This standard BS ISO 21250-1:2020 Rolling bearings. Noise testing of rolling bearing greases is classified in these ICS categories:
21.100.20 Rolling bearings
This document specifies:
basic principles, testing assembly and the test machine for noise testing of rolling bearing greases;
symbols used in the test methods BQ+, MQ and NQ.
This document is applicable for testing rolling bearing greases, especially of unused grease.
NOTE
Suitable greases are greases of NLGI classes 1 to 3 according to DIN 51818[6]. Suitable greases for lubrication of rolling bearings are especially greases according to ISO 12924 . The test method according to this document delivers meaningful results for rolling bearings; however, it can also be applied for greases in similar applications [12][13].
