    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This test method covers the determination of the loss in mass by evaporation of lubricating greases and oils for applications where evaporation loss is a factor.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    1.1This test method covers the determination of the loss in mass by evaporation of lubricating greases and oils for applications where evaporation loss is a factor. Evaporation loss data can be obtained at any temperature in the range from 100 °C to 150 °C (210 °F to 300 °F).

    1.2The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

    1.2.1Exception—The values given 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
