HULL NO. 85505/6/7/8
Hydraulic Oil Flushing Procedure DWG NO. DB000P014

A. Deck machinery flushing of hydraulic pipes.

1. Flushing must always be carried out on the spot and only after all the pipes are assembled.

2. The oil used for the flushing must be suitable for cleaning and antirusting.
It must also be compatible with the hydraulic oil which will be used in the system.

3. During flushing all the valve and actuators (hydraulic motors and cylinder) must be passed by a hose or a
temporary pipe.

4. Flushing is carried out in one pipe line at a time with a separate flushing aggregate.

5. During flushing the oil flow must be approximately two times greater than oil flow in normal operation or
not less than indicated in table 1.

6. The flushing circuit must have a sufficiently big filter equipped with a pressure gauge for monitoring the
dirtying of the filter.
Filteration grade of the filter should be 10 µm (β 10 >75) or better.

7. The piping or the flushing aggregate should contain an adjustable check valve or pressure regulating valve,
by which the flushing oil temperature may be easily risen to the correct value 60…70 . ℃
8. During flushing the piping must be hammered e.g. by a lead hammer to make all foreign pieces loosen from the
piping.
Special attention must be paid to welded seams. If the hammering is left undone the flushing effect will be
greatly reduced.

9. Flushing time depends on the length of the piping, the flushing flow, the oil temperature, the filter and most of
all on the degree of precleaning of the piping.
The flushing time depends on the length of the piping, the flushing flow, the oil temperature, the filter and most
of all on the degree of precleaning of the piping.
Poorly cleaned and rusty pipes may no be cleaned by flushing.

10. Take oil samples from the piping and the oil reservoir. When the cleanliness of the piping is class 18/13 of
ISO 4406, flushing may be stopped.
ISO 4406, Class 18/13:
Size of particle (µm) Max.number of Particles / 100 ml
> 5 190,000
> 10 32,000
> 15 6,500
> 25 950
> 50 120
> 100 32

11. When the flushing has stopped, drain the piping and connect the actuators, valves and the aggregate to the
piping.

This working must be carried out with absolute cleanliness.

B. Vavle remote control system

Oil flushing procedure for hydraulic remote control system

1. The oil hydraulic circulation circuit should be by-passed from Hydraulic Power Unit, Control Box and
Hydraulic oil Cylinder. (Flushing works for above unit, and box were finished completely in maker factory)

2. Hydraulic oil pump for flushing should be prepared filter for suction side(80 mesh) and return oil (300 mesh)
to be prepared.

3. System oil should be passed through into piping line, and made hammering to get rid of obstacle.
And, check for the filter at a proper time and confirm to an effect of re-movement of obstacles.

4. Judge the contamination grade according to the obstacles gathered by the filter, and stop the oil flow.
(standard judgement of contamination grade NAS-Class 10)

5. Re-assemble the by-pass piping with care, so as the obstacles does not enter into the system.
