Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

constitute an endorsement.

For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the

World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum and related products, fuels

and lubricants from natural or synthetic sources.

This first edition of ISO 11007-1, together with ISO/TS 11007-2, cancels and replaces ISO 11007:1997,

which has been technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— the document has been divided in two parts: part 1 on dynamic wet conditions and part 2 specifying

the method with water wash-out;
— other water types and user-specified solutions can be used in this test.
A list of all parts in the ISO 11007 series can be found on the ISO website.

Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction

ISO 6743-9 classifies greases according to their conditions of use. The complete designation of a grease

comprises of the ISO sign, the letter L (lubricant, industrial oils and related products), the letter X for

the grease family, four symbols related to the conditions of use, and the NLGI consistency number. The

third symbol is related to the ability of the grease to ensure satisfactory lubrication in presence of

water and provide an adequate corrosion protection level.

The symbol 3 is a combination of the rust protection level evaluated using this document and of the

level of resistance to water contamination using the water washout test according to ISO 11009.

The purpose of this document is to prescribe a method for the evaluation of the corrosion protection

properties of lubricating grease in dynamic wet conditions. This test method is commonly known as

Emcor test in the industry.
Greases are specified in ISO 12924.

A rolling bearing grease may be not suitable to lubricate plain bearings or gears.

1) Emcor stands for Emulsion corrosion.

Dynamic wet conditions

WARNING — The use of this document can involve hazardous materials, operations and

equipment. This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated

with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this document to take appropriate measures

to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to the application of the document, and to

determine the applicability of any other restrictions for this purpose.
1 Scope

This document specifies a method for the determination of the rust prevention characteristics of

lubricating grease under dynamic wet conditions.

This test method is used to assess the ability of a grease to prevent corrosion in rolling bearings

operated in presence of water, synthetic sea water or any industrial aqueous pollutant.

NOTE For the purposes of this document, the term “% (m/m)” is used to represent the mass fraction.

3.1
corrosion

chemical reaction on metal surfaces, when (rolling bearing) steel is in contact with moisture, e. g. water

or acid, that causes oxidation of surfaces
4 Principle

A test portion of grease is run at (83 ± 5) min in a specialized and carefully cleaned test rig under

specified conditions for a total period of 24 h separated in three periods of 8 h, after introduction of

an aqueous test fluid (distilled water, synthetic sea water, sodium chloride solution, user-specified

solutions). At the end of the test period, the apparatus is dismantled and the condition of the outer ring

track of the bearing is examined and rated according to the degree of corrosion.
5 Sampling

Unless otherwise specified, sampling shall be conducted in accordance with ISO 23572. The sample

shall be evaluated on a representative portion. Any drum, barrel, tanker compartment or any type of

container delivered to the end user may be sampled and analysed at the discretion of the purchaser.

6 Apparatus and materials

6.1 Test bearings, double-row self-aligning ball bearings conforming to 1306 K of ISO 15 with a steel

cage or polyamide cage, specially inspected and packed to prevent rust.
6.2 Test rig, as specified in Annex A.

6.3 Oven, capable of maintaining a temperature of 90 °C ± 2 °C to dry the bearing.

6.4 Dentist’s mirror, no magnification.
