Historical Standard: ASTM D4693-07 Standard Test Method for Low-Temperature Torque of Grease-Lubricated Wheel Bearings
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D4693
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the extent to which a test grease retards the rotation of a specially-manufactured, spring-loaded, automotive-type wheel bearing assembly when subjected to low temperatures. Torque values, calculated from restraining-force determinations, are a measure of the viscous resistance of the grease. This test method was developed with greases giving torques of less than 35 Nm at 40C.
1.2 &si-value;
1.3 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
