IS 1448 : Part 90 : 2008 /ISO 11009 : 2000 Methods of Test for Petroleum and its Products - Part 90 : Petroleum Products and Lubricants - Determination of Water Washout Characteristics of Lubricating Greases

National Foreword

This Indian Standard [P : 90] (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 11009 :2000 ‘Petroleum products and lubricants — Determination of water washout characteristics of lubricating greases’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Methods of Measurement and Test for Petroleum, Petroleum Products and Lubricants Sectional Committee and approval of the Petroleum, Coal and Related Products I Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1979. The committee has decided to revise this Indian Standard to completely align it with ISO 11009:2000 and publish under dual numbering system. Consequently the title of the standard has been modified.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
