LUBRICATION SPECIFICATIONS
FOR GENERAL ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT
(OFFHIGHWAY)

INTRODUCTION
For longer mechanical equipment and bearing life,
only lubricants which meet specifications established by
the General Electric Company and by controlled field
tests should be used.
GE specification numbers for approved lubricants
are included in this publication.

In order to establish standards for comparison, the

American Society For Testing Materials (ASTM) has devised a series of tests which are common to the industry.
Some of these tests are described in Table 1.

GE SPECIFICATIONS FOR
OILS AND GREASES
The recommended greases and approved sources
for OffHighway applications are specified in Table 2.

Description Of Test
The penetration of a test cone dropped into the grease
is measured after the grease has been worked.
The grease is heated until the oil begins to separate
from the thickener.
The flow of oil through an orifice of a designated size
is measured.
The rate at which the grease absorbs oxygen over a
given amount of time is measured.
The rate at which the oil will flow out of the heated
grease and evaporate is measured.
A mirror finished piece of copper is submersed in the
grease for an extended period, then checked to see if
the surface of the copper is adversely affected.

NOTE: Also tested is the amount of free acid or alkali, the percentage of soap content, and many other factors which affect grease quality and purity. After a grease has passed all the laboratory tests, it
is subjected to extensive field testing.

Revisions are indicated by marginal bars.
