ISO 14635:2023

Description

This document specifies a test method based on a FZG four-square test machine to determine the relative load-carrying capacity of lubricating oils defined by the gear-surface damage known as scuffing. High surface temperatures due to high surface pressures and sliding velocities can initiate the breakdown of the lubricant films. This test method can be used to assess such lubricant breakdown under defined conditions of temperature, high sliding velocity and stepwise increased load.

NOTE            This method is technically equivalent to ASTM D 5182-19 and CEC L-07-A-95.
