SPECIFICATION FOR
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: 1. Materials furnished under this specification may be asphaltic (bitumen) compounds, or blends of a thickener and mineral oils and/or synthetic fluids. They may be in the form of viscous fluids, semi-fluid greases or pastes. 2. Materials furnished under this specification are produced with highly fortified blends of viscous fluids combined with additives to form stable, long lasting, high load carrying, wear resistant films that lubricate under mixed film and boundary conditions. 3. Open gear lubricants supplied under this specification must have excellent adhesive and cohesive qualities, must not chip or throw off, and must provide sufficient film thickness and scuffing resistance to prevent metal to metal contact between applications under all operating conditions. 4. Various grades or consistencies of open gear lubricants may be required to provide proper lubrication and application properties over a wide range of ambient temperatures. The consistency of the lubricant as applied must be appropriate for the method of application, and the in-service consistency shall be appropriate for the lubricant to meet or exceed the minimum performance requirements listed in the "MINIMUM PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS" section.
