GOST 8773-2022 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ 8773-2022 — Смазка ЦИАТИМ-203. Технические условия (English: Grease CIATIM-203. Specifications). The standard specifies technical requirements, designation and application conditions for the plastic anti-friction grease CIATIM-203 used in mechanisms operating under high specific loads across a wide temperature range.

Abstract

This interstate standard defines the composition, designation, required physical and performance properties, testing and marking requirements for CIATIM-203 grease (literature designation НЛи 5/9–2). It replaces the earlier edition and sets mandatory specifications for manufacture, acceptance and use of the grease in mechanical assemblies operating at temperatures from −50 °C to +90 °C.

Scope

The standard applies to the plastic anti-friction grease CIATIM-203 intended for lubrication of mechanisms and machine elements operating under high specific loads at temperatures from −50 °C to +90 °C. It covers designation, technical requirements, sampling and test methods, marking and packaging requirements for the grease (designation under GOST 23258 — НЛи 5/9–2).

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and designation of CIATIM-203 grease and its classification (product code/marking under national classification systems).
• Requirements for base oils and thickening system (typical CIATIM-203 is produced from mineral oils thickened with lithium soap; typical technological notes referenced in product descriptions).
• Operational performance: permitted temperature range (−50 °C to +90 °C) and suitability for high specific loads.
• Physical and mechanical properties to be verified by tests (consistency, dropping point, penetration, wear/load performance and other specified laboratory tests referenced in the standard).
• Requirements for sampling, acceptance rules, marking, packaging and storage consistent with interstate standard practices.

Typical use and users

CIATIM-203 grease per this standard is used by industrial manufacturers, maintenance departments, bearing and gear suppliers, railway and heavy-transport OEMs, lubricant producers and quality laboratories. Typical applications are heavily loaded bearings, couplings and mechanisms requiring a wide temperature-operating window and high boundary-load performance. Product managers and procurement teams reference the standard for specification and acceptance criteria.

Related standards

The standard cites and references related interstate and national normative documents (examples include GOST 23258 for grease designation and various measurement/testing standards referenced in normative links). GOST 8773-2022 supersedes GOST 8773-73 and was developed with reference to general interstate standardization rules (e.g., standards in the series ГОСТ 1.0 / 1.2 and measurement system requirements).
