CONDITION MONITORING EQUIPMENT

A.1 Basic requirements The requirements to the condition monitoring equipment are as follows:

1) Recordings, measurements and trends shall be presented in~ ~imp!t:> ei.nd t:>?.si!y r~~dat-k !1'!!'.!1!1er.

2) Historical data storage and trend presentation facilities shall be available so as to al low the surveyor acce.11s to al.I measurements since last survey.

3) The equipment and hardware shall be fit for operation in a marine environment and the intended use (Ref. Rule Pt. 4 Ch. 9 Sec. 5).

A.2 Vibration meter The minimum instrumentation requirements for vibration measurements (suitable for e.g. centrifugal and screw pumps, separators and ventilation equipment) is a vibration meter that complies with (ISO 2372) and the following requirement'\:

1) A vibralion meter with an accelerometer with provisions for measuring the vibration level as velocity and prefera­bly also acceleration or shock pulse.

2) Minimum measuring requiremem shall be overall r.m.s. (Root Mean Square) values in two frequency ranges 10 -1000 LHzJ and 10 - 10000 [H7.J and [rnm/s]. Alternatively, l 0 - 10000 LHz] velocity levels, a high frequency range as acceleration lgJ or shock pulse readings is acceptable.

3) Sufficient memory to slorc at least one complete route.

In use, the overall level to be read on the instnunent and then compared against the severity crileria, ref. Appendix IV, for an assessment of mechanical condition .

It is of importance to realise that a vibr.ation meter only dis­plays the overall vibration level, including both internal and external vibration (Internal vibration is defined as the vibration excited by the actual component itself. External vibration is defined as the vibration excited by other equipment) . This type of insu-ument is therefore not suitable for detecting and identi­fying specific problems in rotating machinery, except the gen­eral condition of roller and ball bearings (when shock pulse measurements or equivalent is utilised).

A.3 Data collector, (Frequency spectrum analyser) For turbine.-;, gears, piston pumps, piston compressors, water jets and thrusters, a spectrum analyser (Fa.~t Fourier transform, FFT analyser), is required.

The measured results may be presented as either a PEAK or r.m.s. (Root Mean Square) level in respectively acceleration lgJ or velocity [mm/s].

This kind of equipment is a powc1ful analysis tool for extract­ing information to determine the origin of a problem as well its severity. A spectrum analyser with a compatible computerised analysis program is an appropriate tool for both condition monitoring and troubleshooting on rotating machinery.

Not.e: Several FFT-based monitoring systems offer expert systems. guiding the operators in lhe analysis and evaluation of the vibra­tion monitoring. Normally, expert systems use the severity guid­ance from recognised international standards (e.g. ISO & VDI -Verein Deutscher Ingenieure) and the baseline measurements as basis.

---e-n-<l--·of· ·-N·o·t·c---

A.4 Accelerometer The pie:w-clectric acceleromeler is by far the most common in

machinery applications. A typical piezo-electric accelerometer contains one or more piezo-clei:;tric crystal elements and u mass. When the piezo-electric crystal is stressed it produces an electrical output proportional to acceleration. The crystal is stressed by mass when the mass is vibrated by the component tn whic'h th~v nrP. ::itt::irhPrl ArrP1Pr"mPIPr-.: .:lrP no ""P..l rlPuirP~ . ., . . ....... --- - . - -· - - -- - - - --- -- - . . -- - - ·-oc- - -- . ·- - ... that operate in a very wide frequency range; this is the acceler­ometer's major strength. However, be aware of that excc.~.~ive heat and careless handling could damage the accelerometer.

A.5 Diesel engine performance analyser Not considered as a standard equipment and therefore subject to sepaialc approval. The following documentation is to be submitted:

I) Equipment data sheet or spci:;ification for sensor, data ac­quisition and analysis equipment.

2) Data sheet or specificati<m for the software including which parameters that are calculated and how the curves are displayed.

The following technical requirements applies:

1) The measuring equipment is to have a dynamic response suflicicnt to accurately measure the true maximum cylin­der pressure.

360 samples/rev. for medium and high speed 4-slroke engines 720 samples/rev. for slow speed 2-stroke engines

2) Pressure resolution shall be equal to or better than 0.2 bar.

3) The analysis system is as a minimum to have facilities so as to provide the following performance related parame­ters: Pcomp, Pmax, aPmax, aTDC, MIP/cylinder power. engine speed.

4) The system shall utilise a physical reference point as a ba­sis for detennining TDC.

5) Software is to be utilised so that it allows the entire cylin­der pressure curve to be measured, analysed and presented at a resolution of at least one degree crank angle.

6) Sot'lware should be capable of presenting the work dia­gram.

7) Software should preferably be capable of presenting infor­mation on all cylinders simultaneously in the diagrams.

8) Facilities to allow easy comparison between measure­ments should be available.

Note: The length of the distance piece for indicator cocks must he so as to avoid pulsation in the reading~.

··-e·n-d···Of---N-o-L-e---

A.6 Calibration procedure For all equipment used for condition monitoring measure­ments, the calibration intervals shall be according to makers' specifications or recognised standards. If no such intervals are specified, the equipment should be calibrated at least every second year. A job shall be i:;reated in the PMS for calibration of the measuring equipment.

Test equipment shall be furnished by a suitable indicator (for example a tag or a label) to show calibration status.

A. 7 Overall measurements vs. spectrum analysis The major benefit of selecting certain individual frequencies for each measuring point is that thi~ will provide information,

which helps identifying the type of fault causing a vibration problem.

As a consequence of a particular fault condition, the vibralion velocily al a given frequency is beginning co increase. Ref. ex­ample 2 below. This may be undetected by overall r.m.s. for a long lime, since the influence of chis velocity component on an overall r.m.s.- value will be quite small until it becomes the dominant peak value in the frequency spectrum.

In order to illustrate the difference in the two measuring meth­ods, overall r.m.s. (vibration meter) and spectrum-based (FFI' analyser) the response is measured on a steam turbine. The same measurement, in the range 10-1000 Hz is carried out in one position and one direction. The comparison of the two methods clearly shows that only measuring the overall level, is more inaccurate than the spectrum method.

Example 1: Overall r.m.s. (vibration meter) velocity level:

The results are given as a numerical value on a dL~play.

Baseline measurement: Overall r.m.s.-Level = 5,1 mm/s.

7

Current measurement:Overall r.m.s.-level = 5,8 mm/s.

Example 2: Spectrum analyser velocity level:

Vibration measurement producing for instance a frequency spectrum with only two significant peaks V 1 and V2, at the fre­quencies f 1 and f2 respectively.

Baseline measurement:V 1 = 5 mm/s (1 ~ L order of turbine rotor)

V 2 = 1 mm/s (2°d order of turbine ro~

Calculation ofoverallr.m.s.-level = ,J(52 + 12

) = 5, lmm/s

Current measurements: V 1 = 5 mm/s

V2 = 3 mm/s

Calculation ofoverall r.m.s.-level = J ( 5 2 + 3

2) = 5, 8 mm/s

The example iJJust:rates the fact that although the increase of V 2 in example 2 (from I to 3 mm/s) is quite significant, the in­crease in overall r.m.s. is quite small and no suspicion would be aroused of a possible development of a fault condition if only overall r.m.s.- values were read.

Classification Notes - No. 10.2

January 2003

ESTABLISHING OF MEASURING POINTS Tt is recommended that a professional engineering company carries out the installation. Provided the crew has necessary knowledge and sufficient iostalla1ion instructions from the equipment's supplier, they may carry out the preparation of the measuring points and installation of the equipment (sensors).

For a total view of the mechanical condition. the vibration si2"­nal from an operating component should be measured at each bearing. The measurements should be taken on the bearing support housing or other structural parts, wh ich is in close con­tact with the beari.ngs.

Note: Avoid bearing housing and electrical motor caps, which are of thin metal and are thus poor conductors of vibration energy.

---e-n-d---or---N-0-1-e---

To define the vibration behaviour at each measuring point, measurements should preferably be taken in three directions: horizontal, vertical and axial. For single direction measuring

equipment, the requirement for condition monitoring is usually met by performing the measuremenL<i in the horizontal or the vertical direction. lf possible, these can be supplemented by measurement of axial vibration. The latter is nonnally of sig­nificance on Lhrust bearing location~ where direct axial dynam­ic forces are transmitted.

The position .should be clearly marked and uniquely identified so that all periodic readings are taken in the exact same posi­tion every time.

For velocity measurements (up to approximately 2 kHz) the sensor can be attached by magnetic mounting to the machines bearing/casing if the position make a good contact between the sensor and the surface. However, for acceleration measure­ment (above 2 kHz) sensors are required to be either glued with epoxy to the bearing/casing or threaded into the casing.

A hand-held sensor (accelerometer) is not accepted for any type of measurements.

Appendix C BASELINE MEASUREMENTS

C.1 GENERAL The following general requirements apply to establishment of all baseline measurements:

1) The vessel's crew may carry out the baseline measure­ments if they are familiar with the set-up of the instmmen­tation and the analysis program.

2) The measurements shall be obtained at a clearly defined operating condition represe ntative for future in-service operation.

3) Make sure there are steady state conditions before the measurements are carried out. Of particular importance is similarity in shaft rotational speed. Differences i.n power load, suclion condilions, ex­haust conditions, and fluid medium, can have a significant influence of the vibration levels recorded.

4) Make a proper evaluation of the measurements in order to detect any fault conditions. The faults should be corrected before the baseline is settled.

5) Baseline measurement with a vibration meter (overall r.m.s. value) will include both types of excitation in one single value. If the measured level for a componenl exceed an acceptable level, the vibralion environment should be checked in accordance with ISO 3954. That implies, for alJ measuring positions the overall r.m.s. level from 10 to l 000 H7. has to be measured for two conditions:

1) r.m.s.r -is the overall level with the actual machinery item running

2) r.m.s.nr - is the overall level with the actual machinery Slopped

According to ISO 3954, a non-active vibration environment is said to exist when: r.m.s.;r.m.s.nr ~ 3. If the ratio 53 actions should be taken to correct the situation. Probably most of the excitation is coming fro m the main engine. Therefore the base­line and future vibration measurements have to be carried out with the propulsion machinery stopped.

C.2 BASELINE MEASUREMENT REQUIRE­MENTS Thi:-i chapter gives the requirements to establishment of base­line data for the different types of components. All the param­eters listed shall be a part of the documentation submitted for approval of baseline data.

PERFORMANCE AND EVALUATION OF VIBRATION MEASUREMENTS

D.1 OPERATION CONDITIONS DURING CON­DITION MONITORING The periodic measurements to be carried out by the ship's crew or a professional engineering company.

The general rule is that machinery operating continuously when the ship is at sea shall be controlled minimum once a month. Machinery used only periodically (i.e. standby or back­up machinery) ro be controlled with 1 to 3 months interval.

It is extremely important that the periodic mea.surement.f are carried out under load conditions as near as possible to the baseline measurement obtained for the same machinery com­ponent.

Of punicular importance is similarity in shaft rotational speed. Differences in power load, suction conditions, exhaust condi­tions, and fluid medium, can have a significant influence of the vibration levels recorded.

Measurement.<i should not be started until stable running con­ditions have been obtained.

D.2 EVALUATION OF OVERALL MEASURE­MENTS These guidelines are applicable only for the vibration pro­duced by the component itself and not for vibration which is transmitted to the component from external sources.

The componenl condition can be evaluated according to ISO 108 I 6-3 standard (10 - I 000 Hz) for acceptable vibration level

D.3 EVALUATION OF SPECTRUM MEASURE­MENTS Evaluation of spectrum measurements is dependent of type of component. The following includes both general and specific guidelines.

Table 4.1 summaries the relationship between different sourc­es of vibration (mostly fault condition) and the corresponding frequencies at which significant vibration velocity peaks arc likely to sh ow up. The frequencies are specified in terms of the fundamental frequency referred to in the table as r.p.m., i.e. the unit used for frequency is r.p.m . rather than Hz (Hertz).

Please be infonned that Table D.1 is for information only.

D.3.2 Ball and Roller bearings The first stages of ball or roller bearing defects will produce non-synchronous vibration frequencies called becu-ing tones and their harmonics (non-synchronous vibration peaks are not exact multiples of I x the fundamental frequency). Depending on the instrumentation. the first indication will most lik.elv be high frequency bearing tones with lst order sidebands. ·

Bearing tones at 0.15 mm/s r.m.s. (0.0025 g r.m.s.) or higher are considered significant.

An example of simple calculations of (approximate) the bear­ing tone frequencies for most common bearings are as follows:

Outer race fault= No. ofrollers x r.p.m. x 0.4. Inner race fault= No. ofrollers x r.p.m. x 0.6. Fundamental Train Frequency (FTF) = 0.4 x r.p.m.

DIESEL ENGINE PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

E.1 GENERAL It is required to perlorm diesel engine perlormance analyses on main engines onboard. For diesel generators, sec below. Doc­umentation of such analyses shall be made available to the at­tending surveyor, covering the period .since last survey.

Since there are still fault conditions that are rather difficult to detect, as cracked cylinder liners, developing ovality, pitted surfaces etc, the only bullet-proof method of discovering faulty conditions is opening up.

Therefore DNY will not credit any items based on diesel en­gine performance analysis. Crediting of items will be based on the history in the planned maintenance system. The surveyor will, however, review the documentation and conduct a third party verification of the analyses.

Performing diesel engine perfonnance analyses on a regular basis is important to maintain a close follow-up of the engine condition. These analyses can provide important information regarding different fault conditions on the engine. Examples are:

delayed or advanced ignition worn and/or defective piston rings burnt piston crown worn liner leaking fuel injection nozzle retarded or advanced fuel pump timing leaking fuel pump suction valve worn fuel pump unbalanced engine (can cause uneven main bearing wear).

The most evident advantages will be detection of faults or ir­regularities early in the developing stage. This will again con­tribute to reduction of down time, repair costs and indirect costs, as loss of contracts etc. Minor efficiency improvements can ~ive substantial fuel savings, and thereby increased eco­nomtc profit. A combination of performance analyses and ex­perience can become a powerful tool in terms of extending or prolonging maintenance intervals for the d iffercnt engine com­ponents.

E.2 PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS lt is recommended to follow requirements to steady state con­ditions (sec Appendix Ill Ch. l ltem 3), when performing diesel engine pcrfonnance measurements.

For best results, measurements should be performed al mini­mum 80 % of maximum continuous rating.

In addition the following is of great importance:

- good air flow, i.e. clean air filters and air coolers - cmTect fuel viscosity

The cylinder balance for each cylinder, should be checked by measurement and evaluation of the following recommended criteria:

the maximum combustion pressure should not vary more than 3% of the certified value from the average at any cyl­inder the mean indicated pressure should not vary more than ± I bar from the average at any cylinder.

It is important to analyse the results from the measurements in form of a systematic examination of the pressure diagrams. Fo­cus should be on the following parameters:

compression pressure time of ignition time of max pressure max pressure expansion pressure mean indicated pressure.

In addition, the following is important parameters:

fuel pump index exhaust gas temperature indicated effect spread between cylinders.

E.3 DIESEL GENERATORS For diesel generators with indicator cocks, a maximum pres­sure test should be performed at lea.st once a month, or every 500 running hours. The test should be performed with the en­gine running at minimum 80% of maximum continuous rating. The pressure should be recorded on each cylinder with the fol­lowing corresponding parameters:

exhaust gas temperature for each cylinder fuel rack setting on each fuel pump main fuel rack position FO pressure air inlet temp sea water temp cooling water temperature LO temperature nozzle cooling oil/water temp scavenge air pressure scavenge air temperature.

Appendix F REQUIREMENTS TO OIL ANALYSIS

F.1 Fuel oil bunker analysis The bai;ic requirements to the fuel oil bunker sample are as fol ­lows:

Sample shall be obtained from each bunkering, alterna­tively each fuel oil, for analysis. The oil sampling point should be located at the manifold of the receiving vessel where the supplier's hose is con­nected. Jn order to obtain representative oil samples, the samples should he taken as continuos drip .~amples throughout the entire bunkering period by the use of proper line sampler. Designated sample bottles or containers should be used.

Marine Fuel Oil analysis shall as a minimum include the fol ­lowing parameters:

density viscosity water ash micro carbon reside (MCR) Sulphur total sediment potential {TSP) tlash point pour point Aluminium and Silicon Vanadium and Sodium Calculated Carbon Aromaticity index (Cetanc Number).

(Refer to: ISO 8217, Petroleum product - fuels - specification of marine fuels).

F.2 Lubricating and hydraulic oil analysis The basic requirements to the lubricating/hydraulic oi I samples arc as follows:

A complete round of oil samples shall at a minimum be submitted for analysis twice a year. Last laboratory analysis report and documentation of fol­low-up of recommended actions shall be made available to the attending surveyor. The oil sampling point should be clearly identified and po­sitioned to ensure that the sample is taken at the same po­sition each time. 1f possible samples should be acquired

from the return flow, usually this will mean immediately downstream from the component in question. For diesel engines, the lubricating oil sample shall prefer­ably be acquired after the filters, before the engine. Oil samples are always to be acquired while the equipment is operating and the oil is circulating. Before sampling, a sufficient draining is required lo ensure representative oil samples. Wherever samples intended for particle counting arc ac­quired, special ultra-clean particle free equipment and bot­tles are to be used. Both the sampling point and the procedure are to be designed so as to minimise the risk of contamination.

Lubricating and hydraulic oil samples shall be submitted to the delivering oil company or an independent oil analysis labora­tory. When submitted to an independent laboratory, one should ensure that the analyses of lub1icating oil for combustion en­gines are performed in accordance with guidelines put down by Cimac (the International Counsil on Combustion engines). For other samples, recommended values from the manufactur­er of the system or the oi 1 supplier should be followed.

For lubricating oils the scope of work should, as a minimum, be:

water content sodium content (salt) flash point wear particles viscosity base number insoluble material.

For hydraulic oils the scope of work should, as a minimum, be:

water content viscosity wear particles acid number.

For hydraulic systems with high cleanliness demands specified by manufacturer particle counting should be performed.
