Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This standard covers lubricants intended for use in enclosed and semi-enclosed industrial gear systems employing the following types of gears where tooth pressures and pitch line velocities are such that the use of straight mineral oil is unsuitable: a) Spur; b) Straight bevel; c) Spiral bevel; d) Worm; e) Herring-bone; and f) Helical.
2 This third revision has been brought out to keep pace with the latest technological developments and international practices. Accordingly, the Committee has drawn considerable assistance from the latest specification of American Gear Manufacturers Association, ANSI/AGMA 9005-F16, March 2016 ‘Industrial Gear Lubrication’. The major changes made are mentioned below: a) Values for demulsibility of R & O type and EP lubricants have been updated; b) Requirement of air release value for lubricants has been removed; c) Requirement of Timken EP test for EP lubricants has been removed; d) FZG test requirement has been updated; and e) Referee test methods have been updated.
