ASTM D4048 - Copper Corrosion from Lubricating Grease

 

We perform grease quality and conformance testing by ASTM D4048 to measure how corrosive lubricating grease is to copper. A strip of copper is immersed in the grease sample at a specific temperature for a period of time. (Times and temperatures can vary.) At the end of the test the copper is washed and examined for corrosion.

We also perform copper corrosion testing by ASTM D1275, ASTM D130, DIN 51811, FTM 5305, IP 315, ISO 2160, ISO 5662, MIL-PRF-372E §4.3.2, and MIL-PRF-46002 §4.2.3.3. These different test methods use different instruments or procedures or are used for certain sample types. Click on the test method number to learn more about each test.
