Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 10438-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, Subcommittee SC 6, Processing equipment and
systems.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10438-3:2003), which has been technically
revised.

recommendations at the time of publication of this part of ISO 10438.
a
The referenced equipment standards may suggest alternative base systems in editions published subsequent to
this part of ISO 10438, or the user may select alternative systems based on his experience or a Failure modes and
effects analysis (FMEA) as described in Annex D.
4.1.2 The oil system supplied shall be capable of supplying sufficient quantities of clean, filtered oil at
proper temperature and pressure for start-up and all operating conditions of the serviced rotating equipment.
4.2 General
4.2.1 The equipment (including auxiliaries) covered by this part of ISO 10438 shall be designed and
constructed for a minimum service life of 20 years.
NOTE It is recognized that this is a design criterion.
z 4.2.2 The purchaser shall specify the design goal for uninterrupted operation (mission time) of the
equipment.
NOTE Annex D is available as a guide for system reliability goals.
4.2.3 The oil system shall be suitable for general purpose applications as defined in ISO 10438-1:2007,
3.1.17. The system shall be designed as a separate console or may be designed to be integral with the
baseplate of the equipment it serves. If components are spared, the design shall allow for transfer between
and shutdown of the main and spared components of the system for maintenance without interrupting the
operation of the system or the equipment the system serves. General-purpose systems supply lubricating oil
only (i.e. no seal oil) and do not require an accumulator to cover transient conditions.
An accumulator may be specified in accordance with ISO 10438-2, however, it is normally not required on this
class of equipment.
z 4.2.4 The purchaser shall specify the equipment's normal operating point and alternate operating points,
including transients.
z 4.2.5 Control of the sound pressure level (SPL) of all equipment furnished shall be a joint effort of the
purchaser and the vendor having unit responsibility. The equipment furnished by the vendor shall conform to
the maximum allowable sound pressure level specified. In order to determine compliance, the vendor shall
provide both maximum sound pressure and sound power level data per octave band for the equipment.
z 4.2.6 Where oil is supplied from a common system to two or more machines (such as a compressor, a gear
and a motor), the oil's characteristics shall be specified by the purchaser on the basis of mutual agreement
with all vendors supplying equipment served by the common oil system.

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
ISO 10438-3:2007(E)
z 4.2.7 The system shall be designed to supply oil to all equipment specified.
4.2.8 Recycled oil originating upstream of the filters is preferred and is required when there is a possibility
of an explosive mixture in the reservoir.
NOTE This is to minimize the potential for generation of static electricity (or a static charge) that can result when
filtered oil bypasses the equipment and is recycled directly to the reservoir.
z 4.2.9 If specified, the arrangement of the equipment, including piping and auxiliaries, shall be developed
jointly by the purchaser and the vendor. The arrangement shall provide adequate clearance areas and safe
access for operation and maintenance.
NOTE For some pre-engineered general purpose oil systems, purchaser input might be impractical.
z 4.2.10 If specified, minimum defined requirements for clearance around and access to components
(especially clearance around and access to coolers, filters and hand valves) shall be incorporated as design
requirements.
z 4.2.11 If specified, pumps, filters, strainers, coolers, traps, valves and all other components that retain oil
under pressure and are external to the reservoir shall be made of steel.
4.2.12 Unless otherwise specified, pumps may be submerged in the reservoir and these may be made of
cast iron.
z 4.2.13 If specified, valved vents, drains and piping shall be furnished to permit draining, cleaning and refilling
of idle components while the equipment is in operation.
z 4.2.14 Unless otherwise specified, coolers, filters, overhead oil tanks, drain traps, accumulators and other
pressure vessels shall be in accordance with the specified pressure design code. If specified by the
purchaser, vessels shall be code stamped.
NOTE 1 Code stamping might not be applicable for pressure design codes other than ASME.
NOTE 2 Local jurisdictions can require a code stamp.
NOTE 3 Code stamping can require additional inspection over the life of the equipment.
z 4.2.15 The vendor shall advise the purchaser of, and both parties shall mutually agree upon, any special
provisions that are necessary to ensure that an adequate back-up supply of lube oil is maintained in the event
of complete failure of the primary lube-oil supply system. These provisions may include standby pumps,
rundown tanks and special arrangements for equipment safety and protection when the equipment
decelerates. Provisions shall be adequate for coast-down time and cool-off time, as applicable. The purchaser
and the vendor shall mutually agree on the system and its components.
4.2.16 Block valves that interrupt the oil flow to the equipment shall not be installed in oil supply lines
downstream of the filters unless the block valves are part of a component block and bypass arrangement.
4.2.17 When components that can require later removal for maintenance are installed using screwed
connections, the connecting piping shall be provided with flanges such that the component can be removed
without requiring cutting pipe or major disassembly of the unit.
4.3 Baseplates
4.3.1 The major components (pumps, filters, coolers and reservoir) shall be mounted directly on structural
steel as a separate console or integrated with the equipment base.
NOTE Reference can be made to the baseplate section of the lubricated equipment specification for baseplate
requirements when the console is integrated into the equipment base.

ISO 10438-3:2007(E)
4.3.2 Unless otherwise specified, package baseplates shall be of the drain-gutter type with one or more
drain connections at least DN 40 (NPS 1 1/2). Baseplates, mounted components and decking shall be
arranged and installed to ensure drainage and avoid the retention of liquid. Sloping of the decking is not
required.
z 4.3.3 If specified, sloped decking shall be furnished.
4.3.4 The baseplate shall be provided with lifting lugs for at least a four-point lift or other suitable means.
The baseplate shall be designed so that after the components and all piping mounted on it are drained of oil,
the package can be lifted without permanently distorting or otherwise damaging either the baseplate or any
component mounted on it.
z 4.3.5 If specified, metal decking covering all walk and work areas shall be provided on the top of the
baseplate. If furnished, metal decking shall be non-skid.
NOTE Decking might not be required when the grout pour is used to create a walking surface.
z 4.3.6 If specified, baseplates shall be suitable for installation in accordance with API RP 686. Unless
otherwise specified, all baseplates shall be provided with at least one opening or hole in each bulkhead
section through which grout can be poured and vented. Each opening shall have a clear area of no less than
2 2
125 cm (20 in ) and no dimension less than 100 mm (4 in), and each shall permit filling and venting of the
entire cavity with grout under the baseplate without creating air pockets. Each hole into which the grout is
poured shall be accessible: no component or piping shall be disturbed and no tripping hazards in walk and
work areas shall be created. Vent holes at least 13 mm (1/2 in) in diameter shall be provided for each
bulkhead compartment. Each grout hole shall also be provided with steel curbing 13 mm (1/2 in) high to
prevent accumulated oil or water from entering the grout. Vent holes shall be provided without curbing.
z 4.3.7 If specified, the baseplate shall be suitable for column mounting (that is, of sufficient rigidity to be
supported at specified points) without continuous grouting under structural members. The baseplate design
shall be mutually agreed upon by the purchaser and the vendor.
4.3.8 The bottom of the baseplate between structural members shall be open. When the baseplate is
installed on a concrete foundation and grouted as specified in 4.3.6, accessibility for grouting under all load-
carrying structural members shall be provided.
4.3.9 Levelling screws shall be provided in the proximity of each hold-down bolt.
4.4 Oil reservoirs
4.4.1 General
Reservoirs shall be separate or combined with the equipment baseplate and be rigid enough to prevent
sagging and vibration. Components bolted to the reservoir shall be mounted on pads; no bolt holes shall
extend into the reservoir.
4.4.2 Protection from dirt and water
Reservoirs shall be sealed to prevent dirt and water from entering. Top-surface openings shall be raised at
least 6 mm (1/4 in) and shall have a gasket. When pumps, coolers or filters are mounted on top of the
reservoir, the reservoir top may be provided with a drain rim or gutter and one or more drain connections.
NOTE For installations on an existing equipment base, a drain rim or gutter might not be required on the reservoir.
4.4.3 Oil connections and internal piping
4.4.3.1 All oil return flow streams shall be hydraulically located as far away from the pump suction
connections as possible.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 10438-3:2007(E)
NOTE The use of the term “hydraulically located as far away” is intended to convey the concept that return flow
streams can be directed by internal piping or baffling to avoid disturbing the oil flow at pump inlets. This internal piping or
baffling can be used in lieu of external connections physically located such a distance from the pump suctions that they
avoid disturbing the oil flow at the pump inlets.
4.4.3.2 All atmospheric oil return connections (including fill connections) shall be located above the
maximum operating level and shall transport oil (via open-top stilling tubes or degassing trays) as shown in
ISO 10438-2:2007, Figure B.24. Stilling tubes shall have bottom baffles.
4.4.3.3 Pump suction connections shall be located at least 50 mm (2 in) above the reservoir bottom.
4.4.3.4 Reservoir pipe connections 40 mm (1 1/2 in) and larger shall be flanged.
4.4.4 Manways and drains
4.4.4.1 Reservoirs shall be furnished with a valved and blind-flanged or plugged-drain connection.
z 4.4.4.2 If specified, to ensure complete drainage, the bottom of each reservoir shall be sloped to a low
point drain.
z 4.4.4.3 If specified, a drain connection (with a valve and a blind flange) at least 50 mm (2 in) in diameter
shall be provided.
4.4.4.4 Reservoirs shall be provided with unobstructed access for direct interior visual inspection and
cleaning. Manways, if required, shall be at least 600 mm × 600 mm in diameter (24 in × 24 in). If manway-
sized access is not required for inspection or cleaning, a minimum 150 mm × 150 mm (6 in × 6 in) port or ports
shall be provided.
4.4.5 Features and appendages
The oil reservoir shall have the following features and appendages:
a) capacity to settle moisture and foreign matter adequately and to provide allowance for rundown from the
entire system;
b) provisions to eliminate air and minimize migration of foreign matter to each pump suction;
c) reservoir-level indicator, such as a dipstick, level gauge, or bulls eye;
z d) if specified, an oil level glass arranged to cover the span from at least 25 mm (1 in) above the rundown
level to 50 mm (2 in) below the pump suction-loss level. The oil level glass shall be located as far away as
possible from the oil return lines and be visible from the perimeter of the unit. The maximum and
minimum operating levels, rundown level and suction-loss level shall be indicated on the glass. If more
than one level glass is provided, they shall be offset. The top glass shall be of the weld pad type;
e) weatherproof, corrosion-resistant filter-breather cap at least 50 mm (2 in) in diameter with filtration rating
of 10 µm beta 10 or better shall be provided (this connection may also be used as a fill opening);
z f) if specified, a fill opening at least 50 mm (2 in) in diameter that automatically closes (normally held shut by
a spring) and is equipped with a stainless steel fine-mesh strainer basket that has an open area equal to
200 % of the internal pipe area;
