Identification of Included Equipment

DOE-STD-1052-93

APPENDIX F

EXAMPLE LUBRICATION OIL ANALYSIS PROCEDURE

1.1 Identification of Included Equipment

1.1.1 The predictive maintenance coordinator should maintain a listing of equipment included

in the oil analysis program. Samples may be taken from equipment not included in

Appendix F, Table 1, as requested by plant staff.

NOTE:

For purposes of this good practice, Table 1 illustrates only a small portion

of the equipment included in the lubrication oil analysis program.

1.2 Scheduling of Sampling

1.2.1 Oil samples should be scheduled per the intervals indicated in Table 1.

1.2.2 Scheduled sampling dates and/or intervals may be adjusted according to

recommendations from the analysis laboratory or plant management.

1.2.3 Samples may be taken more frequently at the discretion of the predictive maintenance

coordinator or as requested by plant staff. For example, oil samples on selected plant

equipment may be useful prior to securing the equipment for a planned outage to allow

for repairs.

1.3 Sample Collection

1.3.1 Collection of oil samples may be initiated by maintenance job request or procedure.

1.3.2 Oil samples should be representative. Whenever possible, samples should be drawn

when the oil is still hot and well mixed.

1.3.3 Samples should normally be collected by withdrawing oil directly from oil

sumps/reservoirs with suction tubes into clean, new sample bottles.

1.3.4 After collection, oil samples that are not radioactively contaminated should be

delivered to the predictive maintenance coordinator for processing.
