Additional information

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers lubricating greases suitable for the periodic relubrication of chassis systems and wheel bearings of passenger cars, trucks, and other vehicles.

1.2 This specification defines the requirements used to describe the properties and performance characteristics of chassis greases and wheel bearing greases for service-fill applications.

1.3 The test requirements (acceptance limits) given in this specification are, as the case may be, minimum or maximum acceptable values for valid duplicate test results. Apply no additional corrections for test precision, such as described in Practice D3244, inasmuch as the precision of the test methods was taken into account in the determination of the requirements.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4.1 Exception—Test Method D2596 reports test results in kgf units. Until that standard is revised, Classification and Specification D4950 will show kgf units in parentheses after the SI units for information only.

AMS 3217/2C	Test Slabs, Acrylonitrile Butadiene (NBR-L)-Low Acrylonitrile, 65-75 With respect to elastomer AMS 3217/2B, the elastomer specification has been superseded by AMS 3217/2C. Per SAE, the 2A and 2B elastomers were identical, however the synthetic lubricant immersion fluid used to reference the elastomer has been exchanged from ARM-200 to AMS 3021. Reference fluid AMS 3021 better represents current market aviation fluids. Elastomers 2B and 2C were compared using NLGI GC-LB reference greases batch 1 and 2 and were found to give similar results.
