4. Total Acid Number (TAN): Evaluate acidity levels to gauge lubricant degradation and potential for corrosive damage.

5. Flash and Fire Point: Measure the temperatures at which lubricant vapors ignite and sustain combustion, ensuring safe operation in demanding railroad environments.

6. Oxidation Stability: Assess resistance to oxidation, crucial for maintaining lubricant integrity over extended service periods.

7. Foaming Characteristics: Determine the lubricant's tendency to foam, which can affect its effectiveness and lead to equipment damage.

8. Four-Ball Wear Test: Evaluate the lubricant's anti-wear properties under high-pressure conditions, simulating real-world railroad applications.
