Lubricating Grease Testing

Written by Rahul Verma | Updated: September 15, 2025

Lubricating grease is tested extensively by Infinita lab using a wide range of various test methods. Some of our clients are manufacturers of airplanes, industrial facilities, and lubricant companies. When lubricating bearings that are difficult to reach or where lubricating oil would not stay in place, lubricating grease is usually employed. Lubricating greases can also serve as a sealant to prevent corrosion-causing water and particles from entering the system.

For various uses, lubricating greases are available in a variety of viscosities. Lubricating greases can be categorized as water-resistant grease, low-temperature grease, gear grease, anti-corrosion grease, and severe pressure grease according to the grease ingredients and additions (designed for lubrication under heavy loads). Particular greases are referred to as “food-grade,” meaning they can be used on machinery that comes into contact with food without harm. According to a wide range of grease standards, we test all varieties of lubricating greases.

Please contact us to find out if we can carry out the required testing because we are continually increasing our testing capabilities.
