SKF Grease test kit TKGT 1

Portable grease analysis kit for field use

Lubricant analysis is a vital part of a predictive maintenance strategy.


Until recently, however, oils were almost always analysed despite the fact that
around 80% of bearings are lubricated with grease. Tribology expertise and
years of research have allowed SKF to develop a complete methodology to
assess grease condition.

• Extremely useful in field decision-making • Allows verification of the suitability of certain • Requires no special training to perform
processes greases in specific applications the tests
• Allows adjustment of grease relubrication • Helps in the prevention of damage due to • Requires no harmful chemicals
