load stage
Explanation:
The rig is operated at 1450 rpm through up to 12 progressive load stages at 15 minute intervals. Standard tests are run at a fluid temperature of 90oC, though the MERCON®-V/SP test is run at 150oC. Gear teeth are inspected after each load stage for scuffing. In addition to a visual evaluation of gear tooth condition, gear weight loss is measured.

Full-scale gear tests are commonly used to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of lubricants intended for use in gearbox, axle, and hydraulic systems. The FZG load stage gear test is among the most commonly used procedures in industry

neutral  Barbara Schmidt, M.A. (X): Hi Cillie, I found the term 'power level' as well. However, since it is being used by a single source only, I decided against it. I prefer terms that are generally used in this context.

Reference: FZG-Test

Reference information:
FZG =
Forschungsstelle für Zahnräder und Getriebe

FZG-Test =
mechanische Prüfung von Getriebe-Schmierstoffen in einer Zahnrad-Verspannungs-Prüfmaschine; Grenzbeanspruchbarkeit der Getriebeöle wird ermittelt; weitere Eigenschaften, wie Flankenglättung, Schaumneigung und Korrosionsverhalten, werden bei diesem Test nach dem Augenschein beurteilt. Als Ergebnis werden die erreichte Schadens-Kraftstufe (1-12,12= größte Belastung) sowie der spezifische Verschleiß neben weiteren Einzelheiten angegeben:

So maybe the 'correct' term is actually "Schadens-Kraftstufe", as here it is again in an official-looking specification sheet from Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH.

"Schadens-Kraftstufe" —> "Failure Load Stage"?

Alternatively "Schadenskraftstufe" as a single word.
