ASTM D5800 Evaporation Loss Of Lubricating Oils By The Noack Method
The evaporation loss is of particular importance in engine lubrication. Where high temperatures occur, portions of an oil can evaporate. Evaporation may contribute to oil consumption in an engine and can lead to a change in the properties of an oil. Many engine manufacturers specify a maximum allowable evaporation loss. Some engine manufacturers, when specifying a maximum allowable evaporation loss, quote this test method along with the specifications.

ASTM D972 Evaporation Loss For Lubricating Grease
The loss of volatile materials from greases and oils can adversely effect the original performance characteristics of a lubricant and therefore could be a significant factor in evaluating a lubricant for a specific use. Such volatiles can also be considered contaminants in the environment in which the lubricant is to be used. Correlation between results from this test method and service performance has not been established.
