Smooth lipid common terms

Age hardening: smooth grease consistency with the storage time increased. Appearance: visual inspection to see only smooth features, usually include overall appearance, texture, color and luster, etc. The overall appearance: lubrication, rough, grain, oil, etc. Texture: creamy, elastic, wire drawing. Colors: red, blue, yellow, white, etc. , can also add restrictions adjective 'light', 'medium' 'deep', etc. Sheen: shiny, matte, etc. Consistency: consistency refers to the plastic material under the action of external force to resist deformation levels. Cone into the degrees: cone into the degree of fat is a smooth consistency of a measure. , the greater the cone into the fat, the more soft. The level of consistency: NLGI ( The American association of smooth fat) Divided into nine grades, from 000 to 6, a total of nine. Mechanical stability: smooth fat was mechanical shear can resist a consistency of change, consistency change value is smaller, the better mechanical stability. Thixotropy: smooth fat was shear, decrease of consistency, the suspension of shear, the nature of the consistency and increase. Water resistance: smooth fat against washed away from the bearing ability, resist because of absorb the moisture and lipid structure destruction, when the water to avoid corrosion to metal appearance. Colloid stability: smooth and fat oil against points to. Similar viscosity: usually smooth fat along with the increase of cutting speed and smaller viscosity, viscosity so fat called similar viscosity or apparent viscosity.
