Description / Abstract:
FOREWORD
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Industrial Lubricants
Committee has developed a number of industrial, non-production
lubricant performance specifications.
The purpose of these voluntary SAE specifications is to:
a. Define minimum performance requirements for industrial
lubricants.
b. Provide lubricant suppliers with performance targets for a
minimum number of key industrial lubricants.
c. Improve the availability of these lubricants to member
companies.
d. Provide a plant oriented, user friendly, classification
system using common test standards and properties.
ISO Standard 6743 - Lubricants, industrial oils and related
products (class L) - Classification is the foundation for these
documents.
a. Performance characteristics and test procedures are
specified.
b. For information, equivalent ISO, DIN, CEN, BSI, ASTM, AFNOR,
CETOP, and IP test methods are referenced.1
Industrial lubricant classifications targeted:
a. Lubricants, Industrial Oils and Related Products -
Classification (SAE MS1000)
b. General purpose and total loss lubricants (SAE MS1001)
c. Gear oils (SAE MS1002)
d. Compressor oils (SAE MS1003)
e. Hydraulic fluids (SAE MS1004)
f. Fire resistant hydraulic fluids (SAE MS1005)
g. Lubricants for spindle bearings and associated clutches (SAE
MS1006)
h. Metal removal fluids (SAE MS1008)
i. Lubricants for pneumatic tools (SAE MS1009)
j. Turbine oils (SAE MS1010)
k. Lubricating greases (SAE MS1011)
See SAE MS1000 - Index of lubricants and symbols.
NOTE: Environmental, Technical Reports, and/or health and safety
regulations may present additional specifications to the
supplier.
