BS 2000-121:2005+A1:2014

What is BS 2000-121- Determination of oil separation from lubricating grease using Pressure filtration method about?  

BS 2000-121describes a method for measuring the oil that separates from a lubricating grease under the conditions of test. 

Note 1:  - This method provides a guide to the behaviour of lubricating grease stored in can or drums. The method is not intended to predict the oil separation tendencies of the grease under dynamic service conditions.  

Note 2: - The method can be used for semi-fluid greases but the precision for these materials has not been established.  

Who is BS 2000-121- Determination of oil separation from lubricating grease using Pressure filtration method for? 

BS 2000-121 on determination of oil separation from lubricating grease using pressure filtration method is useful for: 

• Petroleum industry 
• Testing laboratories 
• Research institutes/ academia 

Why should you use BS 2000-121- Determination of oil separation from lubricating grease using Pressure filtration method? 

Oil has the tendency to separate during storage. When the base oil separates from the other raw components in a grease, the residual material may alter consistency, affecting the ability of grease to function as intended.  

Test method specified in BS 2000-121 allows you to determine or monitor the separation of oil from grease under test conditions with precision and accuracy.
