WATER WASHOUT CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING GREASE

WATER WASHOUT CHARACTERISTICS OF LUBRICATING GREASE – ASTM D 1264

Model Code: SEWWC01

This test method covers the evaluation of the resistance of a lubricating grease to washout by water from a bearing, when tested at specific temperature under the standard laboratory conditions. The grease is packed into a ball bearing, the bearing is inserted in a housing and rotated at 600 +/- 30 rpm. Water is then impinged on the bearing housing at specified rate. The amount of grease washed out is calculated which is a measure of the resistance of the grease to water washout.

APPARATUS CONSISTS OF :

Ball bearing	Simple ball bearing, SS mfg., dimensions as per the standard.
Housing and shield	Housed with nut and bolts, driving belts and safety shield, etc.
Reservoir tank	Water tank consisting bearing assembly, water storage, jet flow ejector, etc.
Driving assembly	Simple ¼ HP drive motor with pulley, belts, etc.
Control panel	Variable heating control, digital temperature indicator & controller, digital display.
Recommended spares	Standard thermometer, drive belts, Ball bearings, jet ejectors, etc.
