Grease Specification Cross Reference

Silmid’s grease specification cross-reference chart provides an easy way to identify equivalent specifications across French, UK, and US military organisations. It helps engineers, technicians, and procurement teams match NATO codes, Joint Service Designations, and airframe approvals to the correct grease product specification. This ensures the right material is selected for maintenance tasks and supports compliance with OEM and regulatory requirements.

Grease Specification Cross Reference Chart

The guide below outlines a range of official specifications assigned to aerospace and defence grease products. It includes corresponding NATO codes, Joint Service Designations, French and UK equivalents, and airframe approvals where applicable.

Before ordering, always verify that the specific product and pack-size combination is certified for your required specification. Refer to your aircraft maintenance manual (AMM), component maintenance manual (CMM), or qualified products list (QPL) for final approval. This information may change at any time.

*Always confirm technical suitability with OEM data sheets before selecting or substituting a grease product.

Why Specification Cross-Referencing Matters

Selecting the correct grease specification is critical for safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. Using a cross-reference chart helps maintenance teams:

  • Match military and NATO specifications accurately
  • Confirm equivalent product designations across regions
  • Ensure greases meet required performance standards
  • Reduce the risk of using a product that does not meet OEM or regulatory specifications

In aerospace, defence, heavy industry, and energy sectors, correct specification identification is essential for both safety and operational consistency.
