2、 standard supercedes applicable laws and regulations. Note: In the event of conflict between the English and domestic language, the English language shall take precedence. 1.1 Purpose. This document outlines a method for: a. Determining the weight and nature (if specified) of foreign material retain

3、ed in or on electric motor components prior to assembly. b. Verifying the functionality of the component in application after the cleaning procedure. 1.2 Foreword. Not applicable. 1.3 Applicability. This method may be used to quantify foreign material present in components, sub-assemblies and assemb

4、lies. 1.4 Principle. The test method involves washing electric motor and components with a specified solvent, collecting the rinse fluid, filtering solid materials from it and determining the weight (and nature, if specified) of solids present; The method also outlines drying requirement and method

11、 General Motors Company All Rights Reserved November 2012 Page 2 of 4 3.5 Test Required Information. Not applicable. 3.6 Personnel/Skills. Per local requirements. 4 Procedure 4.1 Preparation. Prior to sediment evaluation, components shall not be rinsed, wiped, or cleaned in any way other than what i

12、s typical for the production process if quantitative debris assessment is required. Lot numbers or other pertinent shipment information should be recorded for samples to be tested. Protect samples from airborne debris during transport to the sediment test equipment and avoid rough handling. 4.2 Cond

13、itions. 4.2.1 Environmental Conditions. 4.2.1.1 When evaluating traction motor assemblies, rotor and stator shall be checked separately. 4.2.1.2 Test frequency and sample size should be determined per control plan. Sample size shall be sufficient to allow for statistical control of production proces

14、ses and establishment of control limits. Reduced sampling is possible based on statistical data showing process capability. 4.2.1.3 Reintroduction of test samples into the production process must occur before the end of line test. 4.2.2 Test Conditions. Deviations from the requirements of this stand

15、ard shall have been agreed upon. Such requirements shall be specified on component drawings, test certificates, reports, etc. 4.3 Instructions. 4.3.1 Prepare Test Equipment and Materials. 4.3.1.1 Oven dry the required number of filters for 30 minutes to 35 minutes at 50 C to 55 C. Allow filters to c

16、ool for 15 minutes to 20 minutes in a desiccator prior to use. Times and temperatures may be adjusted to meet current plant practices and production schedules. 4.3.1.2 Ascertain the weight of filters to the nearest 0.1 mg (milligram) by means of an analytical balance and record the value in milligra

17、ms. 4.3.1.3 Rinse collection tub/tray before and after each test with a sufficient quantity of wash fluid to purge the system of any foreign material. Collect the fluid in a beaker and visually examine the sediment for unusual particles or amounts. Equipment and materials should be protected from en

18、vironmental contamination when not in use. 4.3.1.4 For reusable wash fluid, cleanliness shall be checked as follows. Collect at least 1 L of homogeneous rinse fluid in a clean beaker and note the volume used. Filter the fluid with vacuum assist through a pre-dried and pre-weighed 5 micron (maximum)

19、filter. Remove filter from the funnel and expose to drying cycle (4.3.2.5.1). Determine amount of residue collected by subtracting original filter weight from weight of filter plus (+) residue. If amount of residue exceeds 0.50 mg/L, wash fluid must be replaced with new. Wash fluid must be replaced

20、annually regardless of test results. 4.3.2 Cleaning and Measurement of Test Sample. Prepare the required number of filters per 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.1.2. 4.3.2.1 Place the component to be evaluated in the clean collection tub/tray. Thoroughly rinse the component with a maximum pressure of 300 kPa and a mi

21、nimum of 1 L of solvent. Efforts should be made to ensure that all foreign material and loose debris are removed from the motor component including those in the enclosed areas. 4.3.2.2 Burrs resulting from machining operations, assembly operations, etc., which remain firmly attached after rinsing an

22、d air blowout shall be noted but shall not be included in the total sediment weight. Appropriate equipment (mirrors, lights) shall be used to inspect enclosed areas for loose chips not removed by the rinse. In such cases, proper actions shall be taken to improve the cleanliness process. 4.3.2.3 Plac

23、e dried and weighed filters in the filtration funnel. 4.3.2.4 Filter the wash fluid using the pre-dried and pre-weighed filters. Vacuum assist is permissible. Rinse the collection chamber/beaker thoroughly and transfer completely the wash fluid to the funnel for filtering. 4.3.2.5 Carefully remove t

24、he filter from funnel and expose to the following drying cycle. 4.3.2.5.1 Filters must be dried 30 minutes to 35 minutes at 50 C to 55 C. Times and temperatures may be adjusted to meet current plant practices and production schedules as long as there is evidence that filter weight has stabilized for

25、 that cycle.

26、2 Page 3 of 4 4.3.2.5.2 After drying, the filters shall be placed in a desiccator to cool for 15 minutes to 20 minutes. Debris samples must be properly identified. 4.3.2.6 Weigh dried filter plus (+) sediment and record weight. 4.3.3 Post-Washing Component Handling. 4.3.3.1 Components and assemblies

27、 shall be scrapped after the sediment test unless they meet all requirements specified on the print and are approved by GM Engineering. Sealed bearing and seal containing components shall be discarded after the sediment test. 4.3.3.2 Traction motor components, rotor and stator, shall be dried to be

28、within 10 g of the initial component weight, if they are to return to service. Recommended drying procedure is ambient air dry for 24 hours for stators and 150 C for 30 minutes or less for rotors in addition to 24 h ambient air dry. 4.3.3.3 Washed components shall be rust-proofed to meet the origina

29、l requirements before they are re-introduced into GM applications. 5 Data 5.1 Calculations. Determine total sediment weight by subtracting filter weight (4.3.1.2) from weight of filter plus (+) sediment (4.3.2.6). When two filters are used (3.2.1), weights should be reported for each filter size. 5.
