Discuss the requirements for a lube oil sample drawn from the MRG LO System - Answers The MRG
LO system is purifiable and therefore a sample is UNSAT if it fails to meet the clear and bright test.

purification. Refer to NSTM 262 for flow chart and more details
Discuss the requirements for a lube oil sample drawn from the CPP LO system - Answers This uses
NSTM 245 to determine sample criteria. A sample is considered UNSAT after it fails the BS&W test
with more than .1 SED and more than .4 comb
Discuss the requirements for lube oil sample drawn from a LSB - Answers This is a non-purifiable
system/sump. If the sample fails the clear and bright, the transparency test or the visible sediment
test must be preformed. If it still fails those test then a BS&W test must be performed and if it is less
than .1 SED and less than .4 comb it is an SAT sample

RPM for 30 minutes
How do you conduct a transparency test on non-purifiable samples? - Answers Place a PMS card
behind bottom and read, if it can be read the sample is SAT
How do you conduct a visible sediment test? - Answers Let bottle sit for 10 minutes, the place the
bottle on its side for 10 minutes. If sediment is greater than 1/8th an inch or forms a solid line along
the bottom, the sample is UNSAT

previous surveys
When do you need to rush survey results to the CO? - Answers The current watch rotation exceeds
the recommend heat stress stay time
, When is a time weighted mean? - Answers Allows watch standers to stay in the space longer by
allowing them to take breaks and cool off in a location cooler than the watchstation
When are time weighted means applied during the course of standing watch? - Answers In a hot
environment where reduced stay times have been imposed on watch/work stations
