Historical Standard: ASTM D5969-96 Standard Test Method for Corrosion-Preventive Properties of Lubricating Greases in Presence of Dilute Synthetic Sea Water Environments
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5969
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the corrosion-preventive properties of greases using grease-lubricated tapered roller bearings exposed to various concentrations of dilute synthetic sea water stored under wet conditions. It is based on Test Method D 1743, which is practiced using a similar procedure and distilled water. The reported result is a pass or fail rating as determined by at least two of three bearings.
1.2 The values stated in acceptable inch-pound units for the apparatus dimensions are to be regarded as standard, and the SI conversions are provided for information only. All other values stated in acceptable SI 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 limitations prior to use.
