If another hydraulic oil is intended used, Frank Mohn AS must be contacted for comments.
Mixing of the different hydraulic oils should be avoided.
If different hydraulic oils have to be mixed, the oil companies in question must run a
compatibility test and guarantee the compatibility prior to mixing.

Formulation of different oils is a continuously changing process. The oils listed here are
according to information available to Frank Mohn AS meeting general specification stated in
this paper. It is, however, the responsibility of each oil company to specify hydraulic oils
meeting this specification.
"-../ Rebranded oil is not acceptable.
* High viscosity index oils (VI > 140).
Note: High V.I. oils are only required for low temperature applications.

Condition monitoring of your cargo pumping system
carried out in Rotterdam, Houston, Singapore and Bergen.

To perform maintenance based on condition monitoring is proven cost effective. A continuous follow
up on the condition of the cargo pumping system will give optimum lifetime of the components in the
system, and unforeseen shut down and break down will be reduced. r--
v
The primary advantages are:
. Secure systemapproval fromvarious authorities
. Avoid interferencewith vessel operation
. Preventiveactions to limitemergency repairs
. Increased lifetimeof hydraulic components
. Reduced maintenance cost
. Optimum performance of your cargo pumping
system
. Betterpossibilityto plan the maintenance and to
have spares available

The condition monitoring program offered by FRAMO

contains:
. Attendanceby qualifiedpersonnellat a harbour
with FRAMO service station ~
. Communication with ship's staff to land oil
sample if vessel is not in FRAMO station area

The oil analysis is an important parameter for

analysing the condition of the hydraulic system. Our
program contains 3 different levels, as follows:

LEVEL 1: Portable cleanliness indicator

LEVEL1: Simplifiedcleanliness test, quarterly
LEVEL 2: Particle counter Promo test laboratory
Test to be carried out onboard the vessel by
means of a portable cleanliness indicator.
Guidance info to verify if the oil is within
FRAMO's acceptance criteria or not.

LEVEL2: Particlecountingand water contenttest, '-'

semi-annual
Oil sample to be analysed at FRAMOtest
laboratory acc. to ISO 4406.
Number and size of particles.

LEVEL3: Fulloil analysis,annual

Oil sample to be analysed in a chem. lab
institute.
Spectral analysis of the oil including:
Flashpoint.
Anti wear composition of the oil.
Specific gravity.
Water.
J
Viscosity.
Total acid no.
Chlorides.
 To get a reliable oil sample, it is important that the correct procedures are followed and the same
sampling point is used each time. If the ship does not sail in an area with a FRAMO service station,
certified clean bottles and shipment containers will be applied together with labels and detailed
I.., procedures.
During our visit in one of the "FRAMO ports" we will
inspect additional important parameters which will be
evaluated to establish the overall condition of the
system

Thiswill include but is not limited to:

. General inspectionof the systemfor leakages,
abnormal noise, etc.
. Checkfor air in thesystemand deaerateif
necessary.
.
. Check of magnetic chip detectors.

.. Check L\p indicator for hydraulic oil filters.

Control of hydraulic oil tank drain.
Evaluation of purging routine, status on the
'- cargo pumps cofferdam.
. Generalassistance
to theship'sstaffin operation Containers approved for air freight
of the system, if required. Magnetic chip detector

Thewhole program will be organized through one

FRAMOservicestationwhich will:
. Call up the ship when the next sample/visit is
due.
. Coordinate activity for any action if the vesselis
close to another service station.
. Perform statistical analysis of the different tests

. and samples.
Make a total report based on the available
information from samples, inspection on board
and consumption statistics.
..., . Proposalfor any actions required.
for condition of hydraulic oil

Looking forward
\...f to be your partner in
condition monitoring
of your cargo pumping
system.

GENERAL r
'-I
In this Service Bulletin we would like to highlight the importance of keeping your
Hydraulic System "air free", to avoid failure, and in the worst case break-down of
compone.nts.

Air in a hydraulic system is a contamination and is critical to the performance and

lifetime.

Design practice of the hydraulic system foresees neither air in the oil, nor air as free
pockets-in the piping system.

During commissioning at the shipyard, after oil filling and flushing, air venting is an
important part of the "start-up procedure".

Air venting must be a part of your Periodical Maintenance program.

and is important after every service. ,.....
'wi
Any air in the system will accumulate to "high points" in the system; where vent
cocks shall be installed.

. Necessary time for air venting after service I repair must be included in the
total scope of work, even if time schedule is limited.

,
HOW TO PREVENT AIR ENTERING INTO THE SYSTEM '-'
. Do not open a hydraulic system unless service/repair is required.

. After service/repair the air shall be vented as close to the actual component as
possible to avoid any "locked-in" air pocket(s) to be mixed into the oil after start-up.
-Air vent the component prior to opening service valves(s).

. Check that all connections,Q-rings, gaskets, shaft seals and threads are tight.
-Air can be sucked -in from any opening to atmosphere.

HOW TO AIR VENT THE SYSTEM

Use vent cocks installed in the piping system and on components.

-Take the necessary time for air venting.

. In a closed loop system with feed pumps or pilot pumps, air

venting shall be done while these are running.

. Even if air venting after service of component have been carried out, repeat
the air venting when the hydraulic oil temp. have reached 50-55° C
