is the state standard used across Russia and the CIS region to define the test method for determining the dropping point of petroleum products, primarily lubricating greases.

In modern laboratory facilities, this process is automated using specialized instrumentation like the Lintel Kaplya-20U or similar specialized drop point devices. 🚜 Relevance in Lubricant Manufacturing

Technicians monitor the cup. The exact temperature recorded on the thermometer when the first drop falls through the bottom hole is officially cataloged as the dropping point.

These multi-purpose greases boast a far higher dropping point, generally exceeding 180 °C under GOST 6793.

Complex or polyurea greases intended for extreme operating environments will feature dropping points clearing 230 °C to 250 °C. 🌍 International Equivalents

If you are working with equipment or grease specified under non-CIS metrics, the procedure outlined in GOST 6793 is highly comparable to the following international standards: or ASTM D2265 (United States) ISO 2176 (International Organization for Standardization) DIN 51801 (Germany)

Note: While identical in premise, subtle variations in heating rates or cup dimensions between these standards can result in slight numerical differences in the final recorded temperature.
