Grease DIN spec interpretation

Read our primer articles on Grease Guns and Oil Sight Glasses.

Good Morning!

I have been asked for a grease conforming to the following spec: DIN 51825 KP2K-20.

Can anybody interpret this for me? As I understand it, the 'P' denotes EP additives, and the '-20' denotes a minimum temperature, but that in itself isn't much use, and is it correct?

Regards
Thomas

K indicates a bearing grease.

P indicates EP additive type.

2 indicates NLGI 2 type.

K indicates upper operating temperature of 120 Deg.C.

-20 indicates the lower operating temperature of (-) 20 deg.c.

I haven't seen this question earlier.

Thank you, Vssarma. It's quite a broad specification and it will be easy to find a suitable grease.
