GREASE AS A LUBRICANT:

Governed by a standard called: NLGI-This stands for National Lubricating Grease Institute

RATINGS/GRADES:

ISO 2137 ASTM-WORKED

NLGI PENETRATION AT 25 degrees
Celsius
000 Very soft greases (looks oily) 445-475
00 400-430
0 Soft greases 355-385
1 310-340
2 Medium greases 265-295
3 220-250
4 175-205
5 Hard greases(solid) 130-165
6 85-115
N.B: The worked penetrations are expressed in 1/10e of millimeter and correspond to the
penetration depth of the cone.
 APPLICABILITY OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF GREASES BY COMPOSITION:
1. LITHIUM/CALCIUM SOAP GREASES;

MULTIS Lithium/Calcium soap greases are Multi-purpose greases combining good performance in
regards to Resistance to temperature, résistance to water, pump ability and load resistance
