46 CFR §58.30-15

§ 58.30-15 -15 Pipe, tubing, valves, fittings, pumps, and motors. (a) The requirements of this section are applicable to those hydraulic and pneumatic systems listed in § 58.30-1. (b) Materials used in the manufacture of tubing, pipes, valves, flanges, and fittings must be selected from those specifications that appear in table 1 to § 56.60-1 or table 1 to § 56.60-2; or they may be selected from the material specifications of Section I or Section VIII of the ASME BPVC (both incorporated by reference; see § 58.03-1). Materials designated by other specifications must be evaluated on the basis of physical and chemical properties. To assure these properties, the specifications must specify and require such physical and chemical testing as considered necessary by the Commandant. All tubing an

46 CFR §61.20-23

§ 61.20-23 -23 Tailshaft clearance; bearing weardown. (a) Water lubricated bearings, other than rubber, must be rebushed as follows: (1) Where the propelling machinery is located amidship, the after stern tube bearing must be rebushed when it is worn down to 6.4 mm (0.25 in) clearance for shafts of 229 mm (9 in) or less in diameter, 7.95 mm (0.3125 in) clearance for shafts exceeding 229 mm (9 in) but not exceeding 305 mm (12 in) in diameter, and 9.53 mm (0.375 in) clearance for shafts exceeding 305 mm (12 in) in diameter. (2) Where the propelling machinery is located aft, the after stern tube bearing must be rebushed when weardown is 1.6 mm (.0625 in) less than the applicable clearance for propelling machinery located amidship. (b) Water lubricated rubber bearings must be rebushed when

DOE-HDBK-1011 Vol.4 §14-1

DOE-HDBK-1011 Vol.4 §14-1 — Test instruments for distribution maintenance Maintaining a distribution system depends on correct use of test instruments. The multimeter (analog VOM or digital DMM) measures voltage (connected in parallel across the points, high input resistance to avoid loading), current (connected in series, or via a clamp/CT for large currents, low insertion resistance), and resistance (on de-energized, isolated circuits only, using the meter's own source). The wattmeter reads true power directly by combining a current coil and a voltage coil, so it accounts for power factor, and on switchboards it is fed through CTs and PTs. The megohmmeter (megger) applies a high DC test voltage (commonly 500-1000 V) to read insulation resistance in megohms, the primary test for motor, g
