Water Washout Characteristics of Lubricating Greases – ASTM D1264

The Water Washout Characteristics of Lubricating Greases Apparatus is a CE-marked laboratory instrument designed for precise evaluation of grease resistance to water washout under controlled conditions. Fully compliant with ASTM D1264 and IP 215, this apparatus measures how lubricating greases perform at 38°C and 79°C (100°F and 175°F) in simulated bearing conditions. Ideal for quality control, R&D, and industrial grease testing.

LT/WW-205600/M – Water Washout Grease Apparatus (ASTM D1264)
• Thermostatic cabinet with touch panel control for precise temperature regulation.
• Digital timer and adjustable bath temperature control.
• Motor speed rotation: low-voltage electric motor directly coupled to a 600 RPM shaft.
• Heating: 2 × 175 W stainless steel heaters.
• Bearings: two 6204 type bearings with complete block assembly.
• Water delivery: low-voltage water pump with a flow rate of 300 ml/min ±10% and an electric open/close valve.
• Flow management: manual regulator valve, bypass tube, and recovery system with external drain tap.
• Temperature sensing: PT100 bath sensor for accurate measurement.
• Cooling system: integrated fan for electronics and bath homogeneity.

Applications
• Evaluates lubricating grease resistance to water washout at controlled temperatures.
• Ensures quality control and product consistency for industrial and automotive greases.
• Ideal for grease R&D, formulation testing, and compliance verification.
• Not intended to replace full-scale service evaluation tests.
