Gost | 6793

is the state standard used across Russia and the CIS region to define the test method for determining the dropping point of petroleum products, primarily lubricating greases.

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

Technicians monitor the cup. The exact temperature recorded on the thermometer when the first drop falls through the bottom hole is officially cataloged as the dropping point. is the state standard used across Russia and

Note: While identical in premise, subtle variations in heating rates or cup dimensions between these standards can result in slight numerical differences in the final recorded temperature. The exact temperature recorded on the thermometer when

If you are working with equipment or grease specified under non-CIS metrics, the procedure outlined in GOST 6793 is highly comparable to the following international standards: or ASTM D2265 (United States) ISO 2176 (International Organization for Standardization) DIN 51801 (Germany)

A small grease sample is packed into a specialized metal cup with a standardized hole at the bottom.

Formulated under GOST 1033-79, these are intended for low-temperature applications up to about 65 °C. Their dropping points typically register on the lower end, around 75 °C to 100 °C.
