1.0 Purpose

This procedure defines the general principles and guidelines for hot oil flushing of
piping or tubing system.

2.0 Scope

Applicable to piping or tubing system that requires hot oil flushing after pressure
testing.

3.0 Reference

3.1 ISO 5910 Hydraulic Fluid Power. Cleaning of Hydraulic Pipe Systems.
3.2 ISO 5911 Hydraulic Fluid Power. Methods for Coding Levels of
Contamination by Solid Particles.

4.0 Equipment & Material

‰ Oil flushing unit.

‰ Cleaning Flushing oil (quantity depends on piping/tubing system).

‰ Flushing hoses with various sizes and length.

‰ Assorted flanges of various sizes.

‰ Cleanness analyzer

‰ Filter cleaning device

5.0 Safety Precaution

5.1 Only personnel with adequate training shall execute hot oil flushing.

5.2 Designated area is to be cordoned off with safety barrier tape and signboards
displayed.

5.3 Safety permit and flushing oil data sheet shall be displayed at the oil-flushing
unit.

3
6.0 General Requirement

6.1 Air flushing or water flushing or chemical cleaning/pickling shall be carried

out on the piping system prior to hot oil flushing.

6.2 Pipelines that are not in the flushing loop shall be blanked to prevent dirt entry.

7.0 Preparation

7.1 Instrumentation connected to the pipe/tubing system is to be removed and

blanked off.

7.2 System components that restrict the oil flow or can be damaged shall be
removed.

7.3 Flanges and hoses are to be installed as in the looping diagram.

7.4 Ensure the flushing unit tank is cleaned before filling flushing oil.

8.0 Calculation

For optimum oil flushing:

Reynold Number of minimum of 4,000

Velocity of 3 m/s is to be achieved.

Formula: Q = RE x Visc X D / 21220

Vel = RE x Visc / (1000 x D)

Where: Q = Flow rate (li/min)

RE = Reynold Number
Visc = Viscosity of oil (cSt)
D = Internal diameter of pipeline (mm)
Vel = Velocity (m/s)

9.0 Procedures

9.1 Fill the flushing unit with cleaning flushing oil.

9.2 Open all the valves of the piping/tubing system and start the pump.
9.3 Heat the flushing oil to 60 degrees Celsius.

9.4 Monitor the oil flow rate and adjust to the required flow.

4
 9.5 Control valve at time interval to divert oil flow direction to other pipelines.

9.6 Minimum 6 hours of hot oil flushing.

10.0 Inspection

10.1 During the flushing operation the line has to be hammered every 30 minutes,
oil sample is to be taken after 4 hours and verify the oil cleanliness against
required standard.

10.2 Standard cleanliness required is NAS 1638 Class 8 or better for hydraulic oil
system, Standard cleanliness required is NAS 1638 Class 10 or better for
lubricating oil system ， Standard cleanliness required is depend on the
cleanness of filer paper for lubricating oil system.

10.3 If sample found clean, request Owner Rep for inspection after next 2 hours. If
sample found not clean, continue oil flushing and verify again after 4 hours.

10.4 On successful inspection and acceptance by Owner Rep, the flushing oil is to
be blown out by dry filtered air or nitrogen.

11.0 Documentation

11.1 The attachments below shall be prepared and signed off by the Owner Rep.

Attachments are as follows:

‰ Looping diagrams（see attached drawing ）

‰ Flushing oils data sheet

‰ Cleanness analyzer
