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.
Technicians monitor the cup. The exact temperature recorded on the thermometer when the first drop falls through the bottom hole is officially cataloged as the dropping point. gost 6793
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. Formulated under GOST 1033-79, these are intended for
Note: While identical in premise, subtle variations in heating rates or cup dimensions between these standards can result in slight numerical differences in the final recorded temperature. The exact temperature recorded on the thermometer when
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:
