Grease caters to the lubrication requirement for about 80 to 90 per cent of bearings. Thus grease
lubricates a huge fraction of bearing components of various different industries and the largest
challenge the machinery faces is bearing failure. Grease coats all the machinery surfaces reduces
machinery wear, lubricates the components and reduces friction to ensure smooth movement of the
machinery. Hence a change in the consistency of the grease due to ingressed contaminants, dirt,
water, oxidation, base oil depletion, change in viscosity and stability often leads to the abnormal
running of the machine which causes mechanical issues resulting in machinery failure.
Atlas Lab helps various industries like mining, automotive, marine and heavy industries with
preventive and condition monitoring testing of their greases to improve the productivity of their
machinery and prevent unnecessary downtime. Grease testing is performed by a team of experienced
chemists with over 40 years of cumulative experience. We at Atlas Lab provide an extremely quick
turnaround time for the testing and analysis reporting of your grease samples. We cater to clients
of various industries on a global scale at a cost-effective price.
Atlas Lab tests grease samples as per a wide variety of national and international standards like IS
7623, KS 1508 : 1998, ISO 12924 : 2010, ASTM D128, JIS K 2220, OEM, Defence, SAE, ELGI, NLGI.
