Significance and Use4.1 Proper fluid condition is essential for the satisfactoryperformance and long life of the equipment. Prerequisites forproper lubrication and component pe

19、rformance are: (1)awell-designed hydraulic system, (2) the use of a good fluid, and(3) a maintenance program including proper filtration methodsto ensure that the fluid is free of contaminants. These prereq-uisites are meaningless unless the hydraulic system is initiallycleaned to a level that will

20、prevent component damage oninitial start up or when debris may be dislodged by any systemupset.4.2 The cleaning and flushing of both new and used systemsare accomplished by essentially the same procedure. In newsystems, the emphasis is on the removal of contaminantsintroduced during the manufacture,

21、 storage, field fabrication,and installation. In used systems, the emphasis is on theremoval of contaminants that are generated during operations,from failures that occur during operation; or contaminantsintroduced during overhaul.4.3 While the flushing and cleaning philosophies stated inthis practi

22、ce are applicable to all primary and servo hydraulicsystems, the equipment specified herein does not apply tocompact systems that use relatively small volumes of fluidunless they are servo systems where it is economically justi-fied.4.4 It should be emphasized that the established proceduresto be fo

23、llowed for flushing and cleaning the hydraulic systemsshould be accomplished through the cooperative efforts andagreement of the equipment manufacturer, the installer, theoperator, and the fluid supplier. No phase of these proceduresshould be undertaken without a thorough understanding of thepossibl

24、e effects of improper system preparation. The installa-tion and cleaning and flushing of the equipment should not beentrusted to persons lacking in experience.5. Types of Contamination5.1 GeneralHydraulic systems can become contaminatedfrom a variety of sources. Generally, there are five categories

25、ofcontamination: (1) water, (2) fluid soluble material, (3) fluidinsoluble material, (4) erroneous fluid additions, and (5)hydraulic fluid deterioration. Properly designed systems cannormally control water and insoluble contaminants; however,when it is necessary to remove soluble contaminants, a flu

26、idchange and flush are required.5.2 WaterWater is almost always present in hydraulicfluids. It may be present in solution or in a free or emulsifiedform. Water can exist in solution at varying concentrationsdepending on the nature of the fluid, the temperature, and soforth. For example, hydraulic fl

27、uid may hold 50 ppm of waterat 21C (70F) and 250 ppm at 71C (160F). The water insolution has no adverse effect on lubricating properties of thefluid and causes no corrosion; however, when fluid passesthrough a cooler some water may come out of solution andbecome free water in the form of finely disp

28、ersed droplets.Many contaminants hinder the separation of this free waterfrom the fluid by settling and may cause an emulsion. Inhydraulic fluids, the emulsion impairs circulation, interferewith lubrication and adversely affect contamination controlequipment.5.2.1 Water contamination can be classifi

29、ed as either freshor sea water, as encountered in land or marine systems. Freshwater enters the hydraulic system from moist air as condensa-tion, through improperly located vents, leaks in coolers, andsteam heaters, and because of improper operation. Sea water, inmarine hydraulic systems, enters thr

30、ough leaks in coolers,faulty manhole gaskets, faulty sump tank seals and improperlylocated vents. Sea and brackish water can also present a2For referenced ASTM standards, visit the ASTM website, www.astm.org, orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.

Watercontamination in hydraulic fluids can:5.2.1.1 Promote fluid oxidation.5.2.1.2 Reduce fluid stability.5.2.1.3 Promote sludge.5.2.1.4 Promote foaming.5.2.1.5 Form emulsions.5.2.1.6 Promote rusting and corrosion.5.2.1.7 Affect additive and concentrat

33、ion.5.2.1.8 Adversely affect lubricating properties.5.2.1.9 Promote bacteria growth.5.2.1.10 Alter fluid viscosity.5.2.1.11 Adversely affect fine filtration.5.2.2 In the case of severe salt water contamination, it isnecessary to remove the operating fluid and clean and flush thehydraulic systems.5.3

34、 Soluble Contaminants:5.3.1 Soluble contaminants in hydraulic systems includecleaning chemicals, solvents, rust preventives, incompatiblelubricants, flushing oils, extraneous oils, oxidation products,gasket sealants, and assembly lubricants. These contaminantscannot be removed by conventional fluid

35、contamination controlequipment. Normally, a new charge of fluid is required tocorrect the problem. Fluid soluble contaminants can:5.3.1.1 Change the fluid viscosity.5.3.1.2 Alter the flash point.5.3.1.3 Change the color.5.3.1.4 Result in sludge deposits.5.3.1.5 Attack elastomeric seals.5.3.1.6 Initi

36、ate additive-water interaction that can causeemulsification, possible additive loss, instability, impairedpurification equipment performance, foaming, and air entrain-ment.5.3.1.7 Accelerate oxidation.5.3.2 When a soluble contaminant is present, the fluidsupplier and consult the equipment manufactur

37、er should beconsulted regarding the advisability of continued use of thefluid or replacing it with a new charge.5.4 Insoluble Contaminants:5.4.1 Insoluble contaminants normally encountered aremetal particles of all types and sizes, fibers, airborne solids,sand, and other nonmetallic particles. These

38、 contaminants areoften the result of improper manufacturing techniques, im-proper shipping and storage practices, and careless installationof hydraulic systems. Some of the effects of solid contamina-tion are:5.4.1.1 Abrasive wear or sticking of components such as:control valve poppets, cylinders, p

39、iston rods, and seals.5.4.1.2 Faulty control functioning, particularly pluggedfluid lines/filter plugging.5.4.1.3 Reduced fluid stability.5.4.1.4 Sludge formation.5.4.1.5 Increased foaming tendency.5.4.1.6 Stabilized water-oil emulsions/accelerated oxidationby catalytic effect of metal particles.5.4

40、.2 Harmful contamination can exist in the hydraulicsystem in two forms:5.4.2.1 Lodged ContaminationThese contaminants maybecome dislodged by high fluid flows and temperature differ-entials or by induced vibration during flushing. Contaminationcan be lodged in unflushed pockets or settled on the bott

41、om oftanks. Unless this contaminant is removed, it becomes dis-lodged during startup or during system upsets. Experience,good judgement, and careful inspection by the installationsupervisor must be relied upon to determine when such dirt hasbeen satisfactorily removed.5.4.2.2 Suspended Contamination

42、:5.4.2.3 (a) Contaminants suspended in the fluid can begenerated by particles coming loose from pipe, hose, hydrauliccomponents, tank walls generally caused by high fluid velocity,wear debris, and vibration. Suspended contaminant can bemeasured, as described in 11.3. To prevent the level ofsuspended

43、 contaminant from getting beyond acceptable limits,all units should be provided at least with a bypass contamina-tion control system (fluid filter or centrifuge). Preferably a fullflow filter or a full flow filter plus bypass purification isprovided. When a full flow filter is used, a bypass purific

44、ationsystem may not be required.5.4.2.4 (b) The bypass or full flow system, or both, are inoperation during the flush operation as well as on a continuousbasis during hydraulic system operation. The rated flow capac-ity per hour of a bypass system should be 10 to 20 % of thetotal system fluid volume

45、.6. Contamination Control6.1 GeneralContamination control in a hydraulic systemis the complete program of monitoring and maintaining a cleanfluid. Contamination control must begin with the design,manufacture, and installation of the hydraulic system andcontinue throughout the life of the system. Whe

46、n makinginspections or working in or around a unit, care must be takento prevent contaminants from entering the system. When workthat generates contaminants is being performed in the vicinityof the hydraulic system, the system components must beprotected even to the extent of suspending operations,

47、andrequiring system components to be sealed until the contami-nating activity has ceased. The contamination control systemmust be capable of removing water and particulate matterconsistent with contamination tolerance and system cleanlinessrequirements.6.1.1 Initial FillingWhen initially filling the

48、 hydraulicsystem, all fluids are filtered through 3 to 10-m absolute (see4.1) filters as they are being transferred into the reservoir. Thecontamination control system is ready for operation prior to thehydraulic system fill and is operating throughout flushing. SeeSection 9.5.6.1.2 In-Service Units

49、The contamination control systemis in operation as long as the hydraulic system is in service. Itsoperation is frequently and regularly monitored to assure that itis performing adequately and to determine the need for itsmaintenance.6.1.3 Connection of Contamination Control SystemTheexternal fluid take-off from the circulating system to thecontamination control system is from the lowest point of thefluid sump or reservoir, to facilitate removal of solid contami-nants and water.D4174 89 (2010)36.1.3.1 Piping between the reservoir and the contaminationcontrol system is
