ASTM D1743 - Corrosion Preventive Properties of Lubricating Greases

Significance and Use

5.1 This test method differentiates the relative corrosion-preventive capabilities of lubricating greases under the conditions of the test.

Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corrosion preventive properties of greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings stored under wet conditions. This test method is based on CRC Technique L 412 that shows correlations between laboratory results and service for grease lubricated aircraft wheel bearings.

1.2 Apparatus Dimensions—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 All Other Values—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
