Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / motorcycle lubrificant | | French term or phrase: (haute résistance au) cisaillement | | dictionary tells me "cutting" for metal and "pruning" for plants or trees, but that hardly makes sense in this context about a lubrificant. Any help appreciated. |

"Southwestern Petroleum Corp.
Fort Worth, TX 76161 0005
Mar 07, 2003 SWEPCO 121 Tri-Plex Universal Grease provides long life and wide application range. It is based upon Tri-Plex chemistry, combined with polymer modification for tight molecular structure. Tri-Plex chemistry significantly inreases service life, ****shear resistance****, shock and impact resistance, extreme pressure capabilities, and water and high-temperature resistance."

Shear strength
Shear strength is the maximum shear stress that is possible to transmit through a grease without the onset of grease flow. Grease being a semi-solid material can transmit a shear stress also with the shear strain rate zero. The shear strain rate zero grease can be kept on different surfaces of bearings and housings. This is an important parameter when pumping greases through pipes in a centralised lubricating system.
Shear stability
The ability of a lubricating grease to resist the changes in consistency during mechanical working. The working may be a result of either laboratory tests or in actual service. This is also called mechanical stability.

Absolute viscosity is typically measured by a rotary viscometers to determine the torque on rotating spindle and so measure the fluid's shear resistance. Changing the rotor (spindle) dimensions and the gap between the rotor and stator wall (container) and the speed of rotation can change the rate of shear. |
