GOST 1036-2014 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 1036-2014 — "Смазки пластичные. Метод определения содержания механических примесей" (Plastic lubricants. Method for determination of mechanical impurities content). The standard specifies a laboratory method to determine the mass fraction of mechanical (insoluble) impurities in plastic (grease) lubricants that are not soluble in an alcohol–toluene mixture and hot distilled water.

Abstract

This intergovernmental (GOST) standard defines apparatus, reagents, sampling and a stepwise extraction/filtration procedure (extraction with an alcohol–toluene mixture, washing with hot distilled water, drying and weighing of the residue) to quantify mechanical impurities in greases. It is intended for quality control, conformity assessment and laboratory testing of plastic lubricants.

General information

• Status: Active (implemented as a national standard of the Russian Federation by Rosstandart).
• Publication date: Designation year 2014; introduced into force as a national standard on 1 July 2016 (order dated 21 May 2015).
• Publisher: Published in official collections by the national standards information publishers (issued by Rosstandart / Стандартинформ).
• ICS / categories: ICS 75.100 (petroleum and related technologies — lubricants and related materials).
• Edition / version: GOST 1036-2014 (current edition replacing the older 1975 version).
• Number of pages: Approximately 8–10 pages (publisher editions list a 10‑page version; some collections list 8 pages).

Scope

The standard applies to plastic greases (plastic lubricants) without powder additives and establishes the laboratory procedure for determining the mass fraction of mechanical impurities insoluble in an alcohol–toluene solvent mixture and in hot distilled water. It is intended for use in production quality control, acceptance testing and regulatory conformity procedures for lubricants and related products.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of mechanical (insoluble) impurities relevant to plastic lubricants.
• Specification of apparatus and laboratory glassware (extraction head, condenser, paper cartridge, evaporating dishes, heating device, wash apparatus).
• Reagents and solvent system: alcohol–toluene mixture and hot distilled water for washing the residue.
• Sampling and sample preparation procedures to ensure representative test portions.
• Stepwise extraction procedure (reflux extraction until decolorization), filtration on a paper cartridge, repeated washing in hot distilled water, drying and mass determination of residue.
• Calculation methods for expressing mass fraction of mechanical impurities and reporting of results.
• Reference to normative requirements and conformity considerations for lubricants under relevant technical regulations.

Typical use and users

Used by lubricant manufacturers, quality control and analytical laboratories, certification bodies, material procurement teams and R&D groups working with grease formulations. It supports manufacturers and testing labs in acceptance testing, batch release and demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements for lubricants.

Related standards

Standards and technical regulations commonly referenced alongside GOST 1036-2014 include other test methods for oils and lubricants (e.g., standards for insolubles in spent oils, methods for sediment and traces), national GOST methods for laboratory glassware, and regional technical regulations on lubricants and oil products. GOST 1036-2014 replaced the earlier GOST 1036-75.
