The greases have been classified according to the operating conditions under which they are used, because the versatile nature of greases makes it impractical to classify them according to end use. It will therefore be necessary to consult the supplier to be certain that the grease can be used in; for example, rolling bearings or pumped supply systems, and also concerning the compatibility of products (see Remarks in Table 1).
This index provides an overview of lubricants and symbols for the purpose of assisting the user in the identification of the appropriate product and relevant SAE specification. The aim is to better determine the best lubricant to be used for a particular application. If containers used for shipping lubricants are also to be marked, the same identification and symbols should be used. See also ISO 5169 Machine tools - Presentation of lubrication instructions.
ISO 7745 shall be used for providing detailing, operational characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and factors affecting the choice to be made among fire-resistant fluids. HFAE, HFC, HFDR, HFDU and HETG oils are covered in this specification. HFAS, HFB and HFDS fluids are not addressed.
