ASTM WK92123
Greases are widely used in the rail industry for a range of applications. One such use is in the rail-wheel contact where grease products are used to control friction and noise. This standard focusses on determining the performance of greases used in the flange area of the wheel, known as Flange Lubricants and Dual Use Lubricants (which can be used for either the flange and the top of the rail). One industry accepted method for determining this performance of flange lubricants is through the generation of a creep curve.
