    The document discusses the requirements and procedures for conducting brake holding capacity tests on mooring winches as required by class societies and oil companies. It outlines what equipment is needed to perform the test, including a hydraulic jack, bracket, and understanding of the mathematical formula. The test must be done every 12 months or after any repair to ensure the brakes can safely hold the required load capacity and identify any issues that require adjustment or repair. With the proper equipment and understanding of the process, the ship's crew can conduct the important safety test.

    Formula :

    4 x B x 1000 x a I= 2 3.14 x d x b
    I=
    the pressure which should be exceeded for the drum to start turning

    B = Brake capacity in Tons a = Brake Drum radius in cm. b = Distance between supporting point and axe of
    the drum in cm.

    d = Diameter of piston of hydraulic jack in cm

    At the first sight of movement:

    Pressure < than designed, the brake should be tightened or repaired and repeat the test Pressure = than designed, remove the test gear. Its O.K If slippage does not occur, the brake setting should be adjusted so the brake can render the design load.
