ISO 14635-3:2023

OVERVIEW

This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine for determining the relative load-carrying capacity of semi-fluid gear greases defined by the gear surface damage known as scuffing.

This method is useful for evaluating the scuffing load capacity potential of semi-fluid gear greases of NLGI classes 0 to 000, typically used with highly stressed gearing for enclosed gear drives. It can only be applied to greases giving a sufficient lubricant flow in the test gear box of the FZG test machine.

NOTE            The test method is technically equivalent to DIN Fachbericht 74.
