We perform lubricating grease quality testing by ASTM D2265 to determine the dropping point of lubricating grease over a wide temperature range. The dropping point is the temperature at which the first drop falls from the sample during the test. The dropping point is useful in identifying the grease type and for quality control purposes.
We also perform drop point testing by ASTM D3954 and ASTM D566. These different test methods use different instruments or procedures or are used for certain sample types. Click on the test method number to learn more about each test.
