ASTM D1743-01

Standard Test Method for Determining Corrosion Preventive Properties of Lubricating Greases

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corrosion preventive properties of greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings stored under wet conditions. This test method is based on CRC Technique L 41that shows correlations between laboratory results and service for grease lubricated aircraft wheel bearings.  
1.2 The values stated in acceptable inch-pound units for the apparatus dimensions are to be regarded as standard, and the metric conversions are provided for information only. All other values stated in acceptable metric units are standard.
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.
