ISO/DIS 12925-1

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12925-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 28, Petroleum products and lubricants,
Subcommittee SC 4, Classifications and Specifications, WG10, Classifications and Specifications of gear
lubricants.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO12925-1:1996), which has been technically
revised and including the technical corrigendum ISO12925-1/AC1:2002.
ISO 12925 consists of the following parts, under the general title Lubricants, Industrial oils and related
products (Class L) Family C (Gears):

Part 1: Specifications for lubricants for enclosed gear systems

Part 2: Specifications of open gears lubricants

Part 3: Specifications for greases for enclosed and open gear systems

ISO/DIS 12925-1

Introduction
Lubricants for gear systems are used in diverse types of gear designs, ranging from simple parallel spur to
gears to bevel gears (straight or helical), worm gears and hypoid gears. Industrial gear systems, which are
either of open type or enclosed type, vary in size from small enclosed systems used in machine tools to very
large systems used in mining, steel mills and cement plants.
Lubricants for these applications vary in composition from refined straight mineral oils to more complex
blends, based on mineral oils, synthetic oils (e.g. poly -olefins, esters, polyglycols) and additives friction
modifying and / or extreme-pressure. ISO 3448 viscosity grades vary depending on the type of application and
range from the low viscosity ISO VG 32 to high viscosity ISO VG 1 500, even more for the very low velocities
and very high loads. In exceptional cases, viscosity grades may be even higher. Temperature conditions to
which the gear systems are exposed also vary considerably, not only due to the ambient conditions of
operation, but also depending on the sliding between the gear teeth, on the size of the casings, on the
presence on the circulating systems of heat exchangers, on the vicinity of sources of heat like in the cement
industry or in the steel industry.
Greases may also be used for the splash lubrication of enclosed gears or for the application on open gear
teeth.
The present part of ISO 12925 was first published in 1996 to cover the lubricants applied in enclosed gear
systems gear most currently encountered in the industry. Since the first issue, the requirements for lubricants
for enclosed gear systems have largely changed to suit to new gear technologies and applications. More
demanding requirements have appeared with respect to extreme pressure properties (resistance to micropitting) and to foaming and air release characteristics. This revision of the part 1 of ISO 12925 includes new
requirements with respect to bearings lubrication capabilities (DIN 51819-3), resistance to micro pitting (FVA
procedure n54), foaming (ISO DIS 12152) .
This part of ISO 12925 does not pretend to cover the extreme cases of use in terms of gear design,
temperature and extreme charges conditions. For use in exceptional conditions, suppliers and purchasers of
lubricants should mutually agree on the testing methods and the acceptability criteria of the products, not
covered by this part of ISO 12925.

Lubricants, Industrial oils and related products (Class L)


Family C (Gears) Part 1: Part 1 - Specifications for lubricants
for enclosed gear systems

Scope

The present part of ISO 12925 establishes the specifications relative to family C (gears) for
lubricants, industrial oils and related products of Class L (see ISO 6743-6). This part of ISO 12925
deals only with lubricants for enclosed gear systems. Lubricants for open gears and greases for
gears (enclosed or open) are not covered.
It is advisable to read the present part of ISO 12925 in conjunction with ISO 6743-6. The following
categories of ISO 6743-6: CKB, CKC, CKD, CKS, CKT are covered by the present standard
