The drop point of a grease is the temperature at which it

  • A.becomes hard enough to resist penetration
  • B.reaches its maximum consistency
  • C.begins to flow and the first drop falls
  • D.loses its oil entirely by evaporation

Answer: C

Correct answer: begins to flow and the first drop falls

The drop point is measured by warming a sample until the thickener structure collapses and the first drop falls from the cup, and it marks the upper temperature at which the grease will hold together. It is not the maximum service temperature, which is set well below it because the grease softens before it drops.
