In either case, it is of interest to know the exact conductivity values of those lubricants. However, no technical standard is available so far on measuring electric conductivity of oil or grease at film thicknesses (1 mm and below). In this work, a measurement cell for simulating the electrical regime of a real bearing conceptually is developed and used with a set of greases. The investigated greases had all quite similar specific resistances, which were all within the variation regime of the total set of greases. The measurements worked satisfactorily for gap widths, i.e. lubricating film thicknesses, of 1 mm and 1\/10 mm, respectively. Lubricating films in real bearings typically have a thickness of a few mikrons. Measurements in the test- setup at 1\/100 mm gap width showed nonsatisfying results in terms of reproducibility. Some causes are further investigated and possible solutions proposed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Ehrlich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639357086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639357080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.17d","brand":"Thomas Ehrlich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48446283907327,"sku":"9783639357080","price":52.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f2f5401-3dcf-42fb-a454-d6eb6bebb6aa.jpg?v=1777223708","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/electrical-conductivity-measurements-of-lubrication-thomas-ehrlich-9783639357080","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
