Complex or polyurea greases intended for extreme operating environments will feature dropping points clearing 230 °C to 250 °C. 🌍 International Equivalents
In modern laboratory facilities, this process is automated using specialized instrumentation like the Lintel Kaplya-20U or similar specialized drop point devices. 🚜 Relevance in Lubricant Manufacturing gost 6793
The dropping point is a critical physical indicator in tribology (the study of friction and wear). It indicates the specific temperature at which a grease passes from a semi-solid to a liquid state under controlled conditions. 🔍 What is the Dropping Point?

The cup is placed in a test tube alongside a thermometer and steadily heated in a oil or air bath. It indicates the specific temperature at which a
When reading a technical data sheet (TDS) for an industrial or automotive grease manufactured under GOST standards, you will almost always see GOST 6793 cited next to the dropping point specification. For instance:
At the dropping point, the first drop of the sample falls from the test cup.
