Grease caters to the lubrication requirement for about 80 to 90 per cent of bearings. Thus grease lubricates a huge fraction of bearing components of various different industries and the largest challenge the machinery faces is bearing failure.

Wilfred laboratories helps various industries like mining, automotive, marine and heavy industries with preventive and condition monitoring testing of their greases to improve the productivity of their machinery and prevent unnecessary downtime.

Wilfred laboratories tests grease samples as per a wide variety of national and international standards like IS 7623, KS 1508 : 1998, ISO 12924 : 2010, ASTM D128, JIS K 2220, OEM, Defence, SAE, ELGI, NLGI.

What are the benefits of Grease Testing?

Reduction of maintenance cost
Reduction in unscheduled downtime
Reduction in power consumption of machinery
Reduction in installation errors
Improvement in the reliability of the machinery

Routine grease testing which will ensure

Bearing condition in the machinery
Critical wear in the machinery
Contamination and degradation level
Level of wear metals present in the grease
Suitability of the grease with respect to specific machinery
Oxidation stability
Condition of the system
Re-greasing frequency – intervals used for re-greasing
Greasing capacity – volume of grease required for optimum performance of the machine
Root cause analysis behind failure and abnormal wear
