2.4 Oil Samples
At regular intervals, (i.e. at approximately each 3000 operating hours), it is
recommended to get a sample of the system oil. Send the sample of the system oil to
a laboratory to make an analysis. The analysis must include ISO 4406 particle counts
for samples taken from downstream of the coarse filter or fine filter.
Take the sample downstream of the filter, before the oil flows into the main oil gallery
or the servo oil system. Get a sample of system oil as follows:
1) Make sure that the oil pump operates and the engine oil is at the correct
temperature for operation.
2) Put an applicable container below a ball valve in the lubricating system.
3) Open the ball valve to flush out possible dirt.
4) Close the ball valve.
5) Use some oil to clean the container.
6) Put the container below a ball valve.
7) Open the ball valve to get a sample.
8) Close the ball valve.
9) Put the sample in a bottle.
10) Write the data that follows on the bottle:
D Name of the ship or name of plant
D Engine type
D Engine serial number
D Date of sample
D Operating hours of oil and of engine
D Location of the sample point
D Oil brand and quality.
