1.1 ,This test method covers the determination of the load-carrying capacity of lubricating fluids by means of the Timken Extreme Pressure Tester.
Note 1: ,This test method is suitable for testing fluids having a viscosity of less than about 5000 ,cSt (5000 ,mm2/s) at 40 ,°,C. For testing fluids having a higher viscosity, refer to Note 5 in 9.1.
