Unrivaled precision.
About Our Grease Testing Capabilities
We cater to a diverse clientele, including grease manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, and industrial plants.
Lubricating grease plays a crucial role in lubricating hard-to-reach bearings and acts as a protective seal against water and particulates, preventing corrosion. Our testing services cover a wide variety of grease specifications to ensure optimal performance and quality.
Lubricating greases come in various NLGI grades and chemistries tailored for specific applications. Our tests encompass water-resistant, low-temperature, gear, anti-corrosion, and extreme pressure greases. We also offer testing for ‘food-grade’ greases, ensuring safety in equipment that comes in contact with food.
Explore our common tests and specifications listed on our site, and rest assured that our expertise extends to testing almost any lubricant type, even those without existing specifications. If you’re seeking a specific test or specification not currently available, contact us. We are continually expanding our capabilities, ready to set up new methods, and have a vast network of labs for collaboration. Your lubricating grease testing needs are in capable hands with SPL Arlington.
