Petroleum and related products - Determination of the extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties of fluids - Four ball method (European conditions) (ISO 20623:2003)

Scope

ISO 20623:2003 specifies procedures for the measurement of the extreme-pressure (EP) and anti-wear properties of lubricating oils and fluids by means of the four ball machine. The conditions of test are those that apply in Europe and other areas that have similar electrical supply characteristics (200 V to 250 V, 50 Hz). In North America, the conditions of test are slightly different, but provide a similar ranking of the lubricating properties of fluids. The test conditions are not intended to simulate particular service conditions, but to provide information over a range of standard conditions for the purpose of research, development, quality control and fluid ranking. The output is used in lubricant specifications.
