1.1This test method covers the determination of the load-carrying properties of lubricating greases. Three determinations are made:
1.1.1Load-Wear Index (formerly called Mean-Hertz Load),
1.1.2Weld Point, by means of the Four-Ball Extreme-Pressure (EP) Tester, and
1.1.3Last nonseizure load (LNSL).
1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values in parentheses are for information only.
1.3This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
