The instrument is designed and made as per the Industry Standard of Petrochemical SH/T0115 “Test Methods for Dropping Point of Lubricating Grease and Solid Hydrocarbon”. The instrument is an air bath, and it is used to determine dropping point of lubricating grease and hydrocarbon over 100 °C.

 

Method Summary

Fill lubricating grease or solid hydrocarbon into a grease cup with a dropping point thermometer. The temperature when the first drop of sample falls from the grease cup or sample of 25 mm flows from test cup under the stipulated heating condition. The temperature is dropping point of the sample.
