temperature characteristics. It is not the equivalent of longtime service tests, nor is it intended to distinguish between the products having similar high-temperature performance properties. This test method has proven to be helpful in screening greases with respect ...

Parker Dam Bureau of reclamation has success with ‘VSG’ biodegradable grease

Background: A better product was necessary because spent grease from the wicket gate bearings on hydroelectric turbines will end up in the waterways. Traditional mineral oil based greases are not considered to be readily biodegradable or environmentally friendly so an alternative was required. This is VSG which was specifically developed for the bearings on the wicket and control gates of ...

Montreal Protocol Parties Move Closer to Managing Hydrofluorocarbons under Most-Successful Environmental Treaty

Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the world's most-successful environmental treaty, moved closer to finalizing a mandate for a contact group on the feasibility and ways of managing hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under the treaty during their thirty-sixth Open-ended Working Group meeting (OEWG 36) held from 20 to 24 July in Paris, France. HFCs are man-made fluorinated chemicals that do not deplete the ...

ASTM D7755 - 11 standard practice for determining the wear volume on standard test pieces used by high-frequency, linear-oscillation (SRV) test machine

The determination of the wear volume becomes in tribological testing a key element, as it is more discriminative than the wear scar diameter, because an optically visible wear scar diameter may or may not indicate wear on the surface of the ball and the wear track as an irreversible loss of material. Users of this test method should determine whether ...
