SCHEDULE XIVLubricating Oil and Hydraulic Power Oil Systems
PART I(Section 4)Design Specifications
Item | Requirements |
---|---|
1 | Where the ship is to operate in low ambient temperatures, measures shall be taken to maintain essential deck machinery lubricating oil and hydraulic power oil at a viscosity suitable for reliable operation of the machinery. |
Tanks | |
2 | No lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil tank shall be located where spillage or leakage from the tanks creates a hazard by falling on heated surfaces. |
3 | No lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil shall be carried in the fore-peak. |
4 | Means shall be provided to prevent over-pressure in
|
5 | Quantities of lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil in tanks shall be determined by
|
6 | Subject to item 7, for ships certificated to carry more than 12 passengers and other ships in excess of 500 tons gross tonnage, every pressurized lubricating oil system pipe which when damaged allows oil to escape from a storage or service tank situated above the double bottom, shall be fitted with a cock or valve on the tank capable of being closed from a safe position outside the space. |
7 | In the case of tanks situated in any shaft or pipe tunnel or similar compact space, cocks or valves shall be fitted on the tanks and remote control may be operated by means of an additional valve outside the compact space. |
8 | Where the additional valve is fitted in the machinery space it shall be operable from outside this space. |
Piping and Components | |
9 | As far as practicable, all parts of a lubricating oil or hydraulic power oil system containing heated oil under pressure exceeding 180 kPa shall be located so that defects and leakage can readily be observed. |
10 | Machinery space lubricating oil and hydraulic power oil piping and components shall be adequately illuminated. |
11 | Means shall be taken to prevent oil that may escape under pressure from any component from coming into contact with heated surfaces. |
12 | Drip trays with drains leading to a sludge oil tank shall be fitted under all components where leakage may occur. |
13 | Lubricating oil and hydraulic power oil pipes shall be of steel or similar fire and pressure resistant material, except that flexible hoses are permissible in accordance with Schedule IX. |
14 | Sight flow glasses in piping systems shall be of fire resistant types. |
