ASTM D3336 Test Method for Life of Lubricating Greases in Ball Bearings at Elevated Temperatures
3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 A grease lubricated SAE No. 204 size ball bearing is rotated at 10 000 rpm under light load at a specified elevated temperature. Tests are continued until failure or completion of a specified number of hours of running time.
4. Significance and Use
4.1 This test method can be used to evaluate the ability of grease to provide adequate lubrication for extended periods of ball bearings operating under light loads at high speeds and elevated temperatures.
