Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides specific requirements to

3、 statisticallyevaluate measurand alarm thresholds, which are called alarmlimits, as they are applied to data collected from in-service oilanalysis. These alarm limits are typically used for conditionmonitoring to produce severity indications relating to states ofmachinery wear, oil quality, and syst

4、em contamination. Alarmlimits distinguish or separate various levels of alarm. Fourlevels are common and will be used in this guide, though threelevels or five levels can also be used.1.2 A basic statistical process control technique describedherein is recommended to evaluate alarm limits when mea-s

5、urand data sets may be characterized as both parametric and incontrol. A frequency distribution for this kind of parametricdata set fits a well-behaved two-tail normal distribution havinga “bell” curve appearance. Statistical control limits are calcu-lated using this technique. These control limits

6、distinguish, at achosen level of confidence, signal-to-noise ratio for an in-control data set from variation that has significant, assignablecauses. The operator can use them to objectively create,evaluate, and adjust alarm limits.1.3 A statistical cumulative distribution technique describedherein i

7、s also recommended to create, evaluate, and adjustalarm limits. This particular technique employs a percentcumulative distribution of sorted data set values. The techniqueis based on an actual data set distribution and therefore is notdependent on a presumed statistical profile. The technique maybe

8、used when the data set is either parametric ornonparametric, and it may be used if a frequency distributionappears skewed or has only a single tail. Also, this techniquemay be used when the data set includes special cause variationin addition to common cause variation, although the techniqueshould b

9、e repeated when a special cause changes significantlyor is eliminated. Outputs of this technique are specific mea-surand values corresponding to selected percentage levels in acumulative distribution plot of the sorted data set. Thesepercent-based measurand values are used to create, evaluateand adj

10、ust alarm limits.1.4 This guide may be applied to sample data from testingof in-service lubricating oil samples collected from machinery(for example, diesel, pumps, gas turbines, industrial turbines,hydraulics) whether from large fleets or individual industrialapplications.1.5 This guide may also be

11、 applied to sample data fromtesting in-service oil samples collected from other equipmentapplications where monitoring for wear, oil condition, orsystem contamination are important. For example, it may beapplied to data sets from oil filled transformer and circuitbreaker applications.1.6 Alarm limit

12、 evaluating techniques, which are not statis-tically based are not covered by this guide.Also, the techniquesof this standard may be inconsistent with the following alarmlimit selection techniques: “rate-of-change,” absolutealarming, multi-parameter alarming, and empirically derivedalarm limits.1.7

13、The techniques in this guide deliver outputs that may becompared with other alarm limit selection techniques. Thetechniques in this guide do not preclude or supersede limits thathave been established and validated by an Original EquipmentManufacturer (OEM) or another responsible party.1.8 This stand

It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.9 This international standa
