German term or phrase: Draebepunkt
unfortunately I have almost no context, just that this is on a grease spec. There's not even a temperature to go with it or anything. It's supposed to be German, but I have a suspicion it's either a mutilated form of "dropping point" or it's a different language.
Any ideas?
TIA, Beth

quenching temperature / point


Explanation:
A guess -- quenching is the term used for immersing a hot metal item into a grease or liquid (oil or water usually ) to temper it. Normally, an oils or water is used (oils because they have higher boiling points than water and thus higher quenching temperatures). Greases are used relatively rarely for quenching, but still...

from the ref:
lubricants, chain lubes, penetrating oils, petroleum distillates, chassis grease,
quenching oils, circulating oils, railroad oils, cleaning chemicals, cleaners ...
