FUNDAMENTALS OF LUBRICATION: PART FIVE. LUBRICANT TESTS: NON‐NEWTONIAN FLOW, GREASE VISCOSITY AND SHEAR STABILITY

Abstract

A series of articles dealing, in as simple a way as possible, with the basic facts of lubrication, lubricants, their selection and prescription, specification, application, and testing. This series is primarily intended for students, engineering personnel who may be unfamiliar with certain aspects and others who, one way or another, are interested in this important subject. Part One in our March 1965 Issue dealt with Friction, Lubrication and Wear. Part Two in July dealt with Mineral Oils and their Additives. Part Three, in September and October dealt with Lubricating Greases. Part Four in December and January covered the Purpose and Significance of Lubricant Tests.
