Lubrication Program
Purpose The Lubrication Program has been established to ensure that all equip-
ment receives and maintains the required levels of lubrication so that no
equipment fails as a result of inadequate or improper lubrication.
Rmgram Components The Lubrication Program is comprised of the following:
regularly scheduled equipment lubrication (PM)
an oil sampling and testing program
- lubrication training
Program Support Lubrication Services will support the Unit A Lubrication Program as
follows:
Serve as administrator of the Unit “A” Master Lubrication Schedule,
incorporating revisions to the schedule as requested by the Reliability
Specialist
Provide the Monthly Lubrication Schedule
Carry out the Oil Sampling and Testing Program
Assist in Failure Analysis Program as required
Recondition oil reservoirs as required
Recondition transformer oil as required
* Perform biannual Lubrication Program health assessment
Regularly Scheduled Regularly scheduled equipment lubrication will be the responsibility of
Equipment Lubrication the Process Technicians. A Monthly Lubrication Schedule defining
equipment requiring lubrication will be sent by Lubrication Services to
the reliability Specialist who will coordinate with the Process Supervisor
to schedule the work to be done.
The technician(s) assigned to perform the lubrication shall initial and
date the Monthly Lubrication Schedule as work is completed and return
the completed schedule to the Reliability Specialist.
Standby Equipment Experience indicates that false brinelling may occur in the bearings of
standby equipment; a result of foundation vibration. To avoid this poten-
tial problem, standby equipment will be lubricated regardless of whether
or not it has been operated.
Prior to lubrication, equipment shall be “bump-started” using the jog-
off-auto IJOAl switch.
Equipment History Completed Monthly Lubrication Schedules will be filed in the records
room located in building as part of the maintenance history for the plant.
Retention period for completed Monthly Lubrication Schedules is cur-
rent plus one-year.
Grease Lubrication Where applicable, all grease lubricated equipment (specifically motors)
shall be equipped with grease fitting(s) and grease relief(s). Prior to
lubrication, it is the technician’s responsibility to verify that equipment
has been properly equipped.
All deficiencies should be forwarded to the Reliability Department for
correction prior to lubrication.
