Classically, grease consistency is defined by the NLGI class (from 000 \u2013\u00a0fluid to 6 \u2013\u00a0very hard). The classic measurement of grease consistency is the penetration test, which involves gravitationally dropping a\u00a0cone into the grease under standardized conditions. The result of the test is the depth of immersion of the cone in the grease, which is translated into the consistency class. This is a\u00a0static measurement that has little to do with simulating the work of grease in the bearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">In order to make the measurement of grease consistency more realistic to the actual operating conditions of the grease, a\u00a0method for measuring consistency in dynamic conditions was developed. The test is performed on the GTA (Grease Thief Analyzer) device, and the test result is the GTS index.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t      \t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n

    <p class=\"post__paragraph\">The analysis consists in measuring the force with which grease must be extruded from the sampler (so-called grease thief) through a\u00a0special die (die extrusion), and thus shows the ability of the grease to move during the operation of a\u00a0given system, e.g. a\u00a0bearing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">From a\u00a0diagnostic point of view (for grease and operational safety), the GTS index analysis is more reliable than a\u00a0static measurement of grease penetration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">Testing on the GTA device, in addition to dynamic consistency, allows for the diagnosis of the condition of the lubricated device by determining the concentration and classification of particles in the grease, which illustrates the life processes in which the particles were created.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">The only GTA device in Europe according to the above specification is available at the Ecol Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t      \t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n                \n          \n        \n      <\/article>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section

Element of the Month<\/h3>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\"><b>Lit (\u0142ac.\u00a0lithium)<\/b> \u2013 Lithium has a\u00a0very low density, which makes it the lightest metal in the periodic table. At room temperature, it is solid and, due to its low density, it is able to float on water. Lithium is used in the production of glass, ceramics, in lithium-ion cells and as a\u00a0component of lubricants, which is its third most common use. Lithium in lubricants occurs in the form of lithium soap, which is a\u00a0thickener for the production of lubricants. Lithium greases are widely used as all-purpose high-temperature greases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">A decrease in the level of this element in grease diagnostics may indicate the use of a\u00a0grease other than lithium grease or the separation of the thickener from the oil base, which leads to grease degradation. The presence or absence of lithium can also be used to identify the type of grease. In the case of oil testing, this element does not appear at all, and when it does appear, its presence is associated with contamination of the oil with grease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post__paragraph\">Lithium in its free form reacts very quickly with water and oxygen from the air. Due to its high reactivity, it is most often stored in mineral oils.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t      \t\t\t\t\t      <\/div>\n                \n          \n        \n
