SAE国际工业润滑油委员会制定了许多工业、非生产润滑油性能规范。这些SAE自愿性规范的目的是:a.定义工业润滑油的最低性能要求（如果可以进行测试）。b、 为润滑油供应商提供关键工业润滑油的性能目标。c、 向成员公司和其他可能希望使用这些规范的公司推广这些润滑剂的可用性。d、 使用通用测试标准和属性提供用户友好的分类系统。

The SAE International Industrial Lubricants Committee has developed a number of industrial, non-production, lubricant performance specifications.The purpose of these voluntary SAE specifications is to:a. Define minimum performance requirements for industrial lubricants, where tests are available.b. Provide lubricant suppliers with performance targets for key industrial lubricants.c. Promote the availability of these lubricants to member companies and others who may wish to use these specifications.d. Provide a user friendly classification system using common test standards and properties.
