scope:
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the loss in mass by evaporation of lubricating greases and oils for applications where evaporation loss is a factor. Evaporation loss data can be obtained at any temperature in the range from 100?°C to 150?°C (210?°F to 300?°F).
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
1.2.1 Exception-The values given in parentheses are for information only.
