Tech/Engineering
German term or phrase: Walkpenetration
Some kind of characteristic:

Partikelgröße: Tropfpunkt: Walkpenetration: Flammpunkt: Charakteristische Kennwerte:
50,8 µm + 182 °C 300 mm/10 bis 350 mm/10 + 260 °C Weitere Prüfungen ...

English translation:(worked) penetration
Explanation:
Not my field, but this appears to be the term in English and a DIN Norm for lubricant performance at 25°C. I found some German explanations in an online pdf by FAG "Schmierstoff für Walzlager" (see below), then looked for penetration +25C

One weasly way out might be the Latvian for "Penetration (measured) at 25°C" as not all the English google hits include worked/unworked penetration.

Perhaps someone else can enlighten us.

The FAG bits:
Walkpenetration
Penetration von Schmierfetten, gemessen
bei 25 °C, nach der Behandlung der Probe
im Fettkneter (DIN 51 804 T2 und
DIN ISO 2137).

Penetration
Die Penetration ist ein Maß für die Konsistenz
eines Schmierfettes. Sie wird festgestellt,
indem man einen genormten
Kegel in ein mit Fett gefülltes Gefäß eindringen
läßt und die Eindringtiefe – in
Zehntel mm – mißt (Einsinkdauer 5 s).

Im Handel wird die sogenannte Walkpenetration bei 25 °C angegeben. Die Walkpenetration ist ebenfalls eine Eindringtiefe, nur muß das Fett vorher unter genau festgelegten Bedingungen durchgewalkt
werden. Die Penetrationsklassen reichen von 000 bis 6 (DIN 51 818).

Hi Uldis, I assume from your other posts that you read some German, but sorry for not translating the bits above. As a layperson, I\'d describe it in English as a measure of viscosity, since the method of measurement is to see how far an object penetrates the lubricant in 5 seconds at 25 °C.
The key part (for my limited understanding) is in the middle: Penetration is a measure of the consistency of a lubricant. It is determined by dropping a standard ball (cone?) into a container full of grease and measuring the depth of penetration after 5 s in tenths of a mm.
The \"walk\" part means something like stirred or kneaded, hence \"worked\" as in \"worked through,\" which is what is done to the lubricant in the \"Fettkneter\" (\"grease kneader\") before the ball is dropped in, and the measurement has to be done at 25 °C.

agree  Dr. Fred Thomson: If this is about lubricants, I agree with the answer "worked penetration."
5 mins
agree  Cabane: Hello fellows, i reistered only for this^^. It means Walkpenetration is the Penetration of lubricants which is measured at 25C, after it was kneaded in the grease kneader. the second part is already translated perfectly, they are talking about a cone.
