1.3 Terms and definitions. The terms used in multiple sections of this standard specification are defined below.

Assembly: A group of two or more interrelated components integral to a system that serve a distinct function. Typically, renewal of components within assemblies can be economically justified where renewal of entire assemblies as one unit cannot be economically justified.

Cleanliness Grade A: An uncoated surface is cleanliness Grade A when all visible or touchable areas of an accessible surface are free of grease, oil, flux, scale, dirt, loose particles or loose corrosion products, and all other contamination foreign to the base material of the surface. Light superficial rust on a carbon steel surface, caused by short time exposure to the atmosphere, is permitted. Potable water residues are permitted.

Component: A group of one or more interrelated parts that are integral to a system that serves a distinct function. A part is a special case of a component. Components can generally be renewed as a unit.

Deck machinery system: A deck machinery system contains the union of all associated mechanical load bearing components, all mechanical power transmission component associated with a prime mover, and each component integral to the operation both of those sets of components and assemblies, up to and including their machinery foundations. If the prime mover is an electric motor then all components prime mover side of the connection point to ship’s service power are part of the system.

Dynamic load test: A weight test used to verify that all mechanical power transmission components in a system are properly assembled, properly installed, properly adjusted, and are capable of producing enough force (i.e., pressure, torque, etc.) to hoist or haul the dynamic load. The weight specified for this test is typically just beneath the weight that the system is capable of hoisting or hauling when all mechanical power transmission components are properly assembled, properly installed, and properly adjusted. Systems installed on vessels and barges are designed to hoist or haul loads greater than their published rating in order to compensate for the increased line tensions experienced while operating in a sea state

(dynamic loading).

Fine surfaces: The term fine surfaces denotes the union of each of the following definitions:

o Each uncoated surface of a component whose finish is critical to the operation of the component.

2020 2 5000 o Each uncoated surface of a component that mates with or runs against a machined surface, a plated surface, or software.

o Plated surfaces.

Haul: To pull a mechanical load in the horizontal plane.

Hoist: To raise a mechanical load in the vertical plane.

Mechanical load: The term mechanical load denotes each of the following definitions:

o A weight or mass not integral to a hoisting machine but suspended from a hoisting machine.

o A weight or mass not integral to a hauling machine but being hauled by a hauling machine.

Mechanical load bearing components: Each component in a machine that is subjected to stress while supporting or moving a mechanical load.

Machinery foundation: Structural members welded to or integral to the ship's structure designed to provide an interface for fastening one or more parts of the machine to the ship.

Mechanical power transmission component: Each part in a machine, including those parts integral to the prime mover that is subjected to stress generated by a prime mover.

Nondestructive examination (NDE): The act of determining the suitability of some material or component for its intended purpose using techniques that do not affect its serviceability.

Part: A component that can be disassembled no further.

Pin assembly: The union of all components attached to (e.g., by key, spline, stake, press fit, etc.) and mate with or run against a pin including all sleeves, bushings, and rolling contact bearings that support the pin. For example, when tasked to Disassemble and Inspect a Sheave

Pin Assembly, all components that mate with the pin (e.g., a sheave, at least one rolling contact bearing assembly or bushing) shall be disassembled.

Prime mover: The initial source of mechanical energy integral to a deck machinery system in the form of either an internal combustion engine or an electric motor driven directly by current from the ship’s service generator.

Rated load test: A weight test used to verify that all mechanical power transmission components in a system are properly assembled, properly installed, properly adjusted, and are capable of operating through a complete duty cycle without developing unusual or substandard performance characteristics (e.g., noise, binding, overheating, slow operation, etc.). The weight specified for this test is typically the published Working Load Limit (WLL) of the system.

Self-locking fastener: A fastener assembly with a design feature (e.g., a soft insert, pre-deformed threads, etc.) for the purpose of adding friction to the threaded connection.

Shaft assembly: The union of all components attached to (e.g., by key, spline, stake, press fit, etc.) and mate with or run against a shaft including all sleeves, bushings, and rolling contact bearings that support the shaft. For example, when tasked to Disassemble and Inspect a Winch Drum Shaft Assembly, all components attached to the shaft (e.g., winch drum, at least two rolling contact bearing assemblies, a gear on gearbox end of the shaft, and all associated keys, seal, backing rings, etc.) shall be disassembled. The associated gear box would be disassembled only to the extent required to access the specified shaft assembly.

Software: The term software includes seals, gaskets, o-rings, backing rings for o-rings, lip seals, v-ring packing, flax packing, and mechanical packing seals as part of a component union.

2020 3 5000

Brake/Modified static load test: A weight test used to verify that a winch brake, a brake valve, or a counterbalance valve is properly assembled, properly installed, properly adjusted, and is capable of stopping and holding the dynamic load. The weight specified for this test is typically just beneath the weight that will cause a properly assembled, properly adjusted, and properly installed winch brake, brake valve, or counterbalance valve to slip/relieve. The test also verifies, to a lesser extent, the integrity of all other mechanical load bearing components in the system.

System specifications: All requirements, configuration data, and process descriptions applicable to the work specified that are contained within system drawings, system technical publications, or other documents referenced by a work item or referenced by the standard.

Where specifications provided by the system manufacturer disagree with specifications provided by a manufacturer of a component within that system, the specifications provided by the system manufacturer shall take precedent, unless otherwise specified.

Task description: When the work item contains a table similar to the table shown in paragraph 4.1 (Work item interpretation), a task description is a unit of work described by six separate associated cells across one row of a table in a work item that references this standard. Otherwise, it is a sentence or paragraph in a work item that contains a Task Type.

Task type: One or more words, typically verbs, that denotes a general description of work that can be performed on a component or assembly. Examples of standard task types are listed in paragraphs 4.1 (Work item interpretation) and 4.2 (Standard task types).

Vital fastener assembly: A fastener assembly that is either a mechanical load bearing component or a mechanical power transmission component.

Wearing components: The term wearing components denotes the union of the following sets of components:

o Software.

o Rolling contact bearings excluding turntable or turret bearings.

o Bushings used in a machine to constrain rotating shafts or mechanical load bearing pins.

o Springs.

o Friction discs in disc brakes and liners in band brakes.

Wear pads and wear strips: defined as relatively soft parts that slide against one or more relatively hard parts within a machine, the soft part being designed to wear at a much faster rate than the hard part.

Visually inspect all components in the system. Verify that all reservoirs and gear cases are filled to the level required in the system specifications.

WARNING

Verify that all installed system isolation valves (e.g., return line valves, case drain line valves, etc.) are properly aligned prior to energizing and operating equipment, as applicable.

Verify proper alignment of all installed system isolation valves, as applicable. Cycle all actuators. Verify that all associated control valves, electrical and mechanical controls, and

2020 10 5000 actuators are operating properly.

Remove air from the hydraulic system. Break mechanical joints at high points while cycling actuators, if required, to bleed air from the hydraulic system.

Make adjustments, as required, to all components (e.g., sensors, controls, readouts, pressure control valves, flow control valves, limit switches, proximity switches, etc.) to achieve proper operation, as specified in the task description or in the system specifications.

Verify there are no lube oil or hydraulic fluid leaks.

Identify all lubrication points in the system. Lubricate these points as specified in the task description or in the system specifications.

3.2.7 Pull test: When Pull Test is specified in the task description, do the following:

Determine the required force for the pull test on the specified deck fitting as specified below:

For periodic testing of a deck fitting the force of pull on the fitting shall be 1.5 times the deck fitting’s rated load.

For testing subsequent to a weld-repair of a deck fitting (i.e., renewal or repair of a fitting) the force of pull on the deck fitting shall be 2 times the deck fitting’s rated load.

Determine the proper direction to pull against the specified deck fitting. The proper direction shall be the direction in which the deck fitting and surrounding deck or bulkhead displays its greatest resistance to damage and deformation.

NOTE

General purpose fittings are typically strongest when pulled perpendicular to the deck or bulkhead where they are attached. Special purpose fittings may be stronger in a direction specific to their intended use that may differ from perpendicular to the deck or bulkhead.

Pull the specified deck fitting to the force and in the direction determined above and hold for one minute.

Release the load and verify no permanent deformation or damage to the fitting or the surrounding deck or bulkhead, as applicable.

3.2.8 Operational and weight testing: When Op Test or Weight Test or Op and Weight Test is specified in the task description, do the following:

Furnish all necessary temporary rigging gear (e.g., temporary wire ropes and pendants, external lifting devices such as a crane, strong-backs, test weights, tag lines, dynamometers, come-alongs, steamboat ratchets, shackles, dunnage, bumpers, etc.) required to perform the testing procedures invoked by the task description. Place dunnage under test weights to protect the vessel’s deck and pier, as applicable. Place bumpers or other protective measures between the hull and pier when test procedures involve warping the vessel.

Furnish all necessary rigging services (e.g., riggers, external crane operators, etc.) required to perform the referenced testing procedures invoked by the task description.

Conduct a briefing for cognizant shipboard personnel at least 24 hours prior to the specified test procedure.

Allow the CG Inspector to inspect and approve all temporary rigging gear, prior to being utilized.

2020 11 5000

NOTE

An external lifting device may not be required if using a water bag to conduct

Static Load tests if it can be gradually filled to prevent shock loading of the equipment.

3.2.8.1 When weight testing is specified, determine the vessel’s load status and verify that the vessel’s stability is adequate and safe for performing the test procedure. Conduct weight testing only when the vessel is waterborne and only after at least one of the following three conditions have been met:

The vessel is in a full liquid load condition.

A full liquid load condition has been simulated through the use of equivalent weights that have been arranged shipboard to achieve the same metacentric height (GM) as a full liquid load condition.

The vessel’s DCA or EO or EPO has determined that the vessel’s stability meets or exceeds the minimum stability required to safely perform the test procedure.

3.2.8.1.1 Avoid conditions that will cause sudden application of test loads.

3.2.8.1.2 Keep test weights as close to the deck as possible while performing the test procedure to minimize damage to the vessel if control of the test weight is lost.

3.2.8.1.3 Do not allow immersion of a deck edge or a list of over 15 degrees while performing the test procedure.

3.2.9 All other task types. Refer to the Additional Requirements columns of the task description for all other requirements.
