This is the described in the scope. It involves:
By calculating the exact thermal load, engineers can avoid overheating, which is a leading cause of gear scuffing and oil failure.
: Determines the absolute limit of power a gearbox can safely handle before exceeding its maximum allowable oil temperature.

The standard segments power losses into load-dependent losses (mechanical friction) and no-load losses (hydraulic churning) across three main categories:
ISO/TR 14179-2:2001 - Gears — Thermal capacity — Part 2: Thermal load-carrying capacity This is the described in the scope
ISO/TR 14179-2 provides valuable guidance on the preparation of standards for the determination of radionuclide concentrations in food and environmental samples. The report facilitates the harmonization of measurement methods, improves accuracy and precision, and enhances comparability of results. The report is recommended for laboratories, regulatory bodies, and research institutions involved in radionuclide measurements.

: Providing analytical methods for individual components of power loss and heat dissipation as an alternative to direct measurement. Key Technical Components
is a technical report titled "Gears — Thermal capacity — Part 2: Thermal load-carrying capacity". It provides analytical methods and practical measurement procedures to determine the amount of power a gear unit can transmit without exceeding specific temperature limits. Key Content & Purpose
The original German precursor to this report (FVA 345) was developed using gearboxes from wind turbine prototypes in the 1990s – where a single scuffing failure meant a 50-meter climb to change oil. The entire thermal dissipation library in Section 5 of the TR is actually . So when you read the PDF today, you are peeking at the failures that helped modern wind turbines survive.
The standard emphasizes evaluating actual, original gear units operating under practical conditions. Testing focuses on three key physical indicators:
