So I'm looking at different spec sheets for ISO 46 compressor oil. LE, OEM Kaeser (ie.RP), Amsoil and a Noname. It seems they, if they list the four ball test, are each different. Two run the ASTM D-4172 but at different weight, rpm, and temp, and another shows a different ASTM D2783 test all together.
So what am I looking at and does it even matter in a rotary screw application? I tried looking up the ASTM spec/test but it seemed like I'd have to subscribe to find out what they meant.
Hoping you guys could shed some light.
