Gost 6793 May 2026

The dropping point is a critical physical indicator in tribology (the study of friction and wear). It indicates the specific temperature at which a grease passes from a semi-solid to a liquid state under controlled conditions. 🔍 What is the Dropping Point?

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) gost 6793

Complex or polyurea greases intended for extreme operating environments will feature dropping points clearing 230 °C to 250 °C. 🌍 International Equivalents The dropping point is a critical physical indicator

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. If you are working with equipment or grease

When reading a technical data sheet (TDS) for an industrial or automotive grease manufactured under GOST standards, you will almost always see GOST 6793 cited next to the dropping point specification. For instance:

The standard outlining the procedure is officially recognized as . Testing typically follows these specific parameters:

This measurement serves as a benchmark for a lubricant’s heat resistance, defining the maximum temperature it can endure before losing its structural integrity. ⚙️ How the GOST 6793 Test Works
