(Practice)Standard Practice for In-Service Monitoring of Lubricating Oil for Auxiliary Power Plant Equipment
Standard Practice for In-Service Monitoring of Lubricating Oil for Auxiliary Power Plant Equipment
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the requirements for the effective monitoring of mineral oil and phosphate ester fluid lubricating oils in service auxiliary (non turbine) equipment used for power generation. Auxiliary equipment covered includes gears, hydraulic systems, diesel engines, pumps, compressors, and electrohydraulic control (EHC) systems. It includes sampling and testing schedules and recommended action steps, as well as information on how oils degrade.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 6224; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
A more systematic approach to monitoring auxiliary power plant equipment can help to minimize
the high cost of oil changes and unplanned shutdowns. These avoided costs must be balanced against
the cost of sampling and laboratory testing.
This practice is designed to assist the user in planning and implementing a meaningful,
cost-effective program of sampling and testing of oils in use. Also covered are some important aspects
of interpretation of results and suggested action steps so as to maximize service life of the oil and
equipment.
