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.
If you are working with equipment or grease specified under non-CIS metrics, the procedure outlined in GOST 6793 is highly comparable to the following international standards: or ASTM D2265 (United States) ISO 2176 (International Organization for Standardization) DIN 51801 (Germany) 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
The standard outlining the procedure is officially recognized as . Testing typically follows these specific parameters: The thickener holds the oil like a sponge
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:
A small grease sample is packed into a specialized metal cup with a standardized hole at the bottom.
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.
