GOST 5702-75 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 5702-75 — Process grease СП-3 (Смазка технологическая СП-3). Technical specifications for the technological (process) grease SP-3 used as a lubricating‑cooling composition in metalworking and, in certain formulations, as a hydraulic/work fluid.

Abstract

GOST 5702-75 establishes composition, quality requirements, test methods, acceptance rules, packaging, marking, transportation and storage provisions, and manufacturer guarantees for the process grease designated СП-3 (SP-3). The standard was approved in 1975 and came into force on January 1, 1976; it has four recorded amendments (1980, 1982, 1985, 1992) and was reprinted with amendments in later editions. It replaces the earlier GOST 5702-51.

General information

• Status: Active / in force (with amendments).
• Publication date: Approved March 12, 1975; effective January 1, 1976.
• Publisher: Государственный комитет стандартов СССР (Gosstandart of the USSR); later maintained as an interstate/GOST standard and reissued by standards publishers.
• ICS / categories: OKS/ICS 75.100 (lubricants, industrial oils and related products); Group B28.
• Edition / version: Original GOST 5702-75 (1976) with Amendments No. 1–4 (published 1980, 1982, 1985, 1992); reprint editions issued (notably a 1996 reprint with amendments).
• Number of pages: 9 pages (standard text length).

Scope

The standard applies to technological (process) grease SP-3 intended for use in operations such as rolling and processing of non‑ferrous metals and their alloys, and in certain cases as a working hydraulic fluid. It defines the product’s required physicochemical properties, permissible limits, sampling and test methods, acceptance criteria, packaging and storage rules, and safety requirements. The document is intended for manufacturers, testing laboratories and users who need to ensure conformity of SP-3 to established technical requirements.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and intended applications of SP-3 process grease (metalworking lubricant, emulsion form for cutting/rolling operations, possible use as nonflammable hydraulic fluid).
• Physicochemical requirements: appearance, density, kinematic viscosity, water content, ash/corrosion effect, acidity (acid number), flash point and other quality parameters with permissible limits.
• Composition guidance: mineral oil base with emulsifiers, corrosion inhibitors and other functional additives; recommended components and solvent types referenced in amendments.
• Sampling and test methods: sampling procedures and unified test methods, with references to other GOSTs for specific test techniques (e.g., methods for viscosity, acid number, corrosion tests and thermometric measurements).
• Rules of acceptance: criteria for batch acceptance, handling of nonconforming batches and dispute testing rules.
• Packaging, marking, transportation and storage: approved container types (drums, cans), marking requirements including “stir before use,” storage conditions and shelf considerations.
• Manufacturer guarantees and safety requirements: declared shelf/guarantee period, safety and handling instructions for industrial use.

Typical use and users

Primary users include metalworking and rolling mills (especially for non‑ferrous metals), producers of cutting and rolling lubricants, maintenance and plant engineering departments, procurement and quality control laboratories, customs and regulatory bodies assessing product classification, and technical designers specifying process fluids for equipment. Typical uses are as a water‑emulsifiable lubricating‑cooling composition for cutting, rolling and forming, and in some formulations as a fire‑safe hydraulic/work fluid.

Related standards

GOST 5702-75 replaces GOST 5702-51 and references multiple GOSTs for test methods and related materials, for example standards covering sampling and test methods, thermometers, steel and aluminium test specimens, marking/packaging/transportation of petroleum products, and specific solvent and oil grades (examples: GOST 2517, GOST 1050 series, GOST 1510 series and other referenced GOSTs updated by the amendments). Users commonly consult the listed referenced GOSTs when applying the standard.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 5702-75 is the Soviet / interstate standard that specifies technical conditions for the process grease designated СП-3 (SP-3), including composition, quality parameters, test methods, acceptance, packaging and safety provisions. It was approved in 1975 and came into force on January 1, 1976.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the intended applications (metalworking, rolling of non‑ferrous metals, possible hydraulic use), required physicochemical properties and limits, sampling and laboratory test methods, acceptance rules, packaging/marking/transportation/storage requirements, manufacturer guarantees and safety obligations.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of SP-3 and similar process greases, metalworking and rolling plants, maintenance engineers, procurement and quality control laboratories, testing agencies and regulatory or customs authorities that need to classify or verify compliance of SP-3 products.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard GOST 5702-75 remains in force with recorded amendments (notably in 1980, 1982, 1985 and 1992) and has been reissued in later printings. It replaced GOST 5702-51. Users should check national/regional standards repositories or regulatory authorities for the latest status or any newer national/industry adaptations.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the GOST system of standards for lubricants, industrial oils and related products and is linked by references to other GOSTs that define test methods, materials and handling for petroleum‑based products. It is grouped under the technical area/OKS (ICS) for lubricants and related products.
