1.1 本试验方法包括测定润滑脂在正常填充和部分填充的容器中储存期间分离油的趋势。 1.2 本试验方法不适用于软于NLGI 1级的润滑脂。 注1: 所有尺寸均以毫米（英寸）为单位。 附注2: 除非另有说明，公差为±0.51 mm（0.02 in.）小数点后2位。 附注3: 除非另有说明，公差为±0.127 mm（0.005 in.）小数点后3位。 1.4 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全性问题（如果有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前建立适当的安全、健康和环境实践并确定法规限制的适用性。 有关具体危害说明，请参见 7.1 . 1.5 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ======意义和用途====== 5.1 当润滑脂分离油时，剩余组合物的稠度增加。这可能会影响产品按设计运行的能力。 5.2 已经发现，该测试的结果与储存期间35磅桶润滑脂中发生的油分离直接相关。 5.3 本试验方法不用于预测动态条件下润滑脂的油分离趋势。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the tendency of a lubricating grease to separate oil during storage in both normally filled and partially filled containers. 1.2 This test method is not suitable for greases softer than NLGI No. 1 grade. Note 1: All dimensions are in millimeters (inches). Note 2: Tolerances are ±0.51 mm (0.02 in.) for 2 place decimals, unless otherwise specified. Note 3: Tolerances are ±0.127 mm (0.005 in.) for 3 place decimals, unless otherwise specified. 1.4 This 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. For a specific hazard statement, see 7.1 . 1.5 This 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. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 When a lubricating grease separates oil, the remaining composition increases in consistency. This can affect the ability of the product to function as designed. 5.2 It has been found that the results of this test correlate directly with the oil separation that occurs in 35 lb pails of grease during storage. 5.3 This test method is not intended to predict oil separation tendencies of the grease under dynamic conditions.
