We intend to sample a grease from a crane slew ring bearing. What tests to do for a grease? Are they the same tests for lube oil analysis?

Take a look at the first article here:

I would say in general these are not exactly the same tests as for oil.

Sampling can be tricky as has been discussed in other threads here.

To my knowledge, most people don't do any grease analysis.

Thanks Electricpete! Yes, I'm aware we don't normally test a grease but in this case it was suggested to do so because of a lesson learnt somewhere else.

2 more articles on grease analysis which are more relevant to my application ie slew bearing of a pedestal crane:

Anybody knows a toolkit for grease test and also a lab in Asia for grease analysis?
