English term or phrase: all NLGI
this is about specifications of a military grease

Military Grease (all NLGI)


The NLGI consistency number (sometimes called “NLGI grade”) expresses a measure of the relative hardness of a grease used for lubrication, as specified by the standard classification of lubricating grease established by the National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI).



I just don't know how this "all" is translated here in this context

Alle NLGIs (or: Alle NLGI-Klassen)
Explanation:
Without more context, a bit difficult. If the NLGI consistency number (NLGI-Konsistenzzahl) is meant, "alle NLGIs" would work.

"Die Konsistenzkennzahl wird auch als NLGI-Klasse nach DIN 51818 angegeben."
(https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmierfett)

"The measure of the consistency of a lubricating grease is commonly expressed by its NLGI consistency number"
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Lubricating_Grease_In...


The web address below with "alle NLGI-Klassen" is about food, not any usage in the military though.
