GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 042 GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS 042a. Scope This section contains nontechnical requirements and procedures, the intent of the General Specifications for Overhaul of Surface Ships (hereinafter referred to as GSO), definitions of administrative terms, specification requirements, schedule and correspondence requirements, and similar requirements. 042b. Intent The GSO establishes NAVSEA requirements for the administration and conduct of quality surface ship overhauls. It is the intent of these specifications to obtain a ship or ships with machinery, equipment, and systems complete and in every way ready to perform during its next operating cycle, to the extent that work is specifically authorized, and to secure uniformity in workmanship and procedure, and standardization of all auxiliaries and fittings on all ships of the same type. It is the responsibility of work authorizing activities to ensure the technical specifications are invoked for all authorized work assigned to the overhauling activity. Ship Alterations - The GSO is the primary source of technical requirements for ship alterations. Therefore, the GSO contains the technical requirements to be invoked throughout the SHIPALT and associated drawing development process. Since SHIPALTS often provide state of the art technical improvements, the GSO cannot totally define all potential design specifications. Therefore, specifications which exceed the requirements specified herein shall be included in the SHIPALT. The SHIPALT development process shall also include a review of original shipbuilding specifications to assure that SHIPALT specified criteria do not result in inadvertent re-design of an as-built ship design unless an upgrading of ship design is the intent of the SHIPALT. It is not the intent of the GSO to invoke or authorize upgrading of ships systems to current GSO specifications. Should system upgrade be intended, the upgrade will be accomplished by shipalt as outlined in Section 085. Section 085 herein provides the requirements for the SHIPALT developmental process. Review of original shipbuilding specifications is required also when developing SHIPALTS for ships built to commercial specifications. Overhaul and repair - The GSO is the primary source of technical requirements for overhaul and repair of ships' equipment. Other GSO sections herein contain technical specifications for overhaul and repairs including the use of Technical Repair Standards (TRS). Paragraph 042c. further defines overhaul and repair criteria. It is not the intent of the GSO to invoke or authorize upgrading of ship systems to current GSO specifications. Should system upgrade be intended the upgrade will be accomplished by shipalt as outlined in section 085. In certain instances, work and test requirements have been identified as a mandatory requirement which the work authorizing activity shall invoke for overhauls. These work and test requirements determined to be mandatory are specifically identified in the applicable GSO section. It is the responsibility of the overhauling activities to accomplish all work authorized and to comply with the corresponding applicable specifications. Non-compliance with specifications or non-accomplishment of authorized work is subject to waiver and deviation approval in accordance with MIL-STD-973. The applicable authorizing activity is to notify NAVSEA in writing whenever the authorizing agent does not intend to invoke a specification contained in the GSO, with the authorizing activities supporting rationale. NAVSEA approval is required on such requests. General - In general, requirements for new and modified systems and requirements for overhaul of existing systems are identified within each GSO section. Where technical guidance is not considered adequate for new installations or modified systems the cognizant Engineering Agent shall request appropriate guidance from NAVSEA. These specifications and the individual work specifications define the services and materials to be provided. The provisions of the GSO do not apply to any work in the reactor plant or tender nuclear support facility area. For overhaul work, routine repair work and alterations in non-reactor propulsion plant spaces on nuclear ships, see Nuclear Supplement, NAVSEA S9AA0-AB-GOS-020. Unauthorized modifications to naval ships shall not be accomplished. OPNAVINST 4720.93 provides prohibitions against unauthorized modifications and OPNAVINST 4720.2 provides planning procedures for the Fleet Modernization Program (FMP). With respect to materials of construction and items or components of machinery, equipment, and outfit, which by their nature may be manufactured or procured as distinct items or components, these specifications generally contain requirements and information that pertain

Section 042

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

to selection, installation, shipboard performance, shipboard inspection and tests, and pre-installation handling by the Contractor. Requirements such as physical or chemical properties, manufacturer test and inspection requirements, or other requirements applicable only to manufacturers, are contained in Government Specifications, standards, drawings, or in other documents referenced herein. It is, therefore, inappropriate to incorporate any section(s) of these specifications by reference in Contractor procurement documents. Such incorporation imposes an unnecessary burden on manufacturers and suppliers. If one or more paragraphs of these specifications are considered applicable for a particular procurement, they should be expressly quoted in the Contractor's purchase specifications or other procurement documents. 042c. Definitions As based throughout the GSO, the following terms have meanings as indicated: The Government is the United States Government. The Department is the Department of the Navy. The Secretary is the Secretary of the Navy or his authorized representative. NAVSEA is the Headquarters of the Naval Sea Systems Command, and supersedes NAVSHIPS and NAVORD. Where the term NAVSEA is used in these specifications in connection with letters, instructions, and manuals it shall be understood to include existing non-cancelled documents still having NAVSHIPS/NAVORD/BUWEPS/BUSHIPS designation. SPAWAR is the headquarters of the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command. Wherever such terms as "as approved" "for approval" or "as directed" are used without further qualification, it is the approval, decision, or direction of the Supervisor that is intended. The term Supervisor, as used in these specifications means the Supervisor of Shipbuilding, Conversion, and Repair, USN. Under certain conditions the duties of the Supervisor may be transferred to a Contract Administration Services Activity of the Department of Defense in which case that activity becomes the Supervisor. The Commanding Officer of the U.S. Naval Ship Repair Facility, Yokosuka, Japan (SRF) is designated as Supervisor for the application of duties, responsibilities and authority for specifications herein. The Shipyard Commander assumes the responsibilities and duties of the Supervisor for ships being overhauled in a Naval Shipyard. A Contractor is a firm holding a prime contract with the Government for overhaul of the ship. For ships being overhauled in a Naval Shipyard, the term "Contractor" shall be construed as referring to the Shipyard Commander. Specification requirement - A statement of means or criteria (such as size, quality, or performance) governing process, materials, constructions, repairs. Supervisor Work Specifications are the specific work requirements authorized for the ship overhaul. This term is synonymous with the term Bid Package. Work items are items of authorized work identified in the Supervisors Work Specifications. Standards are documents that establish engineering and technical limitations, application of items, materials, processes, methods, and engineering practices. Overhauled system - A system which is refurbished but not changed, except for replacement of defective equipment. Modified system - A system where configuration is changed either through a change in the configuration of the equipment or components comprising the system or by relocation of these equipments and components within the system. New system - A system not previously installed. Naval Ships' Technical Manual - NAVSEA S9086-AA-STM-000 (hereafter referred to as NSTM) - The NSTM provides technical information and requirements for ships of the United States Navy. The various chapters of the NSTM contain detailed administrative and technical instructions which amplify U.S. Navy regulations and other authoritative documents. The NSTM also provides information to govern industrial activities in ship and equipment repair and overhaul. Technical Repair Standards (NAVSEAINST 4160.2) (hereafter referred to as TRS) - A TRS is a technical document which provides the minimum requirements and procedures for the overhaul of an item to a specified condition (as defined herein). The TRS is a standard, not simply a procedure or a substitute for a technical or maintenance manual. Unless otherwise specified, wherever the terms "installed," "fitted," "furnished," or "provided" are used, it is the intent of these specifications that the Contractor shall provide and install or provide adequate onboard stowage for the equipment, as applicable. Where the term overhaul appears, it shall be construed to include conversion when the ship using this specification is in fact undergoing conversion. The term overhaul as used is intended to include work performed during Regular Overhauls (ROH), Complex Overhauls (COH), Baseline Overhauls (BOH), Selected Restricted Availabilities (SRA), and Phased Maintenance Availabilities (PMA). Where the term "existing ship" is referenced herein, it is intended to mean the ship under Contract. Where the term "herein" is used, it is intended to mean these General Specifications for Overhaul of Surface Ships (GSO). When reference is made herein to class of overhaul for ship systems and components, the following definitions apply: Class A - Work that requires such overhaul or repairs, modifications, field changes, ORDALTS or SHIPALTS as will sustain or improve the operating and performance characteristics of the system, subsystem, or component being repaired or altered to meet the "most recent" design and technical specifications for that item. It is intended that the end product be in "like new" condition in appearance as

Section 042

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

well as in operation and performance. All manufacturers' and technical manual performance standards and specifications, unless superseded by proper authority, will be met, as will all technical documentation. The repair activity will demonstrate that the end product successfully meets all performance criteria specified by the governing specifications. Defining an overhaul as Class "A" means that all actions required to meet the definitions are authorized. The definition is applicable to all components, subsystems, and systems whether machinery, electrical, hull, electronics, or weapons. Class B - Work that requires such overhaul or repairs as will restore the operating and performance characteristics of a system, subsystem, or component to its original design and technical specifications. If it is required to restore the operating and performance characteristics of an item to other than its original design and technical performance specifications, it must be so specified and the performance criteria defined. SHIPALTS, ORDALTS, MACHALTS, field changes, and modifications, even if applicable, are not to be accomplished unless specified by the customer. Maintenance, adjustment, and calibration routines specified by the applicable instruction manual, unless superseded by authority, are required. The repair activity will demonstrate that the end product successfully meets all performance criteria specified by the governing specifications. Class C - Repair work on a system, subsystem, or component specified by the work request or that work required to correct the particular deficiencies or malfunctions specified by the customer. The repair activity must demonstrate that the work requested has been accomplished or that the conditions or malfunctions described have been corrected, but the repairing activity has no responsibility for the repair or proper operation of the associated components of the equipment or for the operation of the system as a whole. The term Class "C" is synonymous with the term "repair". Class D - Work associated with the "Open, Inspect, and Report" type of work request in which the customer cannot be specific about what is or may be wrong with the item. This class of work is intended to be diagnostic and thus may require various tests, followed by inspection, to assist in a complete diagnosis. The repair activity will report findings, recommendations, and cost estimates to the customer for authorization prior to any repair work. When requested by the customer, minor repairs and adjustments may be accomplished without prior authorization to the extent specified. Class E - Work required to incorporate all alterations and modifications specified for a designated system, subsystem, or component. The repair activity will demonstrate the successful checkout of the work accomplished to assure compliance with the performance standards established for the modification only to the extent of the work performed. When required by the customer, the repair activity will conduct system tests to prove system operability through affected interfaces. Repairs, if any, are minor. Repair - The word repair is synonymous with a Class "C" overhaul as defined herein. Concerning Class "B" overhauls - The repair and refurbishment of systems, equipments and components is intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and to assure the items will function properly without failure between ships overhauls. The class "B" repair does not necessarily require all items to be restored to an "as new" condition. Therefore, sections of this GSO include repair specifications and allowances for wear and use (i.e., Sections 300, 503, 505). These allowances for wear and use are provided herein for use when there is no applicable Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Should a class "B" overhaul be required on an item and a TRS has been developed, the Supervisor's Work Specification shall invoke the TRS. 042d. Referenced Documents Documents which are referred to in these specifications or in documents referred to herein are of the types defined below and are hereinafter termed "referenced documents". Referenced documents form a part of these specifications to the extent specified. Standard drawing - A NAVSEA drawing identified as "Standard Drawing" which delineates arrangements or details of systems, equipment, or components. No departure from a standard drawing is permissible without specific approval. Type drawing - A NAVSEA drawing identified as "Type Drawing" which delineates or illustrates design features of systems or components. No departure from any feature stated to be mandatory is permissible without specific approval. The illustrative features are subject to detail design development to assure full compliance with these specifications. Installation Control Drawing (ICD) - A drawing that sets forth information and interface characteristics for an item in terms of area, weight, space, access clearance, drainage, mounting, ship service requirements, cleaning, testing, clearance, and pipe, waveguide, and cable attachments required for the installation and co-functioning of the installed item with related items. Design Data Sheet (DDS) - A NAVSEA document which contains material for information and guidance in the design or modification of a ship's system or component. Design Data Sheets illustrate typical design and calculation methods and procedures which are acceptable to the Government. Government specification - A Government document identified as a Federal Specification (Fed. Spec.) or Military Specification (Mil. Spec.) which describes the technical requirements for items, materials, or services, including the procedures by which it will be determined that the requirements have been met. Government standard - A Government document identified as a Federal Standard (Fed. Std.) or Military Standard, (Mil.

Notices, instructions, letters, publications, and standard and type drawings referenced herein form a part of these specifications and shall be those in effect on the date specified in the Supervisors Work Specifications or in the overhaul Contract. If for any reason the Contractor desires to use other than the effective issue or alternates of Industry, Federal or Military Specifications and Standards, or NAVSEA standard and type drawings, he shall obtain Supervisor's approval. The Contractor is responsible for carefully and critically reviewing drawings, (including SHIPALT drawings), if provided, and the Supervisors Work Specifications immediately upon receipt. In case of error, omission, discrepancy, or lack of clarity in the drawings or specifications, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Supervisor requesting clarification. Work performed, based on such an error, omission, discrepancy, or lack of clarity, shall be at the Contractor's own risk. Effective issue - The term "effective issue" refers to the issue of a referenced document, as revised or amended, which in accordance with the requirements of this section, forms a part of these specifications. Reference is made normally only to basic Government specification, standard, or drawing number, without prefix zeros or suffix letters or numbers which identify revisions or amendments. However, the effective issue, revision, or amendment shall not be one whose terms of promulgation make it applicable only to agencies other than NAVSEA. Department of Defense or government supplements forming a part of the industry standards apply when the basic standard is invoked. The effective date of issue shall be as defined in the Supervisors Work Specification. Wherever a primary reference is identified by both its basic number and by issue, revision, or amendment date or designation including those for which specific exceptions are specified, such identified issue shall be the effective issue for the particular use or application cited. Unless otherwise specified, the effective issue of other referenced documents shall be that in effect on the date indicated in the applicable Supervisors Work Specifications. Use of other than effective issues - The effective issues of referenced documents are those invoked by the Contract and as described herein. In accordance with the procedures specified herein for use of other than effective issues, the Contractor may use document issues other than the effective issues. In the event of the use of other than the effective issue, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to assure that the item or material which is in accordance with a document other than the effective issue is not technically inferior to, and is interchangeable as defined in Section 070 with that prescribed by these specifications, does not adversely affect logistic support, and does not impair performance, life, safety, maintainability, and reliability. If use of other than the effective issue would result in any degradation of the requirements of these specifications, the Contractor shall recommend action which will assure that the substitute item or material is technically acceptable for the application. Where primary references are referred to by citing a particular issue (including those for which specific exceptions are specified), approval shall be obtained to use any issue other than the particular issue cited. It is intended that repair and replacement of existing equipment and structure shall duplicate the existing installation. When it is not practicable to duplicate the existing installation, applicable specifications and standards of a later date for equivalent work may be used after approval of the change.

Where other primary references are referred to only by use of the basic identification name or number (without citing a specific issue date or designation), the Contractor may use a later issue (including a superseding issue of a different number) or, subject to written approval, may use an earlier issue (including a superseded issue of a different number) than the effective issue. The Contractor shall notify the Supervisor promptly upon electing to use such later issue and shall identify the expected impact of such substitution upon essential system design parameters or components. If the Supervisor does not concur with the substitution, he will notify the Contractor in writing within 20 calendar days of receipt of the Contractor's notice of election to use a later issue. It is understood that electing to use earlier or later issues than those specified shall be at no cost to the Government. Where an earlier or later issue is used, it shall be used in its entirety (that is, all requirements pertaining to a particular type or class), unless specifically approved otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, these specifications do not prescribe effective issue requirements of sub-tier references. Allowance List - The Contractor shall provide such data as may be required by the Supervisor to aid the latter in the preparation of the allowance lists. Departures - Departures from specifications shall be reported by the Contractor in accordance with MIL-STD-973. 042f. Overhaul Schedules and Reports The Contractor shall prepare schedules necessary for the purpose of establishing an orderly and systematic overhaul program. 1. These schedules shall include but shall not be limited to the following: a. A Principal Events Schedule for overhaul of the ship. This schedule should be prepared by the Contractor, with schedule and actual dates listed for each item. These networks shall reflect to the maximum extent practicable the manner in which the total project will be performed. Networks shall contain a NAVSEA provided set of milestone events together with sufficient detail to provide intermediate check points at which progress toward each of these milestones can be measured. The number of NAVSEA provided milestone events will be held to the minimum number required for effective management control, but in no case shall the required number cause undue complication in computer updating of the basic networks. Should this condition arise, additional networks to accommodate all milestone events, shall be developed and maintained, to facilitate computer updating. Networks shall be updated on a continuing basis to reflect changing situations. Two copies of an updated complete set of networks shall be submitted to the Supervisor not later than 120 days prior to the start of the overhaul availability. Unless otherwise specified these networks shall be in PERT/CPM format. b. The Overhaul Contractor shall process the total network data and produce a report consisting of the NAVSEA provided milestone events together with the scheduled date, expected date, latest allowable date and slack time (positive or negative) for each milestone event. Slack time shall be shown in terms of working days. The milestone event report will be provided in three sequences: by NAVSEA milestone event number and title; by scheduled event date; and by slack time. The milestone event reports shall be accompanied by a narrative analysis of the four most critical paths and a statement of management action being taken or planned and other comments as appropriate. The initial milestone report shall be submitted with the preliminary network. c. As a minimum, the Overhaul Contractor shall perform computer updating of basic network data to reflect current status, as follows: (1) Under the initial (overhaul preparation) Contract, monthly. This will include, but is not limited to, re-estimates of time, additions, deletions, completions, and changes to schedule dates. A revised milestone event report shall be provided from each updating. Updated milestone event reports, together with supporting narrative statements, shall be submitted so as to arrive at NAVSEA not later than seven calendar days after the cut-off date for the report data. The Contractor shall attend meetings for discussions concerning scheduling and networks when requested by NAVSEA. 2. A drawing schedule showing the required availability dates, current schedule dates, and final delivery dates of all drawings, including vendor drawings. The schedule shall be maintained current and shall contain other data as approved by the Supervisor. The schedule shall be submitted to NAVSEA as directed by the Supervisor. 3. A schedule of required dates for Government Furnished Material (GFM), showing the dates on which this material is required at the shipyard for fabrication, erection, or installation. This schedule shall contain other data as approved by the Supervisor. Schedules shall include dates for technical support requirements. 4. A material ordering schedule, as required by the Supervisor, showing the dates on which each item should be ordered, updated to show current estimated and actual contract award dates, to meet the shipyard required dates as listed in the schedule of required dates for material. This schedule shall contain other data as approved by the Supervisor. 5. A technical publications schedule listing all Contractor-furnished technical manuals and books, including changes, or modifications, as well as microfilm including a breakdown of types and categories thereof. This schedule shall indicate the estimated and actual shipping date of preliminary and final publications to ships, follow yards (including appropriate Naval Supervising Activity) and tenders. Where provision of a publication is dependent upon receipt of design or lead yard furnished publication, the estimated and actual receipt date of the design or lead yard publications shall be shown. The schedule shall also contain a brief explanation for delinquency including designation of activity responsible for current holdup and expected release date. The above schedule shall be submitted monthly after the start of overhaul and shall contain other data as approved by the Supervisor. 6. Test schedules shall be kept current with the progress of the work. As each item on each schedule is completed, this shall be indicated, thus, these schedules will also serve as reports on the progress of the work. Similarly, if the Contractor encounters difficulty in

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

meeting requirements or anticipates difficulty in complying with the contract schedule dates, this shall be indicated. Overhaul schedules and reports required throughout these specifications shall be prepared. 7. When it is determined by the Contractor that additional work or material procurement may be necessary in order to produce a reliable or complete repair for a work item, a report containing supporting data shall be submitted as early as possible. Such reports shall contain the name and hull number of the ship, job order and work item numbers, a description of the conditions found with supporting data, recommendations, and a list of material required. 8. NAVSEA may assist the Contractor in the preparation of required schedules. However, such assistance will not relieve the Contractor of his responsibility for effective scheduling and timely completion of the ship. 9. Post Overhaul Analysis Report - A post overhaul analysis shall be prepared after the end of each overhaul. This analysis should identify significant problems (non-nuclear) encountered during pre-overhaul and overhaul periods. The Contractor shall submit a report coincidentally with the departure report. Narrative analysis of critical items with management action and the networks established in 042f form the basis for this report. Specific areas of consideration are as follows, however, they are not intended to be all inclusive or to preclude other areas of consideration. a. Estimated vs actual costs, limit to gross differences. Estimated costs are those provided by a Naval Shipyard in the Overhaul Work Booklet, and for private overhaul yards as provided in the Contract Proposal. Actual costs are those provided in departure reports. b. Performance for overhaul preparation and conduct. c. Performance analysis, including event identification, of early and late overhaul completion. d. Delineate areas of major shipwork where original plans for accomplishment were changed due to either infeasibility or because a better way was found. e. Timeliness and accuracy of software and Long Lead Time Material (LLTM) product availability; or inadequacy and resultant impact on overhaul. f. Impact of emergent or new work items on overhaul cost and schedule. g. Effectiveness of liaison arrangements, including Liaison Action Record (LAR). h. Recommendations for improvement of future overhaul work packages. i. Recommendations on minimizing material problems. j. Comparison of milestone/key events schedule versus actual accomplishment dates. k. Effectiveness of the Pre-Overhaul Test Program including recommendations where the Contractor is responsible for such pre-overhaul testing. l. Innovative scheduling or work procedures used which contributed to reduction in time or cost. m. Recommendations and/or corrective actions taken to preclude delays or cost overruns or both. n. Lessons learned and recommendations to improve planning and support (such as drawing or material delivery). o. Final material costs as compared to the initial material estimates, and impact statement due to inflationary trends. p. Impact upon final overhaul costs as compared to initial planning estimate due to changes in shipyard wage rate. q. Impact upon overhaul cost, mandays, and schedule due to major changes in technical and administrative requirements. The intent of this analysis and report is to provide to management in NAVSEA, SUPSHIPS, PERA, Overhaul Yards, Planning Yards, and Work Sponsors, solutions to critical problems arising in the actual pre-overhaul planning and overhaul conduct, thereby avoiding costly and time-consuming efforts for solving problems in subsequent overhauls when solutions may already be available. 042g. Specification Change Procedures Advance Change Proposals (ACPs) may be initiated by users of the GSO. GSO ACPs are to be submitted to Norfolk Naval Shipyard (Code 240) and must provide the following information: 1. Name of originating activity, address, organizational code, point of contact, phone number, and date prepared. 2. Title of affected section. 3. Number of affected section. 4. Description of proposed change - explicit instructions as to what words, lines or paragraphs are proposed to be deleted and what words, lines or paragraphs are proposed to be added must be provided in the ACP. The ACP originator should describe the change exactly as he wishes to see it in print. 5. Justification for the proposed change - a comprehensive discussion of either the problem the ACP intends to correct or the new capability the ACP intends to provide. The nature of the defect, failure, incident, malfunction, shall be described in detail, substantiating the need for change. 6. Estimated cost impact per ship if the proposed change is implemented. If practical, the estimate should include total installation costs (e.g., testing, Technical Manual update, Selected Record Data update).

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 045 CARE OF SHIP DURING OVERHAUL 045a. Scope This section contains nontechnical requirements for the care of ship during overhaul, repair, and alteration. Unless otherwise directed, the following requirements shall be complied with for ships entering an industrial availability. General care of the ship and surrounding area requires surveillance 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. 045b. General All parts of the ship including, but not limited to, structure, deck coverings, fittings, equipage, outfit, furniture, insulation, paint work, boilers, machinery, auxiliary systems, appliances, and apparatus shall be maintained in a satisfactory condition during the entire period the ship is in the Contractor's possession. Appropriate measures shall be taken, where necessary or if directed by the Supervisor, to keep to a minimum wear and damage incident to overhaul, and to prevent corrosion or other deterioration, especially to unpainted, polished, and moving parts. Unless otherwise specified herein, piping, machinery, and equipment subject to freezing shall be kept drained, except during tests and trials. Special measures shall be taken during the overhaul period to keep the ship's ventilation ducts clean by installing temporary filter material over each system. Equipment, prefabricated parts, furniture, and items such as lines and canvas, which are stowed in warehouses or on piers during the ship overhaul period shall be thoroughly examined for and rid of mold, fungus, or vermin before being placed on board. Machinery and Equipment - The Contractor is responsible for the care of all machinery, repair parts, and equipment, whether furnished by him or by the Government. Electric and electronic equipment and machinery shall at all times be protected against dust, moisture, or other foreign matter and shall not be subjected to temperatures above or below their designed limits. Any item allowed to deteriorate, due to lack of care in storage as indicated above, may be subjected to tests at the Contractor's expense to determine its condition and, if necessary, repair or replacement. Replacement or repair of Government-furnished material damaged because of improper care, stowage, or handling by the Contractor, between the time of receipt and the time of completion of overhaul, shall be accomplished at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall maintain environmental conditions to protect all machinery and equipment against dirt, dust, moisture or other foreign matter from the time of receipt to the completion of the overhaul, as approved by the Supervisor, to prevent damage and deterioration. Any item or system allowed to deteriorate or suffer loss of cleanliness, may be subjected to tests at the Contractor's expense to determine its condition and necessity for repair or replacement. All preservatives applied by the manufacturer shall be left intact (or replaced if necessary) until installation of the machinery or equipment on the ship. If removal of the preservative is necessary for testing the machinery or equipment prior to installation, the Contractor shall represerve in accordance with applicable specification and protect the machinery or equipment until installed. All unpainted machinery parts, both interior and exterior, shall be adequately protected against corrosion and deterioration during the interval between manufacture and placing in service onboard ship. Unless otherwise recommended by the equipment manufacturer, all preservative on working parts shall be thoroughly removed prior to operation of the machinery or equipment. Unless otherwise specified herein, machinery which will contain water when in service shall be kept either dry or entirely filled with water. Machinery so filled shall be kept from freezing. NAVSEA S9086-HK-STM-101/CH-241, Naval Ships Technical Manual Chapter 241 shall be followed to prevent rusting of propulsion gears. Dehumidified air shall be circulated if this proves more effective. If unpacking is necessary for any reason, equipment shall be repacked, as approved by the Supervisor, to prevent deterioration and to provide adequate protection until the equipment is installed. Freshwater in diesel engine cooling systems shall be chemically treated in accordance with publication, NAVSEA S9086-HB-STM010/CH-233. The Contractor shall prepare and maintain a material history for Contractor-furnished and Government-furnished equipment in accordance with publication, NAVSEA 0901-004-0001. The material history shall be turned over to the Supervisor for transmittal to ship's force at end of overhaul. Appropriate NAVSEA forms will be provided by the Supervisor upon request. Drydock work period - The Contractor shall provide a certified dockmaster and drydock facilities including railways adequate for the type of work to be accomplished and certified safe in accordance with MIL-STD-1625. The Contractor shall be responsible for the safe docking and undocking of the ship (in accordance with the ship's docking plan) and its condition of stability when waterborne. Prior to any docking or undocking of the ship, the Contractor shall prepare written procedures for the particular ship and a certification of dockmaster. These procedures shall be submitted to the Supervisor for approval. Should there be any evidence that the ship has been strained or damaged during undocking, the ship shall be drydocked immediately. Grounding - Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the ship does not ground at any time. Should grounding occur, the Supervisor shall be notified promptly, and the ship shall be drydocked, if requested by the Supervisor, for thorough examination. A detailed report shall be made for damage covered by insurance, or which may become the subject of any inquiry.

Repair of damage - The Contractor shall repair all damage resulting from collision, docking, fire, corrosion, or other causes, to the extent provided in the Contract. A detailed report shall be made for damage covered by insurance, or which may become the subject of an inquiry. 045c. Fire Protection Fire zone boundaries shall be designated by the Supervisor, with the concurrence of the ship's designated representative responsible for fire protection and damage control, prior to start of overhaul work. Existing transverse watertight, airtight and fume-tight bulkheads shall be used on ships built prior to the requirement for fire zones. Where ships have fire zones by design, the designated bulkheads shall be used. The fire zone boundary shall be continuous throughout the vertical extent of the ship, from keel up to flight deck on carrier-type ships and from keel up to main deck on other ships. On carrier type ships, where hangar deck arrangement makes this impractical, a means should be provided to close the hangar division doors in case of fire. Ships equal to or over 600 feet in length with two or more machinery spaces shall group those spaces together and divide that group into at least two groups by a fire zone boundary. The following table shall be used as a guideline in establishing fire zone boundaries: Ship Length

Minimum Number of Fire Zone Boundaries 2 3

Under 600 feet 600 feet and over

Each fire zone shall be identified by installing a sign adjacent to each entrance. The Contractor shall install and remove temporary services penetrating fire zones, maintain fire zones and maintain records of the fire zones. Ship's force is responsible for setting fire zones in the event of a fire. Temporary access cuts may be made in fire zone boundaries if they are provided with fume-tight closures. Service lines shall not be run through fire zone boundaries unless quick disconnects are installed in temporary service lines at the opening, door or closure and must be securable within three minutes, and written authorization for the service line is made. Rigging of hoses, welding leads and temporary lights shall be kept clear of the decks on temporary "trees" or brackets and be arranged to minimize tripping and other safety hazards. Passageways shall be kept clear of obstructions. Boundary degradation shall be permitted only upon granting written waiver for a limited time, jointly authorized by the ship and the Contractor. An up-to-date record of boundary openings and their locations shall be kept aboard ship by ship's force. On ships with three or less accesses to each machinery space, at least one access shall remain unobstructed for use as an escape route, and for ships with four or more accesses to the machinery spaces, at least two accesses shall remain unobstructed for use as an escape route. Seawater Supply - Seawater for firefighting in both drydock and wet berth shall be provided to the ship through sufficient 2 1/2-inch, 3 1/2-inch, or 4-inch size hoses to efficiently carry capacities specified by Table 1. These requirements shall be in addition to saltwater required for flushing and cooling, and shall be available upon demand within 3 minutes. Examples of additional seawater requirements are water supply for sanitary flushing, electronic cooling, air conditioning, foundry cooling, eductor operations, and berthing barges. (See Table 2 for estimating cooling and flushing loads.) The number of hoses connected to the ship to meet fire protection needs shall be determined by dividing the water supply capacity from Table 1, plus cooling and flushing loads by the hoseline capacity from Table 3 for length of hose to be used. Maximum use of the ship's installed shore firemain connections shall be made to avoid supply through ship's fire plugs and corresponding elimination of fire plug service. Where shore supply must be connected to ship's fire plugs a tri-gate hose connection furnished with the ship's P-250 pumps can be used to permit fire plugs to remain in service while also acting as shore firemain connections. The number of hoses connected to the ship from pier shall not be reduced when ship's pumps become operational unless the installed pumping capacity of the ship can meet the entire fire protection water supply requirement of Table 1.

*Based on 20 psi total friction loss. Work shall be planned and executed in such a manner that permanent fire fighting systems will be out of service for the minimum amount of time. Preference shall be placed on utilizing a ship's permanent firemain piping system with associated fire plug coverage and installed sprinkling systems rather than a shipyard furnished temporary firemain. Firemain gages provided and utilized during overhaul shall be calibrated and in proper working order. Where temporary firemains are necessary, they shall be equipped with a minimum of two segregation valves between shore supply feeders. Additional segregation valves shall be placed in the remainder of the firemain loop so that the maximum distance between any two adjoining valves does not exceed 200 feet. Where water supply to lowermost compartments is provided through fire hoselines dropped to hose stations, those lines shall be valved at the source of supply and the lines unpressurized to preclude inadvertent flooding. Pressure gages shall be installed at the midpoint of the temporary main. For ships other than carrier type ships, where fire hose coverage cannot be provided by using the ship's installed fire plugs supplied from the ship's permanent firemain or a temporary firemain piping system, hose manifolds shall be located on the weather deck or on any lower deck where flooding due to a ruptured hose could be tolerated. Water supply to hose valve manifolds shall be via 2 1/2 inch jumper hose lines from pier outlets. Hose valve manifolds shall be provided in sufficient numbers such that all parts of the ship can be reached by at least two 100 foot hoses.

Combustible crated material and equipment incidental to an overhaul shall not be stored in interior to a ship in excess of one work shift's supply. The intent is to uncrate and off-load all such crating materials by the end of the work shift. Storage of material aboard ship shall be limited to that which is required for work in progress. Such storage shall be located in areas that do not interfere with access to fire fighting equipment or personnel access. Where equipment and materials, including that stowed in bins, is placed and held temporarily on hangar decks, well decks or tank decks, a limit of 8 feet shall be established for high piling stock. A twenty-foot-wide lane should be kept free and clear at all times. Material shall occupy a deck space not to exceed 25 feet by 25 feet with adjacent six-foot-wide aisles on all sides for ready hoseline access. The use of wood shall be minimized to reduce fire hazard. Where wood is used in the form of plywood, or for platform or scaffold planking aboard ship or in the vicinity of the ship, such wood shall be procured with a fire retardant treatment in accordance with MIL SPEC MIL-L-19140, Type II Treatment and Category 2 marking. Pieces cut from scaffold planking need not be remarked or rebranded. Pieces larger than about 1 square foot which are cut from plywood shall show some part of the original mark of staining or shall be remarked to distinctly indicate that it is fire retardant heated. Fireproof or fire-resistant covering such as fireproofed canvas, fire-resistant synthetic fabrics, noncombustible fabrics, metal covers, or other suitable materials, shall be used to protect intricate and vulnerable items of machinery and equipment from falling sparks or other potential sources of fire.

3. Safety nets shall be installed under gangways and platforms that are not fitted with side rails having a vertical height of 42 inches nominal and metallic meshing or similar material with small openings (approximately 1/2 inch) between the top of the rail and the gangway platform deck. Safety nets, when used, shall extend 6 feet beyond each side of gangways and platforms. 4. Gangways shall be maintained free of debris, ice, snow and foreign matter. Portable 15-pound carbon dioxide fire extinguishers shall be the primary means of fighting fires in way of those compartments which contain components or piping made of materials subject to stress corrosion. Freshwater supply and adequate hose for complete coverage shall be available for use in the event that the fire cannot be controlled by carbon dioxide extinguishers. Shipyard fire fighting doctrine shall include adequate preplanning for a probable fire aboard ship. Preplanning shall cover response procedures that ensure the Senior Shorebased Fire Officer and his party responding to a ship fire will report to the ship's quarterdeck, ask for the Command Duty Officer and advise that he is ready to assist. If the ship desires assistance, the shorebased fire officer and his men shall commence operations under the supervision of the ship's Command Duty Officer. The senior member of the shorebased fire department will make recommendations to the Command Duty Officer concerning all aspects of fighting the fire and will retain direct supervision of his own personnel. In the event the Command Duty Officer aboard decides that the shorebased fire department (SBFD) should stand by, he will ensure that the senior member of the SBFD present promptly inspects the area of the fire. On completion of inspection of the fire area, the senior member of the SBFD will make his recommendations to the senior officer onboard. Both the Commanding Officer of the ship and the Shorebased Fire Chief are each responsible for safety of their men. If at this time, the ship decides that the SBFD will continue on standby, then the senior member of the SBFD may notify the higher authority having jurisdiction of the situation. When the ship is in a Naval Shipyard, this authority is the Shipyard Commander. When the Ship is in a private shipyard this authority is the Senior fire chief from the cognizant fire department. This officer will proceed to the scene of the fire and, in consultation with the senior officer onboard, determine the best course of action to fulfill the responsibilities of the Commanding Officer of the ship and the shore authority in controlling damage. For overhauls undertaken in private shipyards, a fire prevention pre-fire planning conference will be held within 5 days after arrival of the ship at the Contractor's facility. The cognizant fire department whose jurisdiction includes the contractor's facility shall be notified in writing of the projected date for ship arrival in the Contractor's facility. Notification shall include name of ship, hull number, size of crew and planned ship's berthing at the time of entry into the contractor's facility. Representatives of the cognizant fire department shall be invited to attend this conference and to meet with representative of the Contractor, the SUPSHIP, and the ship to establish liaison and to review the fire fighting plan. The purpose of the conference is to familiarize (a) the ship's force with the Contractor's procedures for fire fighting and fire prevention, (b) the ship's force with procedures that will be in use by cognizant fire fighting organizations, (c) the Contractor and cognizant fire fighting organizations with the ship arrangement, shipboard fire prevention fire fighting systems equipment and organization, and (d) all parties with the scope of work and ship conditions that have significance in fire prevention and fighting. With the concurrence of the cognizant fire department, tours for their benefit shall be conducted on the ship and on berthing facilities afloat in order to provide familiarity with conditions of a ship in overhaul. Tours shall be conducted by ship's force (preferably the Damage Control Assistant) and shall be offered initially at the time of preplanning and once again when equipment access cuts have been made and the ship is in a disrupted state. Schedule for these tours shall be established on a not-to-interfere-with-production basis and when possible shall include personnel from different work shifts to effect maximum exposure. The fire fighting and fire prevention plan shall be as required by the contract and the conference shall cover: 1. Name, type and location of ship and shipyard. 2.

The tagout procedure used will include those installed devices which are used to prevent flooding such as blanks, cofferdams, and plugs. Pre-position material for flooding control shall not be included under the provisions of the tagout procedure. 045e. Flooding Protection During Overhaul General - A comprehensive and effective system of flooding detection, prevention, and control shall be maintained during the times the ship is waterborne. A copy of the flooding protection organization chart and instructions shall be submitted by the Contractor to the Supervisor prior to arrival of the ship at the overhaul site. The flooding organization chart and instructions shall be kept up-to-date and shall be resubmitted if changed. Revisions, as required, shall be submitted for approval prior to reaching the overhaul phase to which they are to be applied. The flooding instructions shall also contain requirements and restrictions applicable to inspection and casualty-control in security areas, and areas requiring radiological control. See Section 046 for control of work in testing support of flooding prevention in high risk evolutions. Surveillance of the ship and surrounding area for flooding hazards shall be maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by ship's force during the entire overhaul period. This surveillance may be combined with the fire protection surveillance. A centralized flooding protection group, reporting to shipyard management, shall be established. This group may be combined with the fire protection group. Group personnel shall be skilled in the control of flooding. The shipyard shall coordinate responsibilities with ship's force for reporting and responding to flooding. The central casualty-control station (normally the ship's DC Central) shall be used for both fire and flooding protection purposes. Facilities shall include the following, in addition to those specified in Section 045c: Locator diagrams for the ship flooding control equipment. Flooding protection tag log. Diagrams of the ship’s installed de-watering systems displaying system completion status and an up-to-date system line-up, including indication of valve position. Drawings and diagrams shall be maintained current and shall include all temporary accesses and cuts. Training drills shall be conducted periodically to determine the adequacy of the system and to observe personnel reactions. One flooding drill shall be conducted by the contractor prior to refloating and once every 3 months thereafter until completion of the overhaul. The Supervisor will conduct one drill between undocking and completion of the overhaul. The drill selected by the Supervisor will not be made known in advance; however, in order to maintain an orderly construction schedule, the Contractor shall provide the Supervisor with a

list of suitable times for the Supervisor’s drill. The Contractor shall correct any deficiencies discovered and take prompt remedial action to improve training or equipment, or both, prior to the next drill. Alarms - For those ships with installed flooding alarms, a flooding alarm system shall be maintained in all spaces normally protected by alarms. In compartments where ship's existing flooding alarms have been de-energized, temporary flooding alarms shall be installed. Where feasible use of ships installed alarms in lieu of temporary alarms shall prevail. A temporary power supply may be provided to ships installed alarms. Temporary alarms shall be set to trip when the water level in the compartment reaches a level of 2 feet, unless installed equipment will be threatened, in which case the alarms shall be set to trip before the water level can damage the equipment. If temporary alarms are installed and as the installed flooding alarm system becomes available, the spaces protected by the installed alarm will no longer require the temporary alarm. Alarm conditions shall cause audible and visual indication in the casualty-control station. The alarm system shall be provided with surveillance measures to indicate system malfunctions. Overhaul flooding protection - The ship’s main transverse watertight bulkheads shall be used as flooding boundaries during overhaul. These bulkheads shall be maintained watertight up to a level 4 feet above the maximum anticipated waterline, however temporary personnel access cuts provided with watertight doors may be made through bulkheads dividing machinery spaces above the upper platform level. Service lines shall not be run through these personnel accesses. Access cuts may be made through watertight boundaries for the purpose of shipping or unshipping machinery; these openings, however, shall be made watertight when not actually in use or, if the openings are in the shell, they may be provided with cofferdams as defined below. NAVSEA S0600-AA-PRO-160/CH 16, Underwater ship husbandry manual, Chapter 16, Cofferdams provides requirememnts for design, fabrication, and installation of temporary closures. For openings through the hull or through the portion of a main transverse watertight bulkhead which is used as flooding boundary , each opening below a waterline 4 feet above the maximum anticipated waterline shall be secured with a suitable closure. Temporary closures shall be installed where permanent closures cannot be reinstalled before undocking (e.g., sea valves). Closures shall be welded patches, blank flanges, two shut valves (or equivalent blanking), watertight doors, or other effective means. See Section 046 for control of work in testing support of flooding prevention in high risk evolutions. NAVSEA S0600-AA-PRO-160/CH 16, Underwater ship husbandry manual, Chapter 16, Cofferdams provides requirememnts for design, fabrication, and installation of temporary closures. Closures shall be controlled by a formal tag-out system. The flooding control tag-out procedure shall be approved by the Supervisor and shall implement the Equipment Tag-Out Bill Section of OPNAV 3120.32, which will be furnished by the Supervisor upon request. Tags shall require concurrence of central casualty-control before the following operations as a minimum: a. Sea valves - Before opening or performing any work on the valves. Sea valves shall be locked shut when not in use. b. Bulkhead cut-out valves and watertight doors - Before any disassembly or operation which would prevent rapid re-closure. c. Welded patches and blank flanges - Before opening or removing the closure. Valves through which flooding could occur if left open (for example, sea water vents, drains, or boundary valves to incomplete or open portions of the system) shall also be tagged. Tags for these valves shall require central casualty-control concurrence for any disassembly or operation. For openings which must remain unsealed for long periods of time (for example, bulkhead penetrations for propeller shafts, during shaft alignment), pre-cut patches or plugs, together with tools required for installation, shall be readily accessible near the opening at times when the closure is not installed. Central casualty control shall concur with the quantity, nature, and location of the materials and tools provided and shall control these items using the tag-out system. Tags shall be posted and logged in place before undocking. The tag-out log shall be maintained in the central casualty control station through out the duration of the waterborne period until end of overhaul. Temporary hull cuts or access openings in the hull that have less than 4 feet of freeboard above the maximum anticipated waterline shall be provided with cofferdams which are watertight to a level 4 feet above the maximum anticipated waterline, until closed. The Supervisor and the watch in the casualty-control station shall be notified prior to cutting such temporary hull cuts or access openings. For ships in overhaul where damage, deterioration, modification and/or repairs have substantially degraded watertight integrity or stability, a naval architectural review shall be performed to determine if additional flooding detection methods shall be invoked. One such flooding detection method is the use of draft warning tapes. Draft warning tapes shall be installed a maximum of 12 inches above the maximum anticipated waterline. Tapes are to be 12" x 48" highly visible marks installed forward and aft adjacent to the ship's draft marks. Marks are to be inspected once each shift. If the waterline approaches the marks, investigate the reason immediately. If a mark enters the water it is to be reported and treated as a flooding incident. During overhaul, priority shall be given to: Completing work which affects openings in boundaries. Completing piping runs through flooding boundaries to the first closure. Work required on the main drainage system as soon as practical after fire main pressure is available. Packing stuffing tubes promptly after cable is pulled through flooding boundaries. Repair of flooding alarms in machinery and electronics spaces. Precautions shall be taken prior to and after docking to ensure the watertightness of the hull.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 046 CONTROL OF WORK AND TESTING IN SUPPORT OF FLOODING PREVENTION AND HIGH RISK EVOLUTIONS 046a Scope Requirements specifically contained in this section are mandatory for on or off shipyard, CNO scheduled availabilities. This section does not apply to availabilities that are not scheduled by the CNO (e.g., Intermediate Maintenance Activity (IMA) Upkeep's, Technical Availabilities, Restricted Availabilities, etc.,). 046b Intent The intent of this section is to provide specific requirements for the control of work and testing which could affect flooding protection as defined in section 045e and specific high-risk evolutions. For the purposes of this section high risk evolutions are as follows: 1. Docking and Undocking 2. Off Hull Steam Introduction 3. Oxygen Charging/Discharging 4. Fueling/Defueling 5. Flooding the Drydock 046c Responsibilities The responsibility for the safety of ships is stated in U.S. Navy Regulations, OPNAV instructions, NAVSEA instructions, and applicable ship's force regulations. This section delineates responsibilities of the Commanding Officer/Officer-in-Charge of the ship (hereafter referred to as the CO) and the NAVSHIPYD/SUPSHIP (hereafter referred to as Supervisor) regarding ship safety during CNO scheduled availabilities. When contractor personnel in or out of a shipyard perform maintenance and repair work, controls are required to ensure the work is properly coordinated. When work is also being performed by other activities, such as ship's force and IMA's, coordination between participating activities is more complex. Accordingly, the necessary controls shall be included in a written Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) which defines functions, assignments and responsibilities of the various participating activities. The Supervisor shall be responsible to prepare and obtain the necessary concurrence to the MOA. This MOA(s) shall be between the ship, Supervisor and concurred in by other participating activities (e.g., squadron and IMA). As a minimum it should address the following functions and responsibilities: 1. Methods for authorizing, scheduling, and coordinating work and testing as specified in sections 046d1 and 046f. 2. Method for controlling tagouts as specified in section 046d2. 3. Requirements for testing as specified in section 046d3. 4. Requirements for controlling high risk evolutions as specified in section 046e. 5. Training or indoctrination, focused on administrative procedures applicable to work and testing controls, provided to ship's force and other participating activities by the contractor to aid in making the transition from an at-sea operational status to an industrial availability status. 6. Requirements for ship safety and support equipment and who will provide (i.e., blanks, cofferdams, temporary lighting, fire fighting equipment, and flooding control and pumping equipment). Such an agreement(s) may reference processes already in place and may vary in degree of detail depending on the complexity of work being undertaken. Agreements shall list responsible parties and alternates and should include a duration of applicability. Procedures invoked must be concurred with, and be familiar to all participating activities. Changes to the written agreement must be agreed to by the activities affected by the changes. Nothing in this agreement shall relieve the CO of his responsibilities under applicable regulations and instructions. 046d Flooding Prevention An effective system of flooding detection, prevention, and control shall be maintained during the times the ship is waterborne or under simulated waterborne conditions. The definition of, and the specifications for flooding protection are specified in section 045e. The following processes are essential for implementation of the section 045e specifications: 1. Work Authorization and Control. The work authorization process aids the party with primary responsibility for ship safety (the ship's CO), to fulfill that responsibility. The process must ensure the ship's force representative specified in the MOA approves all work that affects flooding protection and high risk evolutions. The document(s) for work authorization and completion shall be specified in the

MOA. The authorization document(s) for work and test which affect flooding prevention or high risk evolutions shall include the work/test scope definition, special conditions and authorization signatures. The work control document must also provide a means to record completion of planned work/test. A project coordinator, as assigned in the MOA, shall categorize scheduled work and testing which affects flooding prevention and high risk evolutions accomplished by all activities. A categorized work/test list shall be maintained current through the duration of the availability. 2. Tagout Process. Each contractor/ship shall have a formal tagout process which conforms to the requirements of section 045d and the Equipment Tag-Out Bill of OPNAV 3120.32. Danger tags shall also be installed for protection of personnel and equipment to comply with the double closure criteria required by section 045e when the ship is in a waterborne or simulated waterborne condition. When waterborne, tags need not be hung on blanks installed below the waterline external to the hull which are controlled by work authorizing documents. 3. Test Procedure. Written test procedures or equivalent documentation are required for all shipboard tests. These procedures shall specify, as appropriate, prerequisites, ship conditions, system status, precautions, and steps to be followed during conduct of the test. System status is defined as the specific lineup of system valves, circuit breakers, fuses, freeze seals, blank flanges, etc., in sufficient detail to ensure that scheduled testing can be safely accomplished. The Supervisor and ship's force will determine which organizations will prepare, coordinate, conduct and concur in written test procedures. 046e Prerequisite Lists For High Risk Evolutions: Prerequisite Lists for High Risk Evolutions shall be prepared by the activity with authorized responsibility for accomplishing the evolution. Prerequisite lists shall include steps to ensure the degree of ship safety and flooding prevention specified elsewhere in this section and in section 045e. Prerequisite lists may be derived from any official contractor or ship's force directive. Prerequisite lists shall be signed by all activities supporting the evolution as specified in the MOA. The activity signature indicates that the status of all work and systems under its cognizance will support the specified evolution. The evolutions that are considered high risk are defined in section 046b. It is recognized that not all of these evolutions will be executed in a particular CNO scheduled availability. 046f Double Valve Closure Non-Conformance For instances which preclude double valve closure protection as specified in section 045e, approval of the non-conformance by the CO or his designated representative is permitted, provided the following stipulations are complied with and recorded as special conditions on the work authorization document. 1. Single valve closure must be locked shut, mechanically disabled and red tagged. 2. Single valve remote operators must be disabled and red tagged. 3. Work/test steps shall be taken to minimize duration of condition. 4. Watchstanders shall be utilized during duration of the non-conformance condition to monitor single valve position and integrity. 5. Ship CO or designated representative authorized to approve double closure non-conformance's shall be assigned in the MOA. Approval signature shall be obtained for each non-conformance condition. 6. The above stipulations shall be verified complete for each non-conformance prior to authorizing work to proceed.

General This section contains the required standards for materials, workmanship, installation, inspections, and tests required by changes effected during overhauls. The term “overhaul” as in the GSO encompasses all repair, installation, overhaul, modifications, and modernization work normally performed during a specified ship availability period. Requirements of other sections of these GSO specifications, or of referenced industry or government specifications and drawings, that are in excess of the requirements of this section, shall have precedence over this section. Work to be accomplished for any overhaul will be specified in the individual Supervisors Work Specifications. Requirements of original shipbuilding specifications or their equivalent shall pertain for material selection, fabrication, method, and design of components and systems plant except where the Supervisor or NAVSEA (as applicable) has changed or waived requirements. The use of alternate specifications which are not equivalent specifications shall be subject to Supervisor, NAVSEA (or both) approval. The Contractor shall have written instructions provided by Supervisors Work Specifications for the control of testing and ship conditions. These instructions shall be approved by the Supervisor. These instructions shall formalize the requirements for the control of work and testing which could affect ship conditions and shall also provide formalized controls of especially hazardous evolutions during periods of conversion, overhaul and other availabilities in shipyards. Information delineating the design and technical requirements for specific work requirements for the overhaul is included in other sections of the GSO. Requirements herein apply to any Supervisor specification requirements pertaining to structure, fittings, equipment and installations. Existing structure, fittings and installations shall not be altered unless necessary to comply with the overhaul requirements. Existing fittings and equipment that are in good and acceptable condition, unless otherwise specified, may be reused to the maximum practicable extent subject to the approval of the Supervisor. It is the intent of the Government that the Contractor shall alter and complete the ship in every respect as required by the Supervisors Work Specification. This includes repairs, modification, installation, inspection, and testing of all systems involved, and removal of existing items made redundant. Preparation of new operating manuals and technical manuals for new installations, and revision to same for system modifications shall be accomplished as specified in the Contract. Sections 042, 085 and 086 contain additional information on this requirement. Authorization of alterations, changes, and arrangement variations shall be in accordance with OPNAV Instruction 4720.76. Any part of the ship, such as wiring, wireways, cable straps, fixtures, piping, hangers, foundations, insulation, duct work, or other items of the ship which the overhaul requirements make redundant, inoperative or unnecessary, shall be removed from the ship by the Contractor unless otherwise specified in the Contract or approved by the Supervisor. All areas damaged or exposed by such removals shall be repaired, closed in, and finished out by the Contractor in a neat and workmanlike manner matching the surrounding area in material, degree of tightness, and finish painting. Newly installed or repaired equipment shall be operated by the Ship's Force when such operation is required for test and check-out purposes. Such requirements will be coordinated by the Supervisor. The above described installations, removals, and modifications due to redundant installations shall be accomplished by the Contractor. The requirement to perform same shall be included in the Contract, but not necessarily identified individually throughout the Contract. "Interferences" is defined as any part of a ship, whether installed or portable, that must be moved or disturbed in the accomplishment of other work specified in the contract. Interferences shall be kept to the minimum required to accomplish authorized work and shall be identified in the Supervisor's Work Specifications. When authorized work items cannot be accomplished without the removal of interferences not previously identified in the work package and identified below, the Supervisor shall be notified by report from the contractor stating the necessity for the action, equipment protection which will be provided, and alignment and test procedures to be performed after re-installation. If approved, the additional interference removal will prompt a change in the Supervisor's Work Specification. Interferences requiring Supervisor approval prior to removal 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Passageways shall have minimum widths as defined in Sections 071 and 643. Shafting, couplings, gears, flexible shafts, and similar items shall have adequate guards installed for protection of personnel. Such protective guards shall be removable without dismantling the machinery surrounded. Guards shall be constructed of sheet or expanded metal as light as is consistent with required protection. Guards fitted on parts requiring frequent attention shall have doors, covers, or other ready means for access, secured by wing nuts or other simple fastenings. False floors, for covering wiring in locations exposed to traffic, shall be of light construction fitted in portable sections for inspection and access purpose and shall be stiffened for support of personnel and local loading. Protective guards shall also be installed as barriers to prevent personnel from inadvertently contacting energized and exposed electrical circuits, components, and terminals which present shock and high voltage hazards. Electrical and electronic equipment and workbenches shall be grounded in accordance with the requirements of MIL-STD-1310. Safeguards against RF radiation hazards and RF burn hazards, including the posting of warning signs at dangerous radiation areas, shall be provided in accordance with Section 400. Warning signs - Warning signs, advising personnel of electrical, electronic, or radio frequency (RF) voltage hazards or dangers, shall be posted within the entrance area of compartments and walk-in enclosures wherein such hazards are commonly present: for example, the radio transmitter room, motor generator rooms, and power distribution centers. Warning signs shall be conspicuously located at eye level or above, in full and clear view of entering personnel. Signs shall also be posted at locations on or near equipment that are particularly dangerous or exposed. The following warning signs shall be used as indicated, for A.C. or D.C. voltage. DANGER SHOCK HAZARD (In accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. RE-2699757, where voltages are between 30 volts and 500 volts). DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE (In accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. RE-2680621, where voltages are in excess of 500 volts. Where voltages both below and above 500 volts are present in a space, only the DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE warning sign shall be used. Such signs may be procured as laminated placards from the Naval Publications and Forms Center, Philadelphia, PA 19120). Protection of equipment - Equipment shall be protected against the hazard of personnel brushing against or being thrown against the equipment, particularly under heavy sea conditions, and inadvertently causing damage to exposed components or resulting in maladjustment of exposed functional controls such as push buttons, knobs, and switches. Equipment and electric cables shall also be protected against similar hazards from accidental movement or shifting of equipment and material in exposed locations such as storage spaces. Protection shall be provided by equipment arrangement or installation techniques designed to afford such protection or by installation of enclosures, screens, or guard rails. Such enclosures, screens, or guard rails shall be designed to withstand a static load of 500 pounds and of being used safely as handholds if so configured. The protective method utilized shall not inhibit access to the equipment as required for normal operational and maintenance procedures. Equipment, piping, ventilation ducting, and electrical cables exposed to willful damage within the brig shall be encased by 5.1-pound steel plate. Installation in vicinity of magnetic compass - Except for material shown on the arrangement drawings, all material in the vicinity of a magnetic compass shall be either nonmagnetic or sufficiently separated from the compass to preclude any uncorrectable permanent or transient deviations. All necessary magnetic materials shall be located symmetrically with respect to the compass. For installation purposes, materials having a normal magnetic permeability of 2.0 or less (after fabrication) shall be considered as nonmagnetic. In general, a permeability of less than 1.02 is required before fabrication. The compass shall be placed as far as practicable from large masses of magnetic material (such as gun mounts and stacks) and from the extremities of elongated masses of magnetic materials. Because of stray magnetic fields which will result from operation of electronic equipment, components of the electrical and electronics installations shall be installed as far from the standard and steering magnetic compasses as practicable. If passage of electric current through equipment so located results in a deviation of the magnetic compass for which there can be no correction, the stray field shall be compensated by shielding or by incorporating a current loop in the circuit of the electric component. The number of ampere turns and the arrangement of any current loop about the equipment shall be established so that the magnetic compass will function satisfactorily. Cables shall be installed at a maximum distance from the magnetic compass to prevent magnetic fields from creating a compass deviation for which there can be no correction. Table I shall be used as a guide in locating magnetic material, and electric and electronic equipment at a distance sufficient to prevent a compass deviation in excess of 1/4 degree.

The initial preventive maintenance plan shall include the Contractor's planned approach to and organization for the total preventive maintenance program, a listing of HM&E equipment (both Contractor and Government-furnished) that the program will be applicable to and the specific preventive maintenance requirements for HM&E equipment identified up to that date. Subsequent addendums to include the specific requirements for additional HM&E equipment shall be prepared until all the HM&E equipment listed in the approved initial plan is included in the final approved plan. The Contractor shall perform all preventive maintenance in accordance with the approved plan. The Contractor shall record all preventive maintenance actions as required by the respective contract. 070l. Fire Zone Boundaries General - A fire zone boundary is a physical boundary designed to retard the passage of flame and smoke. Fire zones apply primarily to transverse bulkheads. Exceptions are longitudinal bulkheads in tanks and wells as on landing type ships. Surface ships with an overall length greater than 220 feet shall be divided into main vertical fire zones by utilizing the main subdivision bulkheads and portions of decks where the subdivision is stepped. Fire zone bulkheads shall be continued from main subdivision bulkheads through the superstructure, stepped as necessary. The distance between fire zone bulkheads shall not exceed 131 feet. Fire zone boundaries, designated by the symbol FZ, shall be in locations shown on the arrangement drawings. Where the symbol FZ is used with a tightness designation such as WT, both requirements shall be satisfied. Where a boundary is designated FZ only, the requirements for fumetightness apply. The tightness of a fire zone boundary shall never be less than "fumetightness". See Section 192. Material and construction - Fire zone boundaries of steel hull ships shall be constructed of steel, suitably stiffened, and made intact with principal structure of the ship, such as structural bulkheads, decks, shell, and deckhouse. Ships with aluminum superstructures shall have aluminum fire zone boundaries in the superstructure. Fittings in fire zone boundaries, except gaskets for watertight and oiltight closures, shall be of noncombustible material. 070m. Principal Watertight Features The main transverse watertight bulkheads (and in some ships the longitudinal watertight bulkheads), the shell, and the bulkhead deck shall constitute the watertight envelope and subdivision which enable the ship to maintain watertight integrity and survive extensive underwater damage. The bulkhead deck is defined as the uppermost deck, or decks, to which bulkheads are carried watertight. Main watertight bulkheads and watertight decks shall be located as specified. Other bulkheads and decks shall be watertight as follows: Boundaries of vital spaces, where required. Boundaries of tanks (watertight or oiltight) Damage control deck, unless otherwise specified. First deck or platform above the keel, to limit the flooding in case of stranding (the inner bottom satisfies this requirement). Portions of decks which connect steps in main subdivision bulkheads. Trunks and other decks as specified. Requirements pertaining to watertightness, including penetration of watertight boundaries, are specified in other sections of the specifications, such as: Access closure tightness (See Section 071)

Section 070

Hydrostatic design heads for watertight bulkheads and watertight decks (See Sections 120 and 130, respectively). Location of deck drain valves (See Section 528). Piping system penetration integrity (See Section 505). Stuffing tubes for cable and extent of cable and sealing (See Section 304). Vital space tightness (See Section 070). Watertight closure requirements and vertical extent to which ventilation ducts shall be carried watertight (See Section 512). In order to reduce the number of closures in ventilation ducts which penetrate main watertight bulkheads or the bulkhead deck, flooding water levels have been developed and are defined as follows: Flooding Water Level I (FWL-I) - The highest level that can be expected on any particular intact main transverse watertight bulkhead when that bulkhead serves as a confining boundary to flooding which the ship is expected to be capable of surviving. Flooding Water Level II (FWL-II) - The highest water level that can be expected above the bulkhead deck at any particular intact watertight subdivision after any flooding elsewhere in the ship which the ship is expected to be capable of surviving. Flooding water levels (V-lines) on main watertight bulkheads and over the bulkhead deck shall be as specified. These flooding water levels usually do not coincide with the height to which bulkheads are specified to be watertight. Certain watertightness requirements for ventilation systems, drainage systems, and cable end-sealings are governed by FWL-I and FWL-II. In order to reduce the number of closures in ventilation ducts, and at the same time protect the ship against the flooding of otherwise undamaged compartments, preference shall be given to locating ventilation ducts, rather than other systems such as piping and wiring above FWL-I. Watertight integrity of boundaries shall be maintained both above and below flooding water levels; however, except for fire zone bulkheads, ventilation closures are not required above the flooding water level. 070n. Emergency and Damage Control Systems Emergency and damage control systems are those systems which provide the ship with the ability to maintain its assigned mission during any emergency or battle damage condition. These systems include all equipment, materials, devices, and techniques that can be used to prevent and minimize damage as well as to restore the ship from the effects of damage. Emergency and damage control functions include the following, to the extent specified for the individual ship as defined in OPNAV 3501.2 or class of ships in the respective sections herein: Preservation of stability and watertight integrity by compartmentation and access closures, flooding restrictions, ballasting, and drainage. Continuation of services such as electrical power and communications (normal and casualty), propulsion, lighting, alarms, ventilation, chilled water, fuel (such as gasoline, JP-5), and compressed air. Prevention of personnel casualties. Maintenance of the following: Fire power including the facilities for supporting the operation of aircraft. Ability to effectively segregate systems. Mobility and maneuverability of the ship. Firefighting ability, including prevention, detection and warning, isolation, extinguishment, and minimization of the effects of fires by sprinkling, CO(2), HALON 1301, Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF), and dry chemical installations. Detection confinement, and removal of the effects of nuclear, biological, and chemical attack by means of personnel protective equipment, detectors, indicators, ventilation filters and compartmentation, and other related equipment. 070o.

Standardization and Non-Conformances It is Navy policy to make every effort to achieve and maintain standardization throughout the life cycle of its ships. There are three discrete types of standardization which should be pursued: intra-Navy, intra-class, and intra-ship. Intra-Navy standardization is achieved by selecting and acquiring equipment or components for new ships or requirements which are already in the Navy inventory and fully supported. The NAVSEA Standard Components List (SCL) provides a list of hull, mechanical, and electrical equipment which are installed on at least one active ship, are available for procurement, and are supported by spare parts available from the original equipment manufacturer. This list should be used in the design selection process for assistance in identifying standard equipment. The SCL lists equipment by APL number, referenced from either a specification or equipment nomenclature, and includes extensive information on equipment technical characteristics and applications in existing ship installations. Intra-class standardization is achieved by installing identical equipment and components on all ships of the class. Intra-class standardization is essential to achieving adequate logistics support and to minimize future engineering costs. While the need for intra-class standardization is widely recognized, it is not normally considered justification for a sole source contract. The acquisition of each component or equipment must be strategized individually to achieve standardization. Since there are many personnel involved and the acquisitions may take place over a long period of time (it can take up to nine years from alteration inception to installation of that alteration on the last ship of the class), finding the appropriate strategy for each component/equipment is very difficult. The difficulty is exacerbated by budget limitations and constraints, data base limitations, changing technology and the need for free and open competition. Acquisition strategies to promote intra-class standardization include the following: 1. Procuring for all ships of the class with a single contract. 2. Use of a multi-year contract to acquire out-year ship requirements. 3. Use of contract options to acquire out-year ship requirements. 4. Procuring standard Mark and Mod equipment to a government owned design. 5. Procuring standard Make and Model commercial equipment on a sole source basis. 6. Utilizing FAR l4.201-8 price related factors. This allows selection on the basis of the lowest aggregate cost to the government in lieu of the lowest offered price. This method will tend to favor items which are already supported. It is particularly applicable when procurement must be made for a single ship of a multi-ship class such as in the case of a maintenance replacement. Intra-ship standardization is achieved by minimizing the number of different equipment and components of each ship. Effort should be expended during the design and equipment selection processes to minimize the number of different equipment and components of essentially the same size or capacity for installation on the ship. In addition to requirements for equipment standardization in new design and equipment changes or replacements, consideration should be given to eliminating unsupported equipment when economically feasible. The NAVSEA Unsupportable Equipment List lists all equipment installed in the fleet which are no longer supported with spare parts by the original equipment manufacturer. This list should be used to identify such equipment for consideration for replacement. Non-Conformances – All non-conformances shall be dispositioned in accordance with NAVSEAINST 5400.95 (series). This instruction applies to all non-nuclear non-conformances, including non-reactor plant propulsion plant systems as defined by NAVSEAINST C9210.4.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 071 ACCESS

071a. Scope This section contains the general requirements for access and applies only to those compartments, spaces and areas that are created new or modified as a result of physical, functional or related system changes. For limitations on locations and spacing of access openings, see Section 100. 071b. General All compartments, usable spaces, and voids within the ship shall be provided with doors, hatches, scuttles, manholes, arches, and removable plates, as appropriate, to afford the most convenient practicable access. Access closures shall meet the requirements specified in Section 624. Where traffic is heavy or in way of escape routes, access closures shall be of the "quick-acting" type. Access shall be provided in foundations to permit preservation of the foundation and of the deck or other structure beneath. Foundations where access is impractical shall be treated as inaccessible voids in accordance with Section 631. Swash bulkheads, breasthooks, and other nontight structure within tanks or voids shall have swash holes and openings, as necessary, to afford access to all parts of the spaces. Access shall be provided to masts, antennas, antenna towers and lights. Headroom in walking and working areas shall permit normal operations required in the space without undue interference caused by striking objects overhead. Lighting fixtures, ventilation ducts, piping and wiring shall be installed as close to the overhead as practicable. A clear headroom of 6 feet 5 inches is desired in all areas, but in no case shall clear headroom be less than 6 feet 3 inches. Whenever possible, machinery, piping, operating rods, brackets, trolley tracks, and other items that restrict passage or are a source of danger to personnel, shall be kept clear of normal routes of access. Where such installations cannot be avoided, guards or protective padding shall be provided. Passageways that are intended for use by pallet transporters shall normally be at least 6 feet wide. In no instance shall the clear width of these passageways be less than 5 feet. This minimum width is permissible upon approval of the Supervisor only at structural elements or in way of essential bulkhead mounted equipments that cannot be functionally located elsewhere. Unless otherwise approved by the Supervisor, passageways for heavy personnel traffic shall be maintained not less than 36 inches clear. Wherever practicable, hatches shall be aligned vertically, to conserve space and to facilitate handling materials into and out of the ship. This requirement applies particularly to striking-down hatches, and to hatches for personnel traffic. Additional doors, hatches, scuttles, and manholes shall be provided, as required, in the development of access and damage control arrangements, or to meet special requirements. Where provided, two lines of access, well separated port and starboard, shall be maintained on the damage control deck. Where only one line of access is provided, it shall be maintained as near the centerline as practicable. 071c. Requirement for New or Modified Spaces Each manned vital space intended to be manned by 10 or more men and all other spaces intended to contain 21 or more men or seats shall have two means of egress as widely separated within the space as arrangements permit. Within the watertight envelope of the ship, the two means of egress shall, without compromising watertight integrity, open into spaces separated by watertight construction. For vital spaces which do not have direct access at a location above the V-lines, as defined in Section 070, normal access shall be by means of a watertight trunk to a location above the V-lines. However, if

Section 071

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

this would extend the trunk above the weather deck, the trunk shall be terminated at the highest practicable level within the ship. Unless otherwise specified, trunks which extend above the damage control deck, shall be provided with access doors on the damage control deck. The closure between the trunk and the space it serves shall be a watertight hatch or door, as appropriate. Spaces which are below the watertightness level and which are manned at general quarters shall be provided with access in the overhead. Any space manned during normal operations with access to a hangar shall have a separate means of egress to allow escape other than into the hangar. Any space manned during normal operations with access to a gallery deck walkway shall have a separate means of egress to allow escape into the ship without going onto the gallery deck walkway or into the hangar. In ballistically protected control spaces in the superstructure where normal access is through one or two doors which could easily be blocked or jammed by an explosion, an additional means of escape shall be provided. This escape may be through either the deck or the overhead, whichever is the better arrangement, but preferably through the thinner plating. Quick-acting spring-balanced hatches, hatches fitted with escape scuttles, or escape scuttles in decks, as appropriate, shall be installed to ensure ready access to and from quarters, manned vital spaces and other spaces where general access or means of escape are essential at all times. Where a secondary means of egress is required but cannot be otherwise provided, an emergency escape panel in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 804-4563128, shall be installed in non-tight bulkheads. Emergency escape panels shall not be obstructed by furniture, fixtures, or other items. Scuttles installed for normal access shall be operable from both sides. Scuttles shall be provided with locks or locking devices on the non-secure side where the space served is restricted or requires positive security (see Section 604). Scuttles installed for secondary means of escape shall be operable from both sides and no locks shall be provided. However, where the space served is restricted or requires positive security, it shall be provided with a mechanical securing device with a quick release feature on the secure side only. Escape scuttles in bulkheads shall open out of the compartment being exited unless the scuttle would open into a passage, in which case the scuttle shall open into the compartment. Access requirements for manned vital spaces shall be of the following types: Compartments above V-lines Quick-acting doors Quick-acting spring-balanced hatch, hatch with escape scuttle in overhead, or escape scuttle in overhead. Compartments entirely or partially below V-lines. Quick-acting doors for compartments on damage control deck and above. Hatch with quick-acting scuttle (or quick-acting spring-balanced hatch) in overhead if access terminates on damage control deck above V-lines. Watertight trunk to damage control deck with hatch with quick-acting scuttle (or quick-acting spring-balanced hatch) at upper end if access terminates above V-lines. Watertight trunk with quick-acting door at damage control deck (except where prohibited for ballistic reasons) and hatch with quick-acting scuttle (or quick-acting spring-balanced hatch) in deck above damage control deck if watertight trunk intersects damage control deck below V-lines. The bottom of trunks to vital spaces shall be fitted with quick-acting spring-balanced watertight hatches (or watertight hatches with quick-acting scuttles). Unless otherwise specified, if the trunk extends into a vital space, it shall be fitted with a quick-acting watertight door: Where space permits, the door shall open into the trunk. Access trunks serving several vital spaces shall be combined into a single trunk, unless a combined trunk is prohibited elsewhere. Unmanned vital spaces (such as fan rooms) do not require trunked access. See paragraph 071d for special gasoline and aviation fuel pump room requirements. See paragraph 071e for machinery space escape trunk requirements. Without exceeding the size limitations, hatches and doors affording access to machinery spaces, electronic spaces, switchboard rooms, and shops shall be large enough to permit the removal of shop equipment, electronic equipment, switchboard units, and machinery items that are difficult or impractical to disassemble. Where the size of items or components to be shipped or unshipped exceeds acceptable door or hatch sizes, certain areas shall be arranged to be clear of piping, wireways, ducts and other obstructions such that structure can be readily removed and components shipped or unshipped.

Where vane axial fans are located in spaces which are not suitable for their disassembly and replacement of bearings, the access door to the space shall be large enough to pass such fans. Otherwise, a bolted access plate of sufficient size shall be provided. Bolted plates shall be avoided in strength bulkheads and watertight bulkheads. Manholes shall be provided for access to all compartments, tanks, cofferdams, voids, and pockets not provided with other means of access. Manholes of 15-inch by 23-inch clear opening shall be provided throughout the ship except where structural or space conditions require reduction of this basic size to a minimum of 15-inch by 18-inch clear opening. Double bottom access openings shall be 15-inch by 23-inch clear opening in longitudinal members and 18-inch diameter clear opening in transverse floors except where structural or space conditions require reduction of these basic sizes. Except as otherwise specified herein, for any tank, double bottom compartment, or void (exclusive of cofferdams), two manholes shall be provided. In any tank or void, in which it is impractical to fit two manholes, one manhole and one opening fitted with a cover, for a ventilation hose shall be provided. In either arrangement, the openings shall be located at the diagonal extremities of the space. Cofferdams, in general, shall be fitted with a manhole at one end and a ventilation hose opening with cover at the opposite end. For very small tanks or cofferdams, only the access manhole shall be fitted, and the ventilation hose opening shall be omitted. Any tank or void, requiring access through a ballistic deck shall be provided with one manhole and one ventilation hose opening with cover, except that when such a space is very small it shall have the manhole only. All manholes and ventilation openings in tanks and voids shall be in the uppermost level of the tank or void. At least one manhole in each tank or void shall be at the highest practicable point in the uppermost level of the tank or void. Manholes shall not be installed in decks in way of vehicular and hand truck traffic routes. Flush type manholes shall not be installed in decks where latex mastic or terrazzo deck coverings are used. 071d. Watertight Integrity and Structural Limitations In providing means for new permanent access throughout the ship, watertight integrity, ballistic protection, and strength shall be maintained. In ballistic decks, the number and size of openings for access and for other purposes shall be held to a minimum. Manholes shall not be installed in underwater side protective system bulkheads. Main subdivision bulkheads shall not be penetrated for access below the damage control deck. Watertight access trunks to magazines and handling rooms, control rooms, steering gear rooms, and pump rooms shall not be penetrated between the damage control deck and the ballistic deck. Access trunks to gasoline and aviation fuel pump rooms shall have two watertight closures, one at the top of the trunk and one at the pump room. The sides of the trunk shall not be penetrated for access to any other space. Where the gasoline or aviation fuel pump room is located directly below, on, or above the damage control deck, a watertight trunk shall be installed extending from the deck over the pump room to the next deck above. Where the gasoline or aviation fuel pump room is located more than one deck below the damage control deck, a watertight trunk shall be installed extending to the damage control deck. Where the gasoline or aviation fuel pump room is located on or immediately below the weather deck, the access shall be from the weather deck and shall be watertight. Access openings shall be located so as to avoid interferences with girders, longitudinals, transverse web frames, and major bulkhead stiffeners. Openings in the strength deck stringer plating for access or other purposes shall be avoided throughout the amidship 3/5-length of the ship. Temporary openings for purposes of construction or testing shall not be cut in strength decks or bulkheads without the approval of the Supervisor. Provision shall be made for fire and flooding protection in accordance with Section 045. Such openings shall be permanently closed, and the full strength of the original structure shall be restored. 071e. Machinery Space Requirements Each main and large auxiliary machinery room shall have at least one normal access and one escape route.

Normal access to machinery spaces shall be obtained through a watertight trunk extending from the damage control deck to the deck over the machinery space. Rungs shall be provided as an emergency means for reaching the normal access opening for use in case of casualty to the ladder. An additional access route for emergency escape shall be provided via a trunk, leading from the floor plates at the lowest operating level of the space to an exit point on or above the damage control deck. The trunk shall be of steel fumetight construction within the machinery space, and of watertight construction above it. The lower end of the trunk shall be fitted with a balanced type joiner door in accordance with Section 624, opening into the trunk. The upper end of the trunk shall be fitted with a quick-acting spring-balanced hatch. Trunks shall be thermally insulated in accordance with Section 635. When a normal access trunk or escape trunk, as described above, pierces a ballistic deck between the damage control deck and the machinery space, the sides of the trunk shall not be penetrated between the damage control deck and the ballistic deck. Side penetrations in other portions of the trunk shall not be made without the Supervisor's approval. Each switchboard room and enclosed operating station shall be provided with an escape scuttle in addition to the normal access. For escape trunk ladders and insulation requirements see Sections 622 and 635, respectively 071f. Additional Requirements - Aircraft Carriers Open longitudinal gallery walkways shall be maintained port and starboard, below and outboard of the flight deck. Walkways shall be approximately midway between the flight and gallery decks. Access shall be maintained from the walkways to the gallery deck, flight deck, airplane crane machinery, masts, and ramp lights, and for passage across the ship under the flight deck. On the gallery deck, direct longitudinal passages, port and starboard, shall be maintained. Not less than four enclosed access routes, well distributed fore and aft, shall be maintained between the hangar and gallery decks so that, in the event of a fire on any portion of the hangar deck, personnel below this deck will be provided with a means of escape through the fire area. These routes shall be fitted with airtight doors to prevent "chimney" effect in the event of fire below decks. One of these routes shall provide a direct means of access from the second deck to the island and the flight deck in way of the island. A walkway shall be maintained on the outboard side of the island structure at the flight deck level, to provide an emergency access route to the island in the event that access from the inboard side is cut off by fire or other casualty. Doors and scuttles shall be maintained, opening on this walkway, to provide access to companion ladders within the island. If weapon assembly areas are provided forward and aft on the damage control deck, the passages connecting these areas shall be of sufficient width to permit ready emergency bomb handling from one area to the other as required by the arrangement drawings. 071g.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 072 SHOCK 072a. Scope This section contains the requirements for the application of shock hardening criteria to the overhaul, modernization, conversion, and repair of naval surface ships. 072b. Definitions and Grade Designations Grade A - Machinery, equipment, and systems essential for the safety and continued combat capability of the ship. Design shall be suitable to withstand shock loadings without significant effect on performance and without any portion of the equipment coming adrift or otherwise creating a hazard to personnel or to grade A machinery, equipment, or systems. Grade B - Machinery, equipment, and systems not required for the safety or continued combat capability of the ship. Design shall be suitable to withstand shock loading without the equipment or any external portion of the equipment coming adrift or otherwise creating a hazard to personnel or to grade A machinery, equipment, or systems. Grade C - Equipment and systems which have no shock requirements, except that they must be arranged or located so as not to become a hazard. Hazard - An item constitutes a hazard if, as a result of shock, the item or a portion of it could endanger grade A equipment or personnel at battle stations. In determining this possibility, the assumption shall be made that the item or portion thereof could be projected upwards or sidewards as much as five feet before striking or rebounding into a target. Consideration shall also be given to the relative weight of the item and the presence of any intervening structure. System - A system is an arrangement or combination of principal units and items necessary to perform a specific operational function or functions (such as the piping systems, refrigeration systems and electronic systems). Additional definitions relating to shock requirements are contained in Mil. Spec. MIL-S-901. Grade designations - To determine the appropriate shock grades, the following capabilities shall remain unchanged during and after an attack by non-contact underwater explosion: Design speeds in all modes of propulsion and at all operating conditions Aircraft arming, refueling and controlling Countermeasures and expendable ordnance/weapons Emergency and damage control systems (see Section 070) Interior communication and data processing systems necessary to support the capabilities of this list Maneuvering Navigation Radar Radio Replenishment-at-sea (stowed condition) Sonar Visual reconnaissance Weapon control Weapon stowage, reloading, and firing or launching Any ancillary system required to support the above capabilities shall be grade A if the ancillary system is necessary for 100 hours consecutive operation of the above capabilities following exposure to shock. The 100 hours mentioned for grade A equipment is to give guidance for choosing the shock grade for ancillary equipment and does not relate to the grade A equipment itself, which is expected to operate indefinitely without reduction in performance. Principal units, items, or systems not essential for the above capabilities shall be designated grade C if arranged or located so as not to become a hazard during or after the attack, but designated grade B if not so arranged or located. Overhaul equipment installation drawings submitted for approval shall indicate the grade of shock resistance. A list of any items not appearing on such drawings shall be submitted to the supervisor within 9 months of the date of the contract and shall show the grade of shock resistance of the items. Significant changes shall be reported as they occur. The required grade of shock resistance shall be as specified herein. Omission of such indication does not relieve the contractor of the responsibility for determination of shock grades consistent with the capabilities indicated herein.

072c. Requirements for Non-shock Hardened Ships Items intended for installation aboard operational non-shock hardened ships undergoing overhaul, modernization, or conversion shall possess shock resistance characteristics equal to those originally specified in the detail building specifications for the ship in question. Therefore, the criteria for shock specified in the following paragraphs herein apply only to ships built to shock hardening criteria unless the specific intent of a SHIPALT, conversion or modernization is to include upgrade of a non-shock hardened ship to a shock-hardened status. 072d. Requirements for Shock Hardened Ships Unless otherwise directed by the Supervisor, the following basic shock hardening criteria apply to overhaul, modernization or conversion of shock hardened ships: (1) New shipboard systems, equipment, and foundations furnished for overhaul, modernization or conversion shall meet shock testing requirements and foundation shock design requirements specified herein. (2) Where a system or structure is designated herein as requiring a grade of shock (i.e., grade - A, B), and the grade of shock specified conflicts with an individual ships detailed specifications, the ships detailed specification shall take precedence. (3) The shock resistance of new shipboard installations shall not be purposely reduced to equal that of existing ship systems. (4) Existing shipboard systems of shock hardened ships need not be upgraded to match higher shock resistance of later designs of shock hardened equipment or systems installed by SHIPALT, modernization, or conversion programs unless the upgrading of existing equipments or systems is a specific objective of the SHIPALT, modernization, or conversion. Items designated as grade A or B, whose size and weight permit shock testing in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-901 shall be shock qualified by meeting the requirements contained therein. Items requiring heavy weight shock testing in accordance with MIL-S-901 due to size or weight limitations shall be proven acceptable by shock testing aboard the Large Floating Shock Platform, Floating Shock Platform or Submarine Shock Test Vehicle, test facility schedules and other factors permitting. Test levels shall correspond to those of Mil. Spec. MIL-S-901. Items which cannot be shock tested, and foundations for equipment which are required for performance of the ship functions specified, which cannot be included due to weight or size, shall be designed to withstand shock loadings. These loadings shall be established on the basis of dynamic analysis procedures outlined in publications NAVSEA 0908-LP-000-3010, "Shock Design Criteria For Surface Ships" and Design Data Sheet DDS 072-1, "Shock Design Values" (CONFIDENTIAL). In general, items to be resiliently mounted shall be shock-tested while installed on the same type of resilient mountings, including buffers (snubbers), that will be used for shipboard installations. If an item is to be mounted both directly to foundation structures or on resilient mountings onboard ship, or both, the item may be tested for direct mounting (upon concurrence from NAVSEA) without additional testing for resilient mounting. Mountings used in shock testing shall not be used aboard ship. Government-furnished equipment shall not be subjected to shock testing after delivery to the contractor. Unless otherwise specified, when contractor-furnished consoles, racks, and enclosures containing Government-furnished equipment are shock tested, the Government-furnished equipment shall be simulated by equivalent dummy loads. Where Government or other applicable equipment specifications require shock proofing for other than non-contact underwater explosions, the requirements of such other specifications shall also apply. Valves and valve operators in shock Grade A or B piping systems shall be tested and inspected for qualification in accordance with MIL-STD-798, Section 11. Sea water system hull valves which have been subjected to shock tests shall not be installed in the ship as hull valves, but may, after proper examination and testing, be used as line valves when found to satisfy the requirements of MIL-STD-798, Section 11. Castings which have been subjected to actual shock testing shall not be installed in the ship between the sea and the associated hull valves. Following shock tests, valves shall be disassembled and inspected for evidence of mechanical binding, or distortion of components, and shall be inspected for soundness before and after shock testing, through the use of magnetic particle or dye penetrant tests complying with MIL-STD-271. Items which are qualified for a higher grade of shock resistance may be used where a lower grade is specified. Equipment shall not be attached to both of two structures which can deflect relative to each other under shock loadings. Buffers employed to limit deflection under shock loading are subject to the same requirements as foundations. Unless otherwise specified herein or in Government specifications, government-furnished equipment will be suitable for mounting directly to foundation structures.

Unless specified otherwise in these specifications, bolts for shock grade A and B equipment shall be installed in holes no greater than the following sizes: Nominal bolt diameter (inches) 3/4 and smaller Larger than 3/4

Maximum diameter of hole (inches) Nominal bolt dia. plus 1/32 inch Nominal bolt dia. plus 1/16 inch

For mounting hole size of DIM mounted equipment see Section 073. Where grade A or B machinery or equipment is removed for overhaul or repair, replacement hardware for reinstallation of equipment (bolts, fittings, hangers, etc.) shall be in accordance with original installation drawings so that original shock resistance shall be preserved. The following shock requirement paragraphs of this section are cross-referenced to its associated technical requirements by the applicable specifications section number. For example, paragraph 072-180 herein contains the shock requirements for associated technical requirements contained in Section 180. 072e. Hull Structure Shock Requirements 072-100. Hull Structure Hull structure designed for normal ship dynamic loads is generally adequate for shock loading. For shock design purposes, foundations shall generally be considered to end at the point where normal ship structure begins. Care shall be taken to avoid any sudden structural discontinuity between foundations and ship structure. Pads, chocks, brackets, or local stiffening of ship structure shall be used to provide structural continuity where necessary. For non alignment-sensitive installations, local headers, pads, chocks, or brackets added to stiffen plating or framing in way of equipment, or to provide attachment points for foundations, need not be designed to withstand shock loadings. For alignment-sensitive installations, all structure expressly added for support of the equipment (including additional headers, pads, and normal ship structural members whose size has been locally increased specifically to suit the installation) shall be designed to withstand foundation reactions under shock loadings. Insofar as practical and compatible with other requirements, supporting ship structure for alignment-sensitive installations shall be balanced from the standpoint of resistance to deflection in the vertical direction to minimize tilting (angular misalignment) due to vertical shock. Stanchions provided primarily to support heavy equipment shall be treated as an extension of the foundation and designed to withstand shock loadings. Machinery space upper levels which are provided solely as a support for auxiliary machinery shall be considered as foundations grounded on frames or inner bottom and shall be designed to withstand shock loadings. 072-164. Ballistic plating Parasitic protective plates and their connections to ship structure shall meet grade A shock requirements. 072-170. Masts and spars Foundations and support structure for essential equipment mounted on masts and spars shall meet grade A shock requirements. 072-180. Foundations Strength and rigidity of foundations shall be suitable to withstand shock loads (where required) and to distribute them into the structure of the hull. All foundations which support grade A or B equipment shall be assigned the same shock grade as the supported equipment. If practicable, foundation structure for grade A and grade B equipment shall be shock tested with the equipment it supports. If this is impracticable, the foundation shall be designed to the dynamic shock analysis procedure indicated in Section 072d. In general, possible shock damage shall be minimized. If misalignment would not interfere with operation of equipment, permanent deformation of the foundation is preferable to damage to the equipment or the hull. In any case, deformation should take the form of buckling or bending of local structure, rather than permitting the equipment to tear loose from its attachment. Foundation structure shall be proportioned to give a reasonable and uniform stress distribution, permitting maximum absorption of energy through elastic deformation. Re-entrant corners and other causes of stress concentrations shall be avoided. Brittle materials, such as cast iron, shall not be used. Under vertical shock forces, belts shall be stressed in tension rather than shear, insofar as practicable. For permissible bolt hole clearances, see Section 072d. 072f. Propulsion Plant Shock Requirements 072-200. Propulsion plant Unless otherwise specified, all systems and components of the propulsion plant, including propeller and shafting systems as well as all other independent auxiliaries necessary for the safety and continued combat capability of the ship shall meet grade A shock requirements.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 073 NOISE, VIBRATION, AND RESILIENT MOUNTING 073a. Scope This section contains general requirements relative to noise and vibration for new, modified, or overhauled machinery, equipment and components. It also contains general requirements for the conduct of acoustical surveys and for resilient and hard mounting of shipboard equipment. 073b. Vibration and Acoustic Surveys Acoustic surveys shall be conducted if required by the Contract. The surveys, as defined below, shall be conducted by the overhauling activity or Contractor in accordance with the following general procedures unless superseded by specific test procedures invoked in the Contract. 1. Airborne noise survey 2. Machinery vibration survey 3. Mast vibration survey 4. Isolation system survey 5. Sonar self-noise survey 6. NAVSEA acoustical trials 073b.1. Airborne Noise Survey The effects of airborne noise on personnel range from annoyance in living quarters or speech interference at operating stations to temporary or permanent hearing damage in machinery spaces. Permissible noise levels have been established according to the normal function of the compartment. To make airborne noise criteria and noise measurements correlate with the effects of noise on personnel, a frequency weighting scale was established which approximately matches the frequency sensitivity of the human ear. Noise levels weighted in this manner are referred to as "A" weighted levels. Airborne noise levels shall meet the "A" weighted values specified in Table I. When airborne noise exceeds Table I levels, octave band measurements shall be taken in accordance with NAVSEA S9AA0-AA-SPN-010/Gen. Spec. (NSN 0910-LP-007-4100) for diagnostic purposes and reported. Ship compartment noise categories are specifically identified in NAVSEA 0938-018-0010. Airborne noise categories are defined as follows: Category A - Spaces other than category E spaces, where intelligible speech communication is necessary. Category B - Spaces where comfort of personnel in their quarters is normally considered to be an important factor. Category C - Spaces where it is essential to maintain especially quiet conditions. Category D - Spaces or areas where a higher noise level is expected and where deafness avoidance is a greater consideration than intelligible speech communications. Category E - High noise level areas where intelligible speech communication is necessary. Category F - Topside operating stations on weather decks where intelligible speech communication is necessary. "A" weighted noise levels specified in Table I shall not be exceeded at any microphone measuring position when all machinery and equipment in and around the surveyed space, area, or station is operated in a normal manner. The minimum number of microphone positions shall be two and shall include all watchstander stations. Instrumentation and procedures shall conform to the requirements of MIL-STD-740 and NAVSEA 0900-LP-004-3000. For category A, B, C, and F spaces, measurements shall be made at any convenient ship speed. For category A, B, and C spaces, airborne noise levels shall be evaluated with full ventilation feeding the compartment. Category D and E spaces shall be measured at the maximum obtainable ship's speed during the time of the survey. Full power is preferred. If airborne noise levels exceed Table I levels in any D or E compartment, a second measurement shall be recorded at the ship's normal cruising speed. OPNAVINST 6260.2 establishes exposure limits for potentially hazardous noise levels of 85 dBA (continuous or intermittent) and 140 dB peak sound pressure (impulse or impact). Work areas or equipment which produce sound pressure levels of 85 dBA or greater or 140 dB peak sound pressure level shall be appropriately labeled. NAVMED 6260/2, Hazardous Noise Warning Decal, 8" x 10 1/2" and the NAVMED 6260/2A, Hazardous Noise Labels (displayed on hand tools), 1" x 1 1/2" are approved decals and labels for appropriately marking noise hazardous areas or equipment.

Machinery Vibration Survey Machinery vibration analysis shall be performed to evaluate the mechanical fitness of shipboard machinery with regard to balance, alignment and bearing performance. Shipboard machinery items are categorized as follows: 1. Machinery not covered by specifications. 2. Machinery covered by specifications. 3. Main engine and reduction gear vibration, not covered by specifications. 4. Reciprocating equipment (i.e., air compressors, A/C and refrigeration compressors, diesel powered equipment), not covered by specifications. New auxiliary machinery and equipment shall be certification tested in accordance with the requirements of MIL-STD-167-1, except for the following: 1. Equipment identical to equipment previously approved prior to 1969. 2. Test equipment and equipment for dockside use only. Where minor differences in construction and design exist between proposed equipment and previously approved equipment, the Supervisor shall determine whether or not testing is required. The vibration tests and analysis shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-740 and a copy of the results forwarded to the Supervisor. In-service machinery vibration analysis shall be performed by the contractor when authorized by the Supervisor. Machinery and equipment shall be tested in a normal operating mode with bearing temperatures stabilized. Motor generators and turbine generators shall be vibration tested with an electrical load of 35-50%, if possible. Vibration levels shall be recorded at all machinery bearing locations or at locations specified in applicable MCA test procedure. If a machine consists of a driver and driven component separated by a flexible coupling, measurements shall be made on or near bearing caps of both the driver and driven component. Handheld or clamped on devices are not considered satisfactory attachments for mounting of vibration transducers. Steel mounting blocks which meet MIL-STD-740 specifications shall be welded or epoxied to individual bearing caps. Prior to cementing, the mounting point surface shall be cleaned to bare metal. Cement must be completely hardened before measurements are recorded. Vibration transducers shall be attached to the mounting block in the vertical, transverse and axial directions using either stud mounting or magnetic attachment. Before transducers are mounted on a block, all mating surfaces shall be cleaned of all dirt, grease, and other foreign matter in preparation for mounting. Instrumentation systems for conduct of machinery vibration tests shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-740, and shall respond at known repeatable levels over a frequency range of at least 10 HZ to 5K HZ. The vibration analyzer shall be capable of measuring vibration levels in bandwidths at least as narrow as 1/10 octave. The dynamic range of the instrumentation system shall provide a range of at least 60 dB in order to permit identification of all spectral components of the vibration signature relative to the various machinery. Data shall be recorded in such a manner that broadband levels are within and not more than 10 dB below the upper limit of the instrument system usable dynamic range envelope

073b.2.a. Machinery Not Covered by Specifications This category covers machinery vibration analysis surveys not authorized for conduct under a specifically developed test specification. Machinery vibration analysis shall be performed when authorized to evaluate the mechanical fitness of the unit for continued service. Vibration measurements are to be recorded from bearing positions with machines operating at normal speed and load. Vibration levels are to be measured and reported in velocity decibels (V dB) where V dB = 20 log measured rms velocity (cm/sec) 10-6 (cm/sec) Broadband VdB levels shall be recorded from each triaxial mounting block in the vertical, axial and transverse directions at bearing locations. If for a given machine, no broadband level exceeds 110 VdB no further vibration measurements are required and the unit is considered satisfactory. If, however, any broadband level exceeds 110 VdB, vibration levels at applicable forcing frequencies shall be measured in bandwidths no wider than 1/10 octave at all transducer locations on the machine. If the narrowband vibration data identifies no forcing frequencies above 110 VdB within the analysis frequency range, no further evaluation is necessary and the units are considered satisfactory from a vibration standpoint. Should forcing frequencies for the machine exhibit high levels (above 110 VdB) and influence the mechanical integrity of the machine, then corrective action is required. Typical forcing frequencies are: 1. Rotation (driver and driven), balance 2. Twice (2 times) rotation, alignment 3. Sub-rotational frequencies; such as oil whip, oil (water) whirl 4. Gear mesh 5. Pump impeller rate 6. Turbine blade rate 7. 60 Hz and, 120 Hz (electrical machines) 8. Ball bearing frequencies The acceptance criteria specified above is to be used as a guide in the evaluation of mechanical fitness for equipment designed to more liberal specifications. In such instances, the basis for judgement shall be reported. 073b.2.b. Machinery Covered by Specifications This category covers machinery vibration analysis authorized for conduct under specifically developed test specifications. Test procedures may be invoked which establish specific requirements for instrumenting, performing, and evaluating machinery vibration. Work authorized by the Supervisor for the purpose of conducting pre-overhaul or post-overhaul machinery vibration testing shall be conducted in accordance with the approved and invoked steam plant test procedure. New or newly overhauled machinery included in the ship’s vibration analysis (MVA) program shall satisfy vibration requirements of specific average machine values. Such programs are in compliance with NAVSEA S9073-AX-SPN-010/MVS and depend on the ship’s applicable Vibration Test and Analysis Guide (VTAG) to identify machinery, provide pertinent measurement locations, numbering conventions, test conditions, manufacturer’s configuration information, analysis ranges and major forcing frequencies. Acceptable vibration data results shall not exceed like unit average machine values (statistically averaged signatures maintained in the ship’s/ Class program database). For pre-overhaul vibration testing, units shall be compared to the Mean plus two Standard Deviations of the statistically aberaged machine data as criteria. New or newly overhauled units shall be compared to the Mean plus one Standard Deviation of the statistically averaged machine data as criteria. Vibration testing and analysis of the equipment shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9073-AX-SPN-010/ MVA, using the ship’s applicable VTAG, and the following. 1. Test the equipment at normal operational speed and load using the equipment technical manual for guidance. 2. Vibration data shall be recorded after obtaining stabilized bearing temperatures for continuous duty equipment. 3. Prior to collecting any data: Operate pumps with electric motor drivers a minimum of four (4) hours. Operate pumps with auxiliary turbine drivers a minimum of two (2) hours. Operate other equipment a minimum of one hour.

The “TEXT” option gives tabulated numeric values of each spectral line by sensor location. For aircraft carriers, VTAG and average machine values are availavle from the Integrated Planning Activity, call (757)967-6022. 073.b.2.c. Main Engine and Reduction Gear Vibration, Not Covered by Specifications Unless otherwise directed, main propulsion steam turbines shall be evaluated from a structureborne vibration standpoint in accordance with MIL-T-17600. Vibration analysis on both the H.P. turbine and L.P. turbine shall be conducted in accordance with MIL-STD-740. Vibration levels shall be recorded from triaxial mounting blocks attached to the center of the bearing housing for both the turbine free end and turbine drive end of the propulsion turbines. Measurements shall be made in the vertical, transverse and axial directions for each triaxial mounting block location. Vibration transducers shall be stud mounted to the blocks in accordance with MIL-STD-740. Handheld, clamped on or magnetic transducer attachments are not considered adequate for main propulsion turbine vibration analysis because of the high vibration levels and frequencies encountered. Unless otherwise specified, broadband measurements shall not be used to determine propulsion turbine condition. Measurements shall be taken at least at all fundamental forcing frequencies in bandwidths no wider than 1/10 octave. Vibration levels shall not exceed propulsion turbine vibration limits specified in Figure 5 of MIL-T-17600. Vibration data shall be measured on the propulsion turbines at the maximum achievable shaft RPM. Full power vibration data is preferred. Corrective action is required should internally induced structureborne vibration levels exceed displacement levels specified in MIL-T-17600. Reduction gear, attached lube oil pump and shaft thrust bearing internally-induced vibration levels shall be measured using MIL-STD-740 analysis techniques. Steel triaxial mounting blocks shall be attached to equipment bearing locations for measurement of the vibration signature in the vertical, transverse and axial directions. Stud mounting or magnetic transducer attachments are acceptable. Vibration levels shall be measured and reported in VdB relative to 106 cm/sec. If no broadband levels exceed 110 VdB, then no further vibration measurements are required and the machinery is considered satisfactory. Should broadband levels exceed 110 VdB, vibration levels at fundamental forcing frequencies shall be measured in bandwidths no wider than 1/10 octave at all transducer locations on the machine. If narrowband analysis determines that non-fundamental forcing frequencies above 5K HZ are controlling the broadband level, the machinery should be considered satisfactory from a noise and vibration standpoint. 073b.2.d. Reciprocating Equipment (i.e., Air Compressor, A/C and Refrigeration Compressors, Diesel Powered Equipment), Not Covered by Specifications New reciprocating equipment designed for shipboard use shall meet the requirements of MIL-STD-167-2, type III. Equipment which contains only minor differences in construction or design between proposed equipment and previously approved equipment can be waived of testing requirements upon approval of the Supervisor. Equipment shall be vibration tested for internally excited vibration. Vibration levels shall be recorded from triaxial mounting blocks attached to machinery bearing locations. Vibration levels shall be recorded in the vertical, transverse and axial directions. MIL-STD-167-1 should be used as a guide for evaluating balance, alignment and bearing related frequencies of the machinery. Since piston rate levels generally influence the entire noise signature of a reciprocating machine, engineering judgement should be the governing factor in determining the acceptability of the equipment for continued service.

MIL-STD-167-1, Type 1 vibration limits apply. 073b.4. Isolation System Survey A pre-overhaul isolation system survey shall be conducted to verify that the ship's resiliently mounted systems are adequately noise isolated. Section 3-117 of Ship Acoustical Surveys NAVSEA 0900-LP-004-3000 shall be used as a guide in evaluating the existing condition of noise isolation features. The Isolation System Survey shall consist of a visual inspection of sound isolation equipment such as resilient mounts, flexible pipe connections and flexible ground straps to ensure they are installed correctly, undamaged, non-shorted and not outdated. The following inspection items should be included: 1. Inspect resilient elements and distributed isolation material (DIM) for deterioration, cracks, or excessive compression. Minor paint spatter on rubber elements is acceptable. Inspect for improperly installed resilient mounts (upside down or cocked). Mount compression/loading is checked by measuring the mount height and comparing it to the mount height tolerance specified for a particular mount. Shim thicknesses shall not be included. 2. Inspect ground straps and piping attached to resiliently mounted components to ensure that the components can move freely. 3. Ensure that there is a minimum of 18 inches of cable, with at least 3 inches of slack, between the point of attachment on equipment and the first hanger. 4. Check snubber clearances to ensure that snubbers do not sound-short resilient mounts. 5. Inspect for improperly installed flexible pipe connections caused by misalignment between machinery flange and pipe flange. 6. Perform housekeeping inspection of resiliently mounted systems. Inspect bedplates for sound shorts. A report shall be issued to the Supervisor listing sound shorts, improper resilient mount installations and defective flexible connections. Each problem and its location should be identified. The final report should include recommendations for corrective action. 073b.5. Sonar Self-Noise Survey A sonar self-noise survey shall be performed during post-repair trials for the purpose of verifying proper operation of the sonar system and minimum flow noise in the area of the sonar dome. This survey measures the ship's self-induced noise level at the face of the sonar hydrophones versus ship's speed. Refer to Section 092 for specific requirements regarding sonar self-noise surveys. 073b.6. NAVSEA Acoustical Trials NAVSEA acoustical trials are funded by the Surface Ship Silencing Post Overhaul Acoustic Trials Program and scheduled by the Type Commander, preferably within the ship's overhaul warranty period. A post-overhaul underway radiated noise trial shall be conducted by NAVSEA to: 1. Establish a new radiated and structureborne baseline for the ship. 2. Verify the effectiveness of the silencing package installed during the overhaul, if appropriate. 3. Identify Contractor-responsible items when accomplished within the warranty period. 073c. Mounting of Equipment 073c.1. Resilient Mounts Table III lists the standard Navy approved resilient mounts along with plan numbers. Where the installation requires the use of other than standard Navy mounts, the mounts shall be tested by the contractor in accordance with MIL-M-17185 prior to application for shipboard use. Requirements regarding the procurement, selection, application, inspection and replacement of resilient mounts and the design of resilient mounting systems are specified in the Resilient Mount Handbook, NAVSEA S9073-A2-HBK-010 and Ship Noise Control, NAVSEA S9073-AF-SNC-010/(C). Resilient mountings shall be used only for the specified application, or where approved, to meet noise, shock, or vibration requirements. All resiliently mounted equipment shall have flexible connections. Temporary chocks or straps should be installed, or jacking bolts utilized, between the foundation and subbase of resiliently mounted equipment to maintain mounting system alignment and proper mount loading during the installation of flexible piping connections. Special attention is necessary to ensure the removal of all chocks, straps or jacking bolts after assembly is complete. All units installed on resilient mounting shall have sufficient stability to prevent excessive motion under shock, and all ship motions. Sufficient clearance shall be provided to prevent the unit from striking structure, adjacent fixed or resiliently mounted units, or other fixed

All welding or flame-cutting in way of mounts shall be finished before installation of the mounts. When installing or replacing resilient mounts, special attention should be given to ensure that the shelf life (storage life) of the mount has not exceeded seven years. Where the shelf life of a resilient mount has exceeded seven years, the mount can still be installed aboard ship providing the mount successfully passes a resonant frequency test and a load deflection test in accordance with their applicable specification. The service life of a resilient mount shall commence on the date the mounts are loaded. The loading date shall be stamped on the metal part of the mount adjacent to the mount identification data and shall be visible after installation. Where mounts are inaccessible for inspection after installation, a metal tag incorporating the required data shall be attached to the equipment subbase or foundation adjacent to the applicable mounts. Resilient mounts shall be replaced after being in service for 10 years or at the overhaul closest to, but not exceeding, 10 years from the date of installation or as indicated by current NAVSEA requirements. If, in an installation required to be placed on resilient mountings, there is a possibility of misalignment between two or more components connected by shafting, the components shall be mounted on a common subbase with the resilient mountings installed between the subbase and the ship structure. Where braces must be employed to afford stability under vibration, these braces shall be designed to fail under a load caused by a force equal to five times the weight of the unit. This load shall be assumed to be acting at the center of gravity of the unit.

Snubbers have the function of reducing equipment excursions. They should engage and limit the equipment motion caused by heavy seas, shock, or sudden maneuvers. Noise isolation of equipment must not be compromised by the snubber arrangement. Snubber clearances should be sufficient to allow the machinery to float on the resilient mounts during normal ship maneuvers. NAVSEA 0900-LP-089-5010 shall be used as a guide for setting proper snubber clearances.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 075 THREADED FASTENERS 075a. Scope This section contains requirements for threaded fasteners not contained in other sections of these specifications. 075b. General (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) This section defines threaded fastener requirements applicable to shipyard assembled joints and attachment of machinery and components to their foundation or to hull structure. Threaded fastener requirements for components shall be as defined in the applicable military component specification except that where no requirements exist, the requirements herein shall apply. Definitions shall be as given in the following: Screw-Thread Standards for Federal Services, FED-STD-H-28. Glossary of Terms for Mechanical Fasteners, Standard ANSI B18.12. Screw threads shall comply with the standards of FED-STD-H-28 or standard ANSI B1.1. Threads for fasteners shall be of the unified series unless otherwise specified. Where the use of a thread locking compound is allowed, the material and its application shall comply with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-22473 and be inspected, after installation, in accordance with DOD-STD-1371. The use of a class 2 or 3 thread fit with a thread locking compound may be used in lieu of a class 5 thread fit as an alternative method for setting studs where design temperatures are 200 degrees F or less. Unless otherwise specified, bolts and studs shall be installed in holes no greater than the following sizes (see Section 072 for shock requirements): Nominal Bolt Dia. (Inches) 3/4 inch & smaller Larger than 3/4 in.

Maximum Dia. of Hole (Inches) Bolt diameter + 1/32 Bolt diameter + 1/16

Coating of fasteners shall be in accordance with MIL-S-1222. See Section 070 restrictions on the use of cadmium plated fasteners. Threaded fasteners shall comply with the following specifications: Studs, bolts, hex cap screws and nuts Cap screws - socket head Machine screws Setscrews

MIL-S-1222 FF-S-86 FF-S-92 FF-S-200 & FF-S-210

Threaded fasteners of commercially stocked lengths shall be used unless otherwise specified or approved. The following provides the guidance that should be used for threaded fastener installations. a. For any installations where new fasteners are being installed. (1) The minimum thread protrusion for male threaded fasteners is one full thread beyond the face of the nut or plastic insert of self locking nuts. Excessive protrusion should be avoided, particularly where necessary clearances, accessibility and safety are important. Where practicable, the number of threads protruding should not exceed five. In no case should thread protrusion exceed ten threads. In the case of studs, excessive thread protrusion may indicate that the stud has not been properly driven in the blind hole. (2) For self-locking (plastic insert) nut installations, where the distance from the face of the nut to the edge of the plastic insert is equal to or greater than the chamfer on the bolt or stud end, the bolt or stud end may be flush with the face of the nut after the threaded fasteners have been installed and tightened. Tests and service experience have shown this to provide sufficient thread engagement for these installations. b. For existing threaded fastener joints and for installations where threaded fasteners are being reused. (1) Where standard or heavy hex nuts are used the acceptable minimum protrusion would be where the leading edge of the first male thread on the bolt or stud end is flush with the face of the nut. No maximum amount of thread protrusion is established except where excessive protrusion could cause damage to machinery or harm to personnel.

Section 075

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

(2) For self-locking (plastic insert) nut installations the requirement of a. (2) above must be met. Washers shall not be used for the sole purpose of lessening thread protrusion. Thread engagement for the setting end of a stud or bolt shall be sufficient so that the shear load strength of the engaged threads is more than the tensile load strength of the stud or bolt. FED-STD-H-28 gives an acceptable method of determining required length of engagement. The length of internal thread (length of engagement) and the diameter, shall be sufficient so that, taking into account a possible difference in strength of material of the internal and external threads, the full strength of the stud will be developed before either the external or internal threads strip. Where the material into which the stud is engaged is as strong as or stronger than the stud, strength calculations are not required, provided that the length of engagement is not less than the thickness of the corresponding size of regular finished hexagon nut as given in Mil. Spec. MIL-S-1222. Where threaded fasteners are installed for applications above 300 degrees F, an anti-seize compound, Mil. Spec. MIL-A-907, shall be used on the threads. Internal fasteners, accessible only by disassembling a component, shall be of a self-locking type in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-N-25027 or MIL-F-18240. Unless otherwise specified herein, mechanical thread locking devices and methods such as lockwashers, either spring, tooth or tab type, peening, wiring, pinning or thread upset after assembly shall not be used. For fasteners manufactured by shipyards or bought in quantities of 500 or less, and for receipt inspections of fasteners, thread dimensional verification may be by System 21 gaging per ASME B1.3M where applicable fastener specification requires System 22 gaging. Except for high stress cyclic shipboard applications, fastener thread manufacture may be by cutting, grinding or rolling even though the fastener specification limits manufacture to thread rolling. A high stress cyclic application is one in which a minimum of 1000 cycles per year is expected, and the stress due to load or preload exceeds 2/3 the minimum yield strength of the fastener. 075c. Bolting for Hull Integrity and Maximum Impact Strength (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) Maximum impact strength shall be provided for bolted connections which are located below the full load waterline and which cannot be isolated from the sea by the sea valve. This can be achieved by threading over the entire length, by reducing the unthreaded shank diameter to a dimension that falls between the pitch diameter and the root diameter or by leaving the unthreaded area of rolled threads the same diameter as the unthreaded shank. Fasteners having changes in cross-sectional area, such as headed bolts, are acceptable provided the cross sectional changes are not abrupt and an essentially uniform strength fastener cannot be used. Threaded fasteners subject to loosening by shock or vibration shall be of the self-locking type. For applications requiring a thread locking feature, either self-locking nuts in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-N-25027 or self-locking male fasteners in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-F-18240 may be used. The qualification requirements of Mil. Spec. MIL-F-18240 shall not apply for the coarse thread series and for sizes greater than 1/2-inch diameter except that the torque requirements for fine threads shall apply. Self-locking nuts having plastic inserts can be used at temperatures not to exceed 250 degrees F for polyamide plastic inserts, and 450 degrees F for polyamide plastic inserts. The following Military Standards apply for nuts of the indicated material: Nickel-copper alloy Carbon or alloy steel Corrosion-resisting steel

MS-17828 MS-17829 MS-17830, MS-21044, MS-16228

(Where regular thickness cannot be used, MS-16228 may be used providing strength requirements are not violated.) For temperatures up to 800 degrees F, see Mil. Spec. MIL-N-25027. Where controlled pre-stress of threaded fasteners is a design consideration, the Contractor shall provide necessary tightening instructions on the applicable drawing. Methods for tightening fasteners shall be in accordance with FED-STD-H-28 where tightened under controlled conditions, excluding tightening by the feel method. In applications other than hull integrity (such as foundation bolting), preferred bolting designs may be achieved by drilling an axial hole through the unthreaded portion of the body of the bolt for more uniform strength in tension and beveling the mating surfaces of the bolt holes for better resistance to shear forces. Bolt hole bevels shall be 1/16 inch by 45 degrees for bolts 3/4-inch diameter size and smaller, and 1/8 inch by 45 degrees for bolts larger than 3/4-inch diameter size. For applications other than hull integrity where maximum impact strength is a consideration, bolts, studs and stud bolts shall be of nickel-copper alloy with dimensions in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-1222. Nuts may be of either nickel-copper alloy or nickel-copper aluminum alloy. See Section 180 for additional foundation bolting requirements. 075d. Fitted Hold-Down Bolting (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) Where alignment must be maintained, fitted bolting in accordance with Table 1 shall be used.

Section 075

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

Foundation hold-down and alignment bolting shall be fitted and the holes reamed with the coupled parts in position. The fit shall be as specified in Table 1. The mating surfaces of the bolt and bolt hole shall have a surface smoothness of 63 micro-inches RHR (Roughness Height Rating) or smoother in accordance with Standard ANSI B46.1. 075e. Material for Bolting (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) Material for threaded fasteners shall be as specified in Table 2 and herein. Non-magnetic fasteners shall be in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-F-19700. Aluminum and aluminum alloy parts shall be assembled with steel fasteners coated in accordance with MIL-S-1222. Where through bolting is not possible, inserts to take fasteners shall be cast or threaded into the aluminum or aluminum alloy. Insert material shall be corrosion resistant steel, or steel coated in accordance with MIL-S-1222. (See Section 070 for cadmium restrictions). The design of the insert shall include a method of locking the insert in place to prevent backing out when in use. Provided that strength, wear, shock and vibration requirements can be met, either solid wall (bushing) in accordance with MIL-I-45914 or helical coil type in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-I-8846 shall be used. Length of engagement shall be sufficient to develop the full strength of the bolt. Washers of the same material and coating as the bolts and nuts shall be fitted below all nuts and bolt heads which adjoin aluminum or aluminum alloys. Fasteners fabricated by powder metallurgy process shall not be used. 075f. Repair and Overhaul Requirements MIL-STD-777 may be utilized for overhauled or repaired piping systems. Removal of studs only to determine condition of threads is 1. Chasing (tap or die) 2. Welding, with subsequent machining (tap or die) 3. Use of helicoil inserts per MIL-I-8846 4.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 077 SYSTEM SAFETY 077a. General The principal objective of a system safety program during overhaul is to ensure that safety is designed into new or modified systems, subsystems, and equipment. The interfaces between new or modified systems and existing systems must be examined to ensure that hazards are not introduced and that the safety features in the baseline ship are not inadvertently degraded. For tailoring guidance, System Safety Program Plan Development guidance, and for definitions relating to systems safety, see MIL-STD-882. 077b. System Safety Program Requirements During Overhaul The Contractor for Overhaul shall prepare a System Safety Program Plan which shall include requirements to: a. Define the methodologies to be used to identify and resolve hazards. b. Review standards, specifications, regulations, and other sources of design requirements to ensure that during the design of new systems or modifications to existing systems, inherent safety is not degraded nor new hazards introduced. c. Locate new equipment so that personnel exposure to hazards such as voltage, electromagnetic radiation, cutting edges and sharp points is minimized. d. Conduct a safety review of proposed engineering changes, waivers, and deviations and submit a brief safety review summary with each. e. Follow the order of precedence in MIL-STD-882 in developing solutions to identified hazards. f. Prepare and submit periodic system safety progress reports which describe the safety effort for the reporting period including safety actions, any safety items of particular concern, and identified hazards and their resolution. Include in the final report a summary of any hazards that were not resolved and recommended further action. g. Provide a representative to assist in the investigation of mishaps in order to identify design deficiencies in the ship or SHIPALT and to recommend corrective actions. 077c. System Safety Program Requirements During SHIPALT Development Developers of SHIPALTs, including Planning Yards, shall: a. Review standards, specifications, regulations, and other sources of design requirements to ensure that during the design of new systems or modifications to existing systems, inherent safety is not degraded nor new hazards introduced. b. Locate new equipment so that personnel exposure to hazards such as voltage, electromagnetic radiation, cutting edges and sharp points is minimized. c. Review the interfaces of the altered system to existing systems to ensure that hazards are not introduced and that the safety features in the baseline ship are not inadvertently degraded.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 083 SUPPLY SUPPORT 083a. GENERAL Section 083 establishes Naval Supervising Activity (NSA) (i.e., cognizant naval shipyard, ship repair facility or Supervisor of Shipbuilding - SUPSHIP) Allowance section Integrated Logistics Support (ILS)/Integrated Logistics Overhaul (ILO) related responsibilities and procedures for updating Navy Surface Ships Allowance Lists and Publication Applicability Lists (PAL) to reflect ship configuration following an overhaul. Allowance Lists, depicting authorized onboard repair parts and equipage support of shipboard equipment and components are published as a Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL). The COSAL provides authorization for procurement of noncomponent-related equipage and miscellaneous categories of material. The mechanized COSAL is printed and distributed by the Navy Ships Parts Control Center (SPCC), Mechanicsburg, PA. The content of the COSAL is based upon configuration records maintained in the SPCC Weapons System File (WSF). These configuration records are generally maintained at the component level. Within the COSAL, all repair parts and equipage for individual components are listed in Allowance Parts Lists (APL) or on Allowance Equipage Lists (AEL). The quantity of each repair part or equipage item, or both, authorized to be carried onboard a ship is shown on the Stock Number Sequence List (SNSL) and is determined by SPCC computations for each item listed in the COSAL. The initial COSAL is built from configuration records input to the WSF during new construction in accordance with procedures contained in NAVSEA 0900-LP-060-0080 and NAVSEAINST 4444.10. COSAL maintenance procedures used after issue of the new construction COSAL are contained in SPCC INST 4441.170 CH1, NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 and NAVSEA SL105-AA-PRO-010. Ships undergoing an overhaul of 12 months or more receive an updated COSAL at Start of Overhaul (SOH). At End of Overhaul (EOH) minus six (-6) months with concurrence of SPCC and the Officer in Charge (OIC) of the Supply Operations Assistance Program/Integrated Logistics Overhaul (SOAP/ILO) a load COSAL is generated. For overhauls of six or more months, the NSA is required to forecast EOH adds and deletes to SPCC to meet the COSAL cutoff date of SOH-4 months. For overhauls of less than six months, the NSA shall forecast change information to the WSF prior to established COSAL cutoff dates. All planning/overhaul activities and logistic support managers will receive a Ship Alteration Management Information System Ordnance Module (SOM) at SOH-6. This Fleet Modernization Program (FMP) product prepared and maintained by Naval Weapons Station (WPNSTA), Concord, CA provides an EOH forecast of ordnance equipment. This forecast will be updated at SOH-6 months upon issuance of the overhaul authorization letter. Data provided by the SOM forecast will be included in the Summary List of Component Changes (SLCC) provided to SPCC at SOH-4 months by the NSA. SPCC will load the ordnance configuration changes submitted by the NSA with other Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) and Electronics information contained in the SLCC. This becomes a part of the ship's SOH COSAL. COSAL Overhaul Planning (COP) shall commence one year prior to SOH. The NSA shall be funded for COP from Ship Selected Records (SSR) funds by the cognizant NAVSEA Ship Logistic Division (SLD) approximately one year prior to SOH in order that COP may commence. The NSA is responsible for coordinating with lead activities to establish mutually agreeable dates to publish a detailed COP schedule at SOH-6 months. The schedule will establish COSAL cutoff, COSAL publication/distribution and ILO repair parts analysis cutoffs. Copies of the schedule and functions will be provided to NAVSUP, NAVSEA 904, NAVSEA 05L, the cognizant SLD, SPCC, the cognizant Type Commander (TYCOM), SOAP/ILO Team, cognizant Planning and Engineering for Repairs and Alterations (PERA), Navy Ships Systems Engineering Station Detachment, Mechanicsburg (NAVSSESDETMECH) and Naval Sea Support Center (NAVSEACEN). These activities will be notified of any delays in accomplishing scheduled tasks and significant changes to the published schedule. At SOH-6 months, the NSA or accomplishing activity shall assume maintenance of the configuration baseline reflecting the actual changes to ships configuration to be accomplished during the overhaul or availability and the Configuration Change Forms (CCF 4790/CK) submitted by the ship and ILO Site during this period. Once the COSAL, or load COSAL in case of overhauls 12 months or more, is computed, the normal vehicle to execute this responsibility is the Allowance Appendix Package (AAPG). The package becomes part of the COSAL until the next mechanized update and is an integral part of the SSR. A COSAL Quality Review will be conducted at SOH-4 months whenever COSAL Overhaul Planning (COP) is required, unless otherwise directed by the cognizant NAVSEA Ship Logistics Division. The quality review will be convened by the NSA with participation by SPCC, SEACENs and ship's force as appropriate. The purpose of the review is to ensure that all configuration changes

reported in the COSAL Overhaul Planning Process have been included in the SOH COSAL. This review changes the WSF, adding the data or correcting errors found during the review. 083b. ALLOWANCE RESPONSIBILITIES A. NAVAL SUPERVISING ACTIVITY (NAVAL SHIPYARD/PLANNING SUPSHIP/OVERHAULING SUPSHIP) RESPONSIBILITIES. The NSA is the Naval industrial activity responsible for conducting a Regular Overhaul (ROH), Complex Overhaul (COH), or Baseline Overhaul (BOH), which will result in configuration changes to the ship, with attendant changes to the ship's allowance lists and related documentation. Within this context the use of the term NSA is restricted to delineation of responsibilities involving policies and procedures for maintenance and update of the ships COSAL. The NSA may be the overhauling Naval Shipyard, the Planning SUPSHIP, the accomplishing SUPSHIP, or under special circumstances, a NAVAL SHIP REPAIR FACILITY (NAVSHIPREPFAC). The responsibilities of the NSA are: 1. Upon receipt of pre-overhaul Design Services Allocation (DSA) COP funds from the cognizant NAVSEA SLD (360 days prior to SOH), assign a ship COSAL specialist who will: a. Review applicable documentation and participate in the overhaul planning process to project configuration changes to the WSF. b. Develop and maintain a file of material adds and deletes on an individual alteration and ship basis. Such lists shall be periodically verified against the SHIP ALTERATION MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (SAMIS) and work packages (discrepancies shall be resolved). c. Participate in pre-overhaul ship checks as required and overhaul planning efforts at the Work Definition Conference. d. Coordinate with lead activities to establish mutually agreeable COP dates and publish the COP schedule at SOH-6 months. e. Distribute the COP schedule and notify all recipients of significant changes or delays in meeting the schedule. f. Participate in overhaul progress meetings and report status of COSAL updates. g. Obtain an output of the WSF which lists the ships configuration records recorded for use in submitting planned adds and deletes to be accomplished during the overhaul, to SPCC. 2. Obtain support from NAVSEA ILS activities and In-Service Engineering Agents (ISEA), as required, to provide Weapons System logistic support reviews during the overhaul. 3. Review or monitor all sources of information for equipment additions for Provisioning Technical Documentation (PTD) input to the Inventory Control Point (ICP). PTD is currently processed and provided in accordance with MIL-P-15137C. MIL-STDS 1552 and 1561 will replace current procedures upon final approval. 4. At 180 days prior to overhaul start (SOH-6 months) actively assume responsibility as point of contact for identifying, receiving and processing information on component and equipage configuration changes applicable to the ship during the planned overhaul, including Configuration Change Forms (CCFs) submitted by the ship and by SOAP/ILO. This responsibility continues until the end of overhaul. This includes submission of configuration related data elements for all configuration changes (adds, changes and deletes) to the WSF and for coordinating the resolution of differences between ILO reported changes and NSA records. 5. Publish a total number of anticipated add and delete configuration changes at SOH. Equipment counts should include only those estimates based on authorized work and approved material lists, such as, 180 Day Letter, SAMIS Reports, PERA Long Lead Time Material Lists. For purposes of continuity, all activities involved with the preparation of allowance input statistical documentation, shall use the following count criteria: a. Count one for each range APL added. b. Count one for each range APL deleted. c. Count one for each time an APL is increased in-depth. d. Count one for each time an APL is decreased in-depth. 6. Brief the appropriate ships force members concerning overhaul yard ILS functions and responsibilities during the availability. 7. Submit timely and accurate configuration change data (actual and planned adds, changes and deletes) to ensure full maintenance and supply support at completion of the overhaul. To achieve this, the following standards are established for the submission of equipment configuration change data to SPCC and SOAP/ILO:

ALLOWANCE INPUT PERCENTAGE COSAL CUTOFF

SOAP/ILO NAVAL SHIPYARD 90% 90%

75% 50%

CUTOFF EOH SUPSHIP 85% 100% 75% 100%

Percentages represent the relationship between the actual number of configuration inputs completed to the total number of inputs anticipated for a specific hull. The COSAL cutoff is defined as the latest acceptable date by which SPCC must have configuration inputs that will be included in the mechanized baseline COSAL. The SOAP/ILO cutoff is defined as the latest date the SOAP/ILO team must have the equipment change information to be included in the NSC Oakland Electronic Accounting Machine (EAM) process. Because the ship's COSAL must be manually changed for equipment changes occurring after COSAL cutoff, equipment changes should be submitted prior to COSAL cutoff. 8. In accordance with procedures of NAVSEAINST 4441.3: a. Submit all configuration changes to SPCC for WSF input. b. Develop AAPG to update the COSAL to reflect ship's configuration as modified from the COSAL at cutoff. c. Provide documentation for APL development. d. Provide supply support documentation to SOAP/ILO adjusted to the end of overhaul configuration. 9. Ensure that adequate PTD is immediately obtained and prepared in accordance with MIL-P-15137C for all locally procured or fabricated components. 10. Site validation of equipment/components installed or removed during overhaul is mandatory and considered essential to the maintainability of the ship's baseline. Site validations may be made upon receipt prior to installation, in staging assembly areas, on the ship, or by verification of actual configurations by an acquisition manager of ISEA to ensure meeting the site validation requirements and the change input goals and objectives. 11. Prepare final SLCC and SLEC during the last month of the overhaul utilizing a cutoff date of EOH minus five days. The SLCC/SLEC, upon distribution, will be utilized as follows: a. As a temporary supplemental COSAL Index by the ship until the postoverhaul COSAL Index is received. b. As a summary of the configuration changes previously forwarded to the SOAP/ILO since baseline cutoff. c. As a configuration change input document to SPCC. 12. Certify in writing the EOH configuration baseline (all changes during current availability). Signed copies of the baseline certification will be distributed with the SLCC/SLEC. 13. Publish revised pages to account for configuration changes which are necessary after publication of the SLCC/SLEC. 14. Distribute the SLCC/SLEC, including revisions, AAPG and source documents (as applicable) at EOH plus 15 days as follows: a. Cognizant SOAP/ILO Team - 3 copies of SLCC/SLEC and 2 copies of applicable APL/AEL/AAP (SOAP Team provides copies to ship) b. SPCC (Code 05521) - 1 copy of SLCC/SLEC and 1 copy of applicable AAP for WSF update c. Cognizant NAVSEACEN - 1 copy of SLCC/SLEC/AAP d. ISEA - 1 copy of SLCC/SLEC e. Applicable PERA f. Planning yard 15. The responsibilities and procedures for configuration and COSAL maintenance by activities accomplishing configuration changes during availabilities other than COH, ROH, or BOH are the same as those identified herein for NSA's (Ref. NAVSEA 0900-LP-060-0210 part 10-C-6), except that the SLCC is provided to the NAVSEACEN for input to the WSF. For availabilities other than COH, ROH, and BOH, a COSAL is not printed and the early planning and verifications of the WSF are not normally required. All configuration and allowance equipage changes are incorporated for the AAPG produced at the end of the availability. Based on the size of the AAPG's for the ship, a mini-COSAL may be requested by the ship or directed by SPCC. NSA allowance work normally commencing 360 days prior to overhaul need not start until 180 days prior to an availability other than an overhaul.

083c. OVERHAULS REGULAR/COMPLEX THAT INCLUDE A SUPPLY OPERATIONS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM INTEGRATED LOGISTICS OVERHAUL (SOAP/ILO). The responsibilities and procedures contained in this section apply to maintenance of the COSAL for all active surface ships undergoing ROH or COH by a NSA. This section outlines the NSA responsibilities and procedures for COSAL maintenance during ROH/COH and defines the interfacing responsibilities of other ILS activities involved in the overhaul effort. SPCC will develop an SOH COSAL based upon the WSF data and COP changes developed by the NSA which are scheduled to occur during the overhaul. SPCC will provide the NSA and the SOAP/ILO team with a listing of planned equipment changes incorporated into the COSAL 21-days prior to SOH. 1. The NSA performing the overhaul will notify SOAP/ILO teams of any equipment changes made during the maintenance overhaul in accordance with NAVSEA SL105-AA-PRO-010 and provide SOAP/ILO teams with APL/AAPG for new equipment installed incident to the overhaul, for equipment previously installed but omitted from the Inventory Control Point (ICP) prepared COSAL, and for equipment changes accomplished by ship's force or tender personnel during the maintenance overhaul and reported to the NSA on CCR-4790CK. The supply aids to be provided by the NSA to the SOAP team shall be: APL, AEL, AAP and interim SLCC. 2. During an overhaul, various activities assist the ship in documenting configuration changes into a COSAL. The responsibilities of the NSA are defined in this section. The NSA has the responsibility for documenting configuration changes that take place as part of the shipyard overhaul effort. The NSA also assumes responsibility for changes made outside of the overhaul and properly reported on CCRs. 3. NSA Responsibilities. The NSA has responsibilities as follows: a. The NSA will serve as the focal point for receipt of all CCR's applicable during an overhaul. This includes configuration changes made by the ship's force and reported by the ship to the NSA. b. All configuration range increases, projected into the COSAL prior to overhaul, will be sight validated by the NSA. c. The NSA will identify all equipment changes to an existing APL/AEL and furnish two copies of the applicable APL/AEL to the SOAP/ILO team for processing into the ship's COSAL. The NSA will maintain, at a minimum, one copy of the COSAL indices and the Summary of Effective Allowance Parts/Equipage Lists (SOEAPL). d. If an equipment cannot be identified to an existing APL, the NSA will: (1) Ensure PTD is procured and furnished to SPCC on NSA procured equipment. PTD must be approved by SPCC and is utilized to develop APLs/AELs or to identify an existing APL/AEL. (2) If PTD is not received from the vendor by EOH-2 months or has not been approved by SPCC, the NSA will prepare an Allowance Appendix Page. The AAP provides parts support information for applicable equipments until such time as an APL/AEL can be identified or developed. The appropriate ISEA or Ship Intermediate Maintenance Activities (NAVELEX equipment) is responsible for assisting the NSA in identifying equipment and obtaining PTD. e. As equipment changes occur and an APL/AEL is identified or an AAP is developed, the NSA will forward copies of the applicable support document under a letter of transmittal to the SOAP/ILO team to update the remaining portions of the ship's COSAL and identify, document, and initiate procurement of parts support. f. Prior to the initial SOAP EAM input to the Naval Supply Center, Oakland, and prior to the preparation of the Master SLCC/SLEC at the end of overhaul minus five working days, the letters of transmittal will be reconciled with the SOAP/ILO team to ensure that all configuration changes that were documented by the NSA were received by the SOAP/ILO team. g. As configuration changes occur, the NSA will summarize them on an SLCC and/or SLEC. h. The NSA will consolidate all configuration changes processed up to and including the last month of overhaul or not later than the End of Overhaul (EOH) minus five working days and distribute copies of the updated SLCC/SLEC, AAPs, and source documents (if applicable) at EOH plus 15 days as follows: (1) SPCC (CODE 0552) 1 copy (2) Cognizant NAVSEACEN 2 copies (3) Naval Ship Weapons Systems Engineering Station, Port Huemene 1 copy (4) SOAP/ILO 3 copies (5) PERA 1 copy (6) Planning Yard 1 copy The main purpose of forwarding the SLCC/SLEC to SPCC is to update the WSF to reflect configuration changes that occurred during a ship's overhaul.

083d. NSA ALLOWANCE PROCEDURES - SHIPS AVAILABILITY PERIOD THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE A SOAP/ILO This section defines the responsibilities and the procedures for updating the COSAL during various availability periods when an Allowance Branch of an NSA assists the ship to meet its responsibilities. These availabilities include, but are not limited to: SRA-Selected Restricted Availability RAV-Restricted Availability TAV-Technical Availability PSA-Post Shakedown Availability FOA-Fitting Out Availability When an NSA is assigned one of the above availability periods, the NSA assists the ship in basically the same manner as the "Overhaul" procedures. The NSA provides assistance and performs certain functions such as documenting configuration changes on an SLCC, identifying APLs for equipment, and providing copies of APLs to update the COSAL. The one exception is that during an availability period a SOAP is not normally conducted and, therefore, the SOAP/ILO team is not updating the COSAL. In this case, the aids to update the COSAL are sent to the ship and the supply officer must determine allowance changes, order deficiencies, and update the retained portions of the COSAL not held by the NSA. Specific responsibilities and procedures to be used during an availability period without a concurrent SOAP/ILO are as follows: 1. Start of Availability. Upon arrival and on request by the NSA, the ship provides the Allowance Section a copy of Part I of the COSAL. This copy includes any SLCC/SLEC not superseded by a revised COSAL Index from SPCC. The SOEAPL and Section A, B and C Indices show all changes since the documents were published and reflect the current APL/AEL/AAP allowance lists that apply to the ship's configuration. The NSA uses the copy of the COSAL provided by the ship to verify all configuration changes reported by the ship, contractors, and shipyard. The NSA validates and documents all configuration changes made by the NSA as they occur. 2. Configuration Change Documentation. During the availability, the NSA Allowance Section serves as the focal point for receiving information on ALL configuration changes applicable to a ship during that period. During the availability, the contractors report all configuration changes to the NSA. The NSA validates and documents configuration changes made by the NSA as they occur. Procedures for developing and processing configuration change documentation are contained in the following paragraphs a through d. a. The NSA Allowance Section initiates configuration change documentation for the following: (1) Adds - Actual component/equipage added during the availability. (2) Deletes - Actual component/equipage removed during the availability. b. Configuration Adds (Range). NSA sight validates NSA configuration range adds. Each range add is documented as follows: (1) Interim APL/AEL - If an equipment or equipage range add can be identified to an existing APL or AEL, the APL/AEL is called an "Interim APL" or "Interim AEL". Interim APLs/AELs are obtained from the General Distribution Microfiche Bank of APLs/AELs or from SPCC if the APL/AEL is not included in the microfiche bank. (2) Allowance Appendix Page (AAP) - If a component/equipage range add cannot be identified to an existing APL or AEL, the NSA prepares an AAP. Examples of documents used in preparing an AAP include PTD, Repair Parts Manuals, Drawings, Bill of Materials, and Repair Parts Shopping Guides. c. Configuration Deletes (Range) - Where the NSA has verified that an equipment or equipage item included in the ship's COSAL is no longer installed, it documents this delete by listing it on the SLCC/SLEC. d. Partial Configuration Changes (Adds/Deletes) - Where the NSA has verified that a partial configuration change has occurred, it documents this change by listing it on the SLCC/SLEC. As configuration changes occur, the NSA updates one copy of the ship's COSAL, Part I. The COSAL Index (Sections A, B and C) is marked up to reflect all configuration changes. Where there is not enough space to add the change, new index pages are developed and inserted. The SOEAPL is updated by lining out range deleted APLs and making a supplemental SOEAPL for APLs. The NSA provides the ship with two copies of each configuration change APL/AEL/AAP. The ship is responsible for updating their second index and SOEAPL to match the master provided by the NSA. 3. Supply Support Process - NSA. The NSA's basic responsibility during the availability, that does not include ILO, is to initiate the Supply Support Process. For each configuration "add", the allowed repair parts are identified on the appropriate APL/AEL/AAP and a Supply Availability Card, NAVSUP Form 1109, is provided for each. Only those repair parts that fall within the maintenance capability of the ship are included. During the last month of the availability, but no later than End of Availability (EOA) minus five working days, the NSA consolidates all configuration changes processed to date into a master SLCC and SLEC. No later than EOA, two copies of the master SLCC and SLEC are delivered to the ship. The SLCC/SLEC shall be typed. It is formatted in Service Application Sequence for HME and Nomenclature Sequence for electronics and ordnance. This document serves as a supplement to the ship's COSAL Index. 4. SLCC/SLEC Revised Pages. Since additional configuration changes may be identified by the NSA after the SLCC/SLEC printing, this method of documenting changes and updating the SLCC/SLEC is required. The NSA is responsible for

forwarding the revised pages to the holders of the SLCC/SLEC with all necessary associated data (AAP/APL/NAVSUP Form 1109 cards) forwarded to the ship. 5. Distribution of the SLCC/SLEC. Two copies of the initial SLCC/SLEC are prepared for delivery to the ship no later than EOA. At EOA plus 15 working days, the NSA distributes copies of the updated SLCC/SLEC to: Weapons System File (WSF) SPCC (Code 0552) 1 copy COMNAVSEASYSCOM (04K4) (w/o enclosures) 1 copy CO, NAVSHIPWPNSYSENGSTA Port Huemene, CA (Code 5110) 1 copy CO, NAVSSES (035C) 1 copy CO, NAVSEACENLANT/PAC (Code 920) 1 copy CO, NAVSEACENLANT/PAC (Code 936) 1 copy CO, NAVSSESDETMECH (Code 6831) 1 copy FOSAT (w/o enclosure) (for ships undergoing PSA's and FOA's) 1 copy Applicable PERA 1 copy Planning Yard 1 copy With the SLCC/SLEC forwarded to SPCC (Code 570), the NSA includes a copy of each locally prepared AAP cited in the SLCC and SLEC. In addition, if not previously provided to SPCC as PTD, the appropriate source documentation used to develop each AAP will be sent to SPCC with the SLCC/SLEC package. The SLCC/SLEC package mailed at EOA plus 15 working days by the NSA should include all configuration changes associated with the availability. The NSA must exert maximum effort to make sure this occurs. If, for any reason, the NSA identifies additional configuration changes after distribution of the updated SLCC/SLEC, it ensures that copies of the revised SLCC/SLEC pages are distributed to all holders of the SLCC/SLEC. When the NAVSEACEN receives the SLCC/SLEC package from NSA, it updates the ship's record in the WSF to reflect all electronics configuration changes. SPCC enters HM&E and Ordnance changes.

Definitions SHIPALT Proposal (SAP) is the document used by the NAVSEA Engineering and Platform Directorates to arrive at a management decision of whether or not to proceed with the development of a SHIPALT. The SAP in general defines the top level SHIPALT requirements and serves as the authorization to initiate detailed development of the shipalt's technical aspects. Normally the preparation of the SAP will be performed by the cognizant engineers in the NAVSEA Engineering Directorate. The detailed instructions for preparation of a SAP are contained in NAVSEA Technical Specification 9090-400. SHIPALT Record (SAR) is the document used by all commands that provides the detailed technical guidance and logistical information for the design and installation of a SHIPALT. The planning yard for each ship class is the engineering agent for SHIPALTS and serves as the single activity responsible for preparation, updating and maintenance of the SAR. The NAVSEA Engineering Directorates are responsible for the technical and logistical adequacy and content of SHIPALTS. The NAVSEA Platform Directorates are responsible for approval and issuance of the SHIPALT record and all changes thereto. The detailed instructions for preparation of a SAR are contained in NAVSEA Technical Specification 9090-600. Basic Alteration Class Drawings (BACD) are the first complete set of drawings prepared by the planning yard for a ship alteration. They are directly applicable to the designated lead ship and are as accurate, suitable, and truly representative as possible for direct use on other ships of the class covered by the alteration. Further data on the BACD is contained in NAVSEA Technical Specification 9090-600.

For new design or major reconfiguration of antenna systems, the antenna numbering and identification shall be double digit or triple digit numbers separated by a hyphen between the first and second digit (example 3-5, 4-12). The first digit of the number shall be used to designate the antenna category in accordance with NAVSEAINST 9405.1. The second and third digits shall be even (e.g. 1-2) for port and odd (e.g. 1-1) for starboard whenever possible. The additional alphabetical letter may be added when systems are fed from a common balanced feed point such as outboard (AS-3202/SRD-19) or SATNAV (AS-2815/SRR-1) (e.g. 1-5A, 1-5B, 1-5C, and 1-5D). The renumber of antenna arrangement drawings for those affected systems will be done at the same time the SHIPALT reconfigures the topside arrangement of the ship. The drawings shall include, a plan view and elevation views (profile), if necessary, to show antennas and their lead-ins to the point of entrance. Where applicable, the drawings shall include data on antenna weights, working circles, center of gravity, and center of wind pressure. Large transmission lines (waveguide and coaxial cable greater than one inch in diameter) are to be shown on general arrangement drawings. Drawings are to show lead-ins, routing, size, length, number of supporting insulators, special fittings and all pertinent installation design features such as access openings. 085m. Tank Capacities General. For any new tank added or existing tank modified (including damage control voids) during an overhaul, a capacity curve, sounding table or capacity table, or both, shall be developed or revised. If ship's selected record drawings exist for capacity curves, sounding tables, capacity tables, or both, the format established shall be followed for all revisions made to the existing drawings. A revision statement shall be added to each drawing revised, specifying each tank revised and reason for the revision. If no selected record drawings exist for tank capacity curves, sounding tables, or capacity tables, or both, for the ship undergoing an overhaul, the following specifications shall be followed, as applicable: Calculations for all curves shall be based on the assumption that the ship is on an even keel (or at its design drag, if applicable) and deductions shall be made for any significant obstructions such as structure, piping, and fixed ballast within the tank. Vertical centers of gravity shall be referenced to the bottom of the keel amidships. Longitudinal centers of gravity shall be referenced to the same longitudinal references as used in the curves of form. Transverse centers of gravity shall be referenced to the centerline of the ship. For tanks which are completely symmetrical about the centerline of the ship, a note to this effect shall be added to the drawing. For tanks with sounding tubes installed. A true projection of the sounding tube shall be plotted on the tank capacity curve drawing. The scale shall show each foot of sounding above the point at which the sounding instrument hits the striker plate and shall be based on the

Section 085

sounding tube as actually installed. The scale shall have sufficient divisions and distance between foot marks to allow legible curve readings of the increments. For tanks sounded by trycocks instead of by sounding tubes, a scale showing height of each cock shall be substituted. Tank capacity curves. These drawings shall include the following information for each tank which is fitted for carrying liquids, including damage control voids: A curve showing capacity in gallons for tank filled to any level, plotted against height above bottom of keel amidships. Curves showing vertical, longitudinal, and transverse coordinates of the center of gravity of each tank for the tank filled to any level. These curves shall all be plotted against height above bottom of keel amidships. A curve showing the transverse moment of inertia of the free surface about its own neutral axis, for the tank filled to any level. This curve shall be plotted against height above bottom of keel amidships. Notes on the curves shall indicate the capacity of each tank at 100 percent full and, in addition, the capacity at 95 percent full for oil tanks. Notes indicating the heights of the low point and top of the tank above the bottom of the keel amidships. Booklet of tank sounding tables. The booklet consists of a title page, revision page, an index page, a summary page, and pages tabulating capacities, centers of gravity, and moments of inertia for each tank arranged for carrying liquids. Figures entered as total capacities for oil tanks shall be the capacities of the tanks when 95 percent full. The tables shall be prepared in booklet form with a page size of 8 1/2 by 11 inches. The NAVSEA drawing number and the ship identification number shall appear on each individually numbered page, as well as on the title block of the main tracing. The title page shall have the title Tank Sounding Tables. The index page shall list all tanks with corresponding page numbers whereon pertinent data may be found. The summary page shall include a tabulation for each type of liquid, showing total capacity (in gallons) of individual tanks and total capacity for each type of liquid. For each tank fitted with a sounding tube, the sounding tables shall consist of two parts: (1) a page listing tank capacities in gallons for each inch of sounding, and (2) a page listing moments of inertia and the vertical, longitudinal, and transverse coordinates of the centers of gravity for at least each 6 inches of sounding. The heading of each page shall list the compartment number, type of liquid, and location of tank by frames. Capacity tables. The capacity tables that are incorporated into the booklet of tank sounding shall have the following format: Vertical columns from left to right with headings reading Sounding in Feet, and the remaining columns numbered 0 to 11, inclusive, and subheaded Sounding in Inches. In the left-hand column, a tabulation listing from top to bottom, each foot of sounding from zero to maximum reading. Capacities in gallons shall be entered in the proper spaces so that for any given foot and inch of sounding the capacity can be obtained. The following information shall be noted on each page: Sounding and capacity when the tank is full. Sounding and capacity when the tank is 95 percent full (oil tanks only). Amount of liquid remaining in each tank when the lowest point of suction has been reached. The total length of each sounding tube from the upper terminal to the striker plate. Height of the lowest point of the tank above the bottom of the keel amidships. Height of the striker plate above the lowest point of the tank. Top of tank or high point in tank Correction to capacities for trim. If either of the following two conditions exist, two additional tank sounding tables corrected for trim shall be included, one for 100 percent of the expected operating trim and another for 150 percent (corrected to the nearest foot of trim): If tank length is at least 10 percent of the length of the ship between perpendiculars. If expected operating trim of the ship is at least 0.8 percent of the length of the ship between perpendiculars. The additional tables shall be similar to the tables for zero trim and shall include vertical, longitudinal, and transverse centers of gravity and transverse moments of inertia as well as tank capacities, all corrected for trim. The moment of inertia tables shall include additional entries, as necessary, to describe any irregularities in the moment of inertia curve. For cargo tanks of oilers where the ullage openings are near the fore-and-aft center of the tanks, and change in trim would not materially affect even keel ullages, corrections to capacities for trim are not required. When calculating capacities due to change in trim, deductions for obstructions such as structure and piping need not be considered since the error will be negligible considering the entire contents of the tank. Center of gravity and moment of inertia tables. The center of gravity and moment of inertia tables shall contain the following information: The vertical, longitudinal, and transverse coordinates of the center of gravity of the liquid and the transverse moment of inertia of the free surface for at least each 6 inches of sounding.

Additional entries, as necessary, shall be added to the moment of inertia column to describe any irregularities, such as break points, of the moment of inertia curve. The number of additional entries shall be sufficient to allow straight line interpolation between entries without significant error. The soundings for these additional entries shall be entered in their proper numerical position in the soundings column, the center of gravity columns shall be left blank, and the value of the moment of inertia entered in its column. Notes shall be added giving the values of each function when the tank is full and when 95 percent full (oil tanks only). Vertical centers of gravity shall be referenced to the bottom of the keel amidships. Longitudinal centers of gravity shall be referenced to the same longitudinal reference as used in the curves of form. Transverse centers of gravity shall be referenced to the centerline of the ship. For tanks fitted with trycocks instead of sounding tubes, the capacity, vertical, longitudinal, and transverse centers of gravity, and transverse moment of inertia at level of each cock shall be tabulated instead of the above tabulation for soundings. For cargo tanks having ullage openings, the tabulation shall be arranged to list capacities, centers of gravity, and transverse moments of inertia corresponding to ullage reading as follows: Vertical columns from left to right reading FEET, INCHES, GALLONS, BARRELS, V.C.G., L.C.G., T.C.G. and MOMENT OF INERTIA. A tabulation in the first two columns listing from top to bottom in correct numerical order, zero ullage, each subsequent even 6 inches of ullage, ullage at 95 percent capacity (oil tanks only), and maximum ullage. Should the ullage opening not be located in the expansion hatch, full tank capacity shall also be listed in the tabulation and a footnote stating differences in height and location between the ullage opening and expansion hatch noted. Additional entries, as necessary, shall be added to the moment of inertia column to describe any irregularities, such as break points, of the moment of inertia curve. The number of additional entries shall be sufficient to allow straight line interpolation between entries without significant error. The ullages for these additional entries shall be entered in their proper numerical position in the ullage columns, the capacity and center of gravity columns shall be left blank, and the value of the moment of inertia entered in its column. A note shall be added giving the amount of liquid remaining in each tank when the lowest point of suction has been reached. Each sheet shall be titled ULLAGES and shall list the name of the tank, compartment number, and location of tank by frames. 085n. Selected Record Drawings General. Selected record drawings shall be prepared in accordance with the Design Services Allocation Manual for each ship. Each drawing shall show the official hull number of that ship only. Separate NAVSEA drawing numbers shall be assigned to each drawing for each ship. Drawings designated as Selected Record Drawings are contained in NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. Numbering and indexing of selected record drawings - Each Selected Record Drawing will have a unique NAVSEA Number. Selected Record Drawings shall be indexed and referred to in correspondence by NAVSEA/NAVSHIPS drawing numbers. No additional local numbers are to be added to these drawings. Superseding existing drawings - When existing drawings applicable to a ship are superseded by new drawings or are no longer applicable to the ship, the listing of the canceled or superseded drawing in the Ship's Drawing Index (SDI) shall be lined out, but not obliterated or rendered illegible. The new drawing will be annotated to indicate the drawing(s) which it cancels or supersedes, as required by applicable directives governing the preparation of drawings. When SDIs are in ADP format, superseded/canceled drawings are placed in one section at the end of the SDI. New drawings - When alterations have been accomplished that would normally require correction of Selected Record Drawings, but where these drawings have not been previously prepared, the following procedures shall be adhered to: (1) Where only a class drawing exists, a reproducible copy is to be made from the class drawing and corrected to reflect the specific hull configuration (Class Docking Drawings excepted). This drawing will be assigned a new NAVSEA drawing number and designated as the Selected Record Drawing applicable only to the subject ship. (2) When a specific Selected Record Drawing does not exist, or when such drawings are missing or were never provided by the Planning Yard or the ship, a new original drawing is to be prepared by the Overhaul Yard (Class Docking Drawing excepted). (3) Whenever the original of a Selected Record Drawing, because of age, extensive corrections or other reason deteriorates so that legible prints cannot be made, a new drawing must be prepared retaining the same NAVSEA Number. Approval and marking - Selected record drawings shall be examined and approved by the overhaul supervisor. The drawings shall be stamped or marked ‘SELECTED RECORD DRAWINGS” adjacent to the title block. As each selected record drawing is completed, a note shall be placed on the drawing to indicate that the drawing has been checked for incorporation of all outstanding changes and those changes have been shipchecked and the drawing corrected to show conditions actually existing on the ship to the following extent: Schematics and diagrams shall be correct. Component or equipment identification shall be correct. Physical layouts shall be correct to the precision required for such a drawing. Preparation - Ship's Selected Record Drawings and drawing booklets shall be hand-inked or photographically reproduced on 4 mil polyester film with plastic lead original.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 086 TECHNICAL PUBLICATIONS AND SHIP SELECTED RECORDS 086a. Scope Ship Selected Records (SSR) comprise hull level system technical documentation, which is maintained current throughout the life of the ship. SSRs consist of three major categories: Selected Record Drawings (Section 085), Selected Record Data, and Allowance Lists (Section 083). Each of these major SSR categories contain information of significant value to ships operations, maintenance, training and logistics requirements. Additions and deletions to the SSR listed herein can only be made with the approval of CNO. Recommendations for additions or deletions to the SSR listings shall be submitted to CNO via NAVSEA. Upon approval by CNO, NAVSEA will promulgate appropriate changes. Technical Publications (Manuals) comprise system and equipment level documentation which is maintained current throughout the life of the equipment. This Section and NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 provide the general specifications to which the publications and records will be maintained during the life cycle of the ship or equipment. HM&E Technical Manuals, for other than hull level Selected Record Data (SRD) Manuals, are maintained as directed by the equipment life cycle manager or the Technical Manual Management Activity (TMMA) for a particular equipment. 086b. Definitions Camera Ready Copy (CRC) - The original master art work, drawings, and typed pages of the technical publications. Deferred ordering - Deferred ordering refers to deferring the ordering of technical data or computer software generated in the performance of the contract until such time as a need can be established and the requirements can be specifically identified for delivery under contract. Microfiche - A sheet of film containing multiple micro-images in a grid pattern. It usually contains a heading or title which can be read without magnifications. Publication - A publication is any book, pamphlet, manual, or microfilm thereof manufactured by any method of printing, duplicating, or reproduction, regardless of content, format, quality, distribution or intended end use. Selected Record Data (SRD) - A group of technical manuals, tables, charts, drawing indices, damage control books, and other data (excluding drawings, see Section 085), specifically selected for their reference value for operational, maintenance, training, and consulting purposes to ship's force, fleet commands, shipyard personnel, training centers, and other naval activities, and maintained current throughout the life of the ship. Technical manual - A technical manual is a publication or any other form of documentation pertaining to defense material with descriptions and instructions for effective use. It will normally include operational instructions, maintenance instructions, parts lists or illustrated parts breakdown, (IPB), and related technical information or procedures, exclusive of administrative procedures. Other categories of technical publications may be classified as technical manuals as determined by the Government. Selected Record Drawings - Consist of important basic hull, mechanical, or electrical equipment, and related information about the ship and are selected for their value for operational, maintenance, training and consulting purposes to individual ship's forces, fleet commands, shipyard personnel, training centers, and other naval activities. Technical Manual Contract Requirement (TMCR) - A TMCR is a definitive contract document that provides the Contract Data Requirements List (DD Form 1423), and associated Data Item Descriptions, specific requirements and direction for preparation and delivery of technical manual data items being procured from a Contractor. The TMCR facilitates tailoring technical manual requirements to the particular hardware or software being procured by consolidating such requirements into a single document. The specifications for procuring the technical manual are contained in NAVSEA S0701-AA-GYD-010/M-SPECS for TMCR's and Section 800 herein. Technical Manual Identification Number (TMIN) - TMIN is a Navy-assigned computer-compatible number in accordance with NAVMAT M000-00-IDX-000/TMINS that classifies a technical manual (including changes and revisions) according to subject or commodity and provides a unique identification for all separately bound publications. It is used to track the manual throughout the technical management system. The assigned TMIN may be composed of either one or two distinct parts. The first part is a basic number that identifies the cognizant Systems Command, general classification of subject matter or commodity, type of manual, specific manual or separately-bound part, and the issue category. The second part provides security information for classified manuals, and amplifying user-oriented information, such as equipment designation, applicable hull numbers, and originating code. Validation- Validation is the process by which the Contractor (or as otherwise directed by the Government) tests a technical manual for technical accuracy and adequacy by actual performance of the instructions contained in the technical manual. It is conducted at a Contractor's facility or at an operational site, and entails the actual performance of operational and maintenance procedures (including

Section 086

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

checkout, calibration, alignment, scheduled removal and replacement instructions and associated checklists) on the equipment/system for which the manual was written to ensure completeness, technical accuracy, and adequacy. Disassembly and reassembly or unscheduled parts removal and replacement procedures are validated by actual performance, or by simulation when actual performance would damage equipment, be non-cost effective, or impractical to perform. Verification - Verification is the process by which a technical manual is tested and proved by the Government to be adequate for operation and maintenance of the equipment systems procured for operational units. Verification is conducted by user personnel and consists of actual performance of selected operating and maintenance procedures and associated checklists which are procedures comparable to the validation process. 086c General The Selected Record Data listed in Section 086g shall be prepared/revised by the Supervisor/Planning Yard. Technical Publications shall be revised, changed or prepared by the overhauling activity in accordance with the related TMCR and NAVSEA S0701-AA-GYD-010/M-SPECS. The format and contents shall deviate as necessary to suit the publication requirements specified herein and in the TMCR. Where Mil. Spec. MIL-M-24100 is specified in the TMCR, Functionally Oriented Maintenance Manual (FOMM) technician manuals shall also be supplied. Technical manuals shall provide detailed instructions for operation and maintenance by personnel who have a ninth grade education supplemented by specialized Navy training. A TMIN shall be obtained from NAVAL SEA DATA SUPPORT ACTIVITY (NSDSA), Port Hueneme, CA and shown on each NAVSEA-cognizant technical publication and permanent change or revision (including commercial manuals). When tasked to a Contractor, the Contractor shall request the assignment of TMIN's via the Supervisor to NSDSA. Contractor prepared technical publications, permanent changes, and revisions thereto shall be validated in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-M-85337 prior to submittal of review copies to the Shipyard/Supervisor. A Validation Certificate, form NAVSEA 5600/4, shall be submitted certifying that the validation has been completed and the technical publications are complete and accurate. Changes or revisions resulting from the Supervisor reviews shall be incorporated and validated by the Contractor. Validation of previously approved and issued manuals is not required; such manuals shall be examined, however, to ascertain that they remain applicable to the subject equipment or system for which supplied, and if not, the correct manual or necessary changes, revisions, or supplements shall be supplied. The Contractor shall correct all deficiencies noted during the verification process and submit revised copies to the Supervisor for review. Camera-Ready Copy (CRC) for approved and validated final technical publications, permanent changes, and revisions shall be prepared in accordance with the TMCR and any specification requirements. The CRC shall be compatible with the microfiche requirements specified in the TMCR. The Supervisor will inspect and review a copy of the new or revised CRC and determine if it is acceptable for printing and micro-publishing. The Supervisor will notify the Contractor if the CRC is acceptable prior to printing. The overhauling Supervisor shall maintain custody of the approved preliminary technical publication throughout the life of the contract, except during periods of printing and micro-filming. The planning yard shall retain all CRC masters of hull level Selected Record Data in accordance with FMP Management and Operations Manual, NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. The printing and binding of the approved and validated final CRC publications shall be accomplished through Navy Publishing and Printing Service Office (NPPSO). Printing of publications, permanent changes, or revisions by the Contractor is prohibited unless publications are produced by suppliers and regularly carried as stock items for commercial sale or military use, require no significant modifications, and are normally supplied with the equipment.

Selected Record Data Selected Record Data is that important basic technical information relative to certain shipboard arrangements, equipment, and systems under the cognizance of NAVSEA that is selected for its value for operational, maintenance, training, and consulting purposes, to an individual ship's force, fleet commands, Planning Yards, Overhaul Yards, training commands, and other naval activities. The data items designated as Selected Record Data are to be maintained current and up-to-date throughout the life of the ship concerned. For ships undergoing overhaul, existing SRD shall be revised to reflect overhaul conditions. If one or more of the listed SRD do not currently exist for a ship, new publications shall be prepared only when specifically authorized by NAVSEA SLM. The FMP Management and Operations Manual, NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010 contains a listing of data currently designated as Selected Record Data. Recommendations for additions or deletions to the List of Selected Record Data shall be submitted to CNO via NAVSEA. Upon approval by CNO, NAVSEA will promulgate a change to the DSA manual. Requirements for Updating Selected Record Data - The requirements of individual Shipyard/Supervisor relative to maintaining and updating Selected Record Data are addressed in NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. The Forces Afloat responsibilities relative to maintaining and updating Selected Record Data are addressed in NAVSEA SL720-AA-MAN-010. Reference NAVSEA Inst. 4160.3 provides NAVSEA policy for the maintenance of NAVSEA Technical manuals. Specific requirements for Selected Record Data are detailed below: Numbering of Selected Record Data. NAVSEA Technical Manual numbers, revision numbers and change numbers, as applicable, are to be utilized in accordance with NAVMAT M0000-00-IDX-000/TMINS for Selected Record Data. NAVSEA numbers may be obtained from Naval Sea Data Support Activity(Code 5700), Port Hueneme, CA 93043. Each volume of a multivolume document is to be considered as an individual document and numbered accordingly. A unique NAVSEA number will be assigned, on an individual basis, to each Selected Record Data item. Updating Existing Selected Record Data. Overhaul Supervisor is required to update only that data which is directly affected by the overhaul, data identified by ship's force as requiring updating when submitted in pre-overhaul package or during overhaul and to incorporate all changes required to interface with other update actions. As required between overhauls, Planning Yards will update data masters when data is forwarded by NSDSA. Tabular data are to be updated as required. Illustrations are to be updated by overlay or replacement and limited to one text page. Plate diagrams are to be updated as required. A change is comprised of corrected pages to the basic manual. It consists of information that updates the manual without requiring rewriting or reorganization of the technical content of the basic manual. Changes are to be issued when less than 25 percent of the pages in the document are affected. All changes require TMINS numbers assigned by NSDSA Code 5700. A revision is a subsequent edition of a document which supersedes the preceding edition. A revision shall be issued when more than 25 percent of the pages contained in a document have been changed. A revision shall incorporate all existing changes, and is identified by the TMINS number obtained from the NSDSA. New Selected Record Data.

(1) Unless otherwise authorized, where only a class data item exists, the data item will be corrected to reflect specific ship conditions. The data item will be assigned a unique NAVSEA number and designated as the Selected Record Data applicable to subject ship only. Acquisition of the new data item shall be in accordance with applicable NAVSEA instruction. (2) When a specific Selected Record Data item does not exist, or when such data are missing and not available from the Planning Yard, or ship, a new original data item is to be prepared (Type I Technical Manuals excepted) by the Overhaul Yard. (3) Whenever the original of a Selected Record Data item (less Type I Technical Manual), because of age, extensive correction, or other reasons, deteriorates, so that legible prints cannot be made, a new data item must be prepared retaining the same NAVSEA number. Problems with Type I Technical Manual originals will be processed in accordance with NAVSEA instruction 4160.3. 086h. Selected Record Data Characteristics. (The following paragraphs describe specific Selected Record Data items together with their general updating requirements.) Ship Information Book (SIB) and General Information Books, (GIB). The SIB and its older counterpart, the GIB, provide a source of technical information concerning shipboard arrangements and systems. Updating SIBs/GIBs. SIB and GIB will be updated after the availability during which alterations are accomplished which affect the system, functions, or procedures therein, in accordance with the following guidelines: 1. In the event that equal or better information is readily available onboard ship in other Selected Record Drawings, Selected Record Data, or publications, the information should not be duplicated in the SIB/GIB. Instead, the SIB/GIB should simply be annotated to indicate that a change has been accomplished, and reference the source of updated information. 2. A shipcheck may be required to verify accuracy of the SIB/GIB following work performed by an Overhaul Activity. SIB/GIB for Surface Ships. The SIB for surface ships will normally consist of the following separately bound volumes or portions of volumes. Only those volumes of a ship's SIB/GIB currently provided will be updated as Selected Record Data. No volume of a SIB is to be added or deleted except by direction of NAVSEA. (1) (2)

The Naval Ship's Technical Manual (NSTM) S9086-CN-STM-020 CN-079/V2 requires the ship's force to mark up the damage control book and set of diagrams to reflect corrections and modifications made between overhauls and submit the book and diagrams to the overhauling activity at the start of the overhaul. The overhauling activity shall revise the damage control book and diagrams in accordance with MIL-STD-784B to reflect modifications made during the overhaul. The overhauling activity shall distribute the revised material in accordance with the Fleet Modernization Program (FMP) Management and Operations Manual SL 720-AA-MAN-010. Technical Manuals (TM) - Technical Manuals separately describe equipment. Type I manuals are normally required for electrical and mechanical equipment. Type II manuals are required for electronic and IC equipment. Type III manuals are normally required for systems. While technical manuals are important items of documentation, not all such manuals are considered as Ships Selected Records (SSR). Only those technical manuals specifically identified in Chapter 10 of the DSA manual fall within the category of documentation specified as SSR. Unless otherwise directed by NAVSEA, only those technical manuals identified as SSR will be routinely updated under DSA funding. Manuals to be updated will be identified in NAVSEA authorization letters. Activities concerned should review NAVSEA authorization letters and advise NAVSEA of manuals meeting the criteria identified in Chapter 10 of the DSA manual believed to require updating because of actual or planned accomplishment of SHIPALTS and not specifically identified for updating. When, at any time, a Type I technical manual is known or suspected to be deficient, the deficiencies should be immediately brought to the attention of NSDSA for initiation of corrective action.

Technical manuals will be prepared and updated in accordance with the requirements of MIL-SPEC used for original preparation. Publications Applicability List (PAL) - The PAL (formerly ITM) is issued by NSDSA (Code 5H00) each six months to active ships, technical libraries and training activities, and upon request to requestors. The PAL is configured in four volumes: Volume 1. General publications (electronics, safety, transportation, Naval Ships Technical Manual (NSTM), etc.). Selected Record Data technical manuals are highlighted with an asterisk. Volume 2. Electronic equipment and electronic test equipment publications. Volume 3. Hull, Mechanical and Electrical (HM&E) equipment publications. Volume 4. Ordnance systems and equipment publications. Overhauling shipyards/SUPSHIPS/ILO teams in accordance with NAVSEA INST. 4700.8 are responsible for marking-up existing PALs, marking all configuration and technical documentation deficiencies observed and changes (adds or deletes) made during the overhaul. The marked up PAL will be forwarded to NSDSA by the ILO team. Code 5H00 (NSDSA) will issue an updated PAL four weeks after completion of overhaul. Review and update may be performed on hardcopy or by microfiche reproduction. The PAL will be marked up to indicate clearly which manuals are Selected Record Data by the Planning Yard prior to providing to the Overhaul Yard for the next scheduled overhaul or availability. Ship's Drawing Index (SDI) - The SDI is a list of ship's drawing and related design reference information compiled and recorded on NAVSHIPS forms 9020/17 and 9020/19. SDI's or portions thereof prepared in ADP format are to be considered as part of the master SDI. A Modified SDI (MSDI) has been supplied to some ships not originally intended to receive a standard SDI. The MSDI lists only the title, NAVSEA drawing and numbers of applicable drawings revisions. For the purpose of this manual, the terms SDI and MSDI are synonymous. Contents and preparation - Ship construction drawings, and ship equipment drawings designated as certification data sheets, equipment drawing lists, and assembly drawings which list detail drawings, shall be included in the SDI. All ships selected record drawings shall be annotated in the SDI with an asterisk. One tabulating card or magnetic tape or both, shall be prepared for each drawing applicable to the ship for which the SDI is being prepared. The overhaul Supervisor shall maintain the SDI tabulating cards/magnetic tape up to date throughout availability of the ship. The cards shall be maintained in numerical sequence according to their functional 3-digit SWBS number (or BSCI for ships constructed prior to 1970.) This sequence shall then be used for printing the tabular listing. The quality assurance provisions of Mil. Specs. MIL-M-38761 and MIL-M-38761/2 apply. In the event the Government inspects the cards/magnetic tape and they do not meet those provisions, the cards will be returned to the original activity who shall recheck the cards, eliminate all discrepancies, and resubmit. The Government will supply the raw data necessary to develop those portions of the SDI covering GFM in accordance with schedule of Government-furnished information. The ship drawing schedule required by Section 042 shall provide cross check data of this document. Revisions shall indicate additions, deletions, and corrections to the preceding issue. The SDI tabulating cards or magnetic tape, or both, shall be completed as soon as practicable, but in no case later than 30 days prior to the end of the guarantee period. A copy of the SDI shall be maintained to indicate the status of the drawings (microfilmed aperture cards) of the ship. The completed SDI shall indicate those drawings issued for the overhauled ship. (1) SDI-Content - The SDI is a listing of all drawings applicable to the ship including reactor plant drawings. Working drawings, systems diagrams, Selected Record Drawings having a NAVSEA/NAVSHIPS drawing number assigned, all manufacturing equipment drawings designated as certification data sheets, equipment drawing lists, and assembly drawings which list detail drawings shall be included in the SDI. Alteration drawing numbers, Ships Alteration (SHIPALT) number, NAVSEA/NAVSHIPS drawing numbers of drawings used to prove systems or equipment, or both, installed or otherwise affected by the overhaul, will be included. Alteration drawings will not be listed until after the alteration has been accomplished. (2) Updating the SDI - The original SDI is to be corrected to reflect changes resulting from alterations accomplished, changes reported by the ship or other activities when such changes are made between regular overhauls, and changes otherwise uncovered during the availability. Since the SDI is the sole source of identification of all drawings applicable to a ship, the overhaul yard will ensure that all applicable drawings are included in the SDI. Corrections may be made by typewritten mark-up of original SDI pages or appropriate correction to SDIs in ADP format, or both. Ships, or other activities updating the SDI during an availability, other than a regular overhaul, will mark up the appropriate page(s) of the ship's SDI. The marked-up "Ship's Master Copy" of the SDI will be forwarded, with other SSR items, if applicable, to the Planning Yard with a request for correction and appropriate distribution. Particular attention shall be directed to ensuring the accomplishment and verification of SDI corrections required as a result of equipment and configuration changes accomplished during restricted availabilities, tender availabilities and voyage repairs. The updated SDI will be returned to the ship within sixty days of completion of overhaul.

A notation will be made at the bottom of each page which has been revised, indicating the revision number and date of revision. Each page of the original SDI shall be stamped "ORIGINAL (APPLIED TO SHEETS STAMPED IN GREEN INK)". The SDI will be marked up to clearly indicate which drawings are Selected Record Drawings. SDIs that have not been marked up in the above manner are to be appropriately annotated by Planning Yard prior to providing to overhaul activity for next scheduled availability. (4) Superseding or Modifying Existing Drawings in the SDI - When existing drawings applicable to a ship are superseded by new drawings, or are no longer applicable to the ship, the listing of the cancelled or superseded drawing should be lined out, but not obliterated or rendered illegible. The number of superseding drawings should be entered in the last column of the SDI, in line with the lined out or superseded drawing. When existing drawings applicable to a ship are modified by new drawings, the new drawings shall be listed in the last column in the SDI in line with the modified existing drawings. (5) Conversion and Update of SDIs to ADP Format - For those ships having SDI in ADP format, the Planning Yard will provide a copy of the SDI in ADP format (usually magnetic tape) to the overhaul yard for correction to reflect changes required to the SDI resulting from work accomplished during the overhaul, and changes previously accomplished and identified by ship's force. After completion of overhaul, the corrected SDI in ADP format will be returned to the Planning Yard. Between overhauls the Planning Yard will correct the SDI in ADP format to reflect changes reported by the ship or other activities when changes are accomplished between overhauls. The SDI will be formatted in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-M-38761/2. For those ships not having an SDI in ADP format, the Overhaul Yard will, as directed by the NAVSEA SLD, prepare the SDI in ADP format. Upon completion of the overhaul, the Overhaul Yard will transfer the SDI in the new ADP format to the Planning Yard. (6) Combat System Technical Operations Manual (CSTOM) - CSTOM technical manuals will be updated by NSDSA Code 5H00 in response to direct tasking by cognizant NAVSEA program manager.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 092 SHIPBOARD TESTS 092a. Scope This section contains an overview of testing, testing terminology and general requirements for shipboard testing related to overhaul and repair, and supplements testing requirements outlined in other GSO sections herein. Testing requirements applicable to post-overhaul ship trials, both dockside and underway, are specified in Section 094. 092b. Test Programs Testing Overview - Ship tests are onboard demonstrations of satisfactory installation and operation of equipments, subsystems and systems. NAVSEA has developed test and certification (T&C) programs for various surface ship combatant ships. NAVSEA T9093-AB-TRQ-010/SURF COMB (Combat System Test and Certification Manual for Surface Combatant Ships) and NAVSEA 0941-LP-053-6010 (1200 PSI Propulsion Plant Test and Certification Manual) are two T&C programs. When invoked by the Supervisors Work Specification, ship test programs are to be conducted in compliance with the applicable T&C program. The Supervisor's Work Specification shall identify and authorize required testing. Hull, Propulsion and Electrical (HP&E) testing shall be limited to new, modified, or repaired portions of the ship unless specified otherwise in the Supervisor's Work Specification. Should a T&C program be invoked on Hull, Propulsion, and Electrical systems, the extent of testing required for the specific ships availability shall be defined in the Supervisors Work Specification. Should only selected T&C test documents be authorized for accomplishment, the Supervisors Work Specification shall identify which tests are authorized. Section 092c. provides the requirements for testing programs where a formal Test and Certification (T&C) Program has been developed and invoked. Section 092d. provides test program requirements applicable to ship availabilities which have no formal T&C program invoked. 092c. Formal Test and Certification (T&C) Programs Total ship testing is a program to ensure equipment and systems installed, overhauled, repaired, or otherwise disturbed meets performance criteria and to demonstrate that the ship is capable of fulfilling its mission requirements. Industrial testing is conducted by using stages of testing for the progressive validation of the proper installation and performance of equipment and systems. These stages are: Stage 1 - Material Receipt Inspection/Shop Tests Stage 2 - Shipboard Installation Inspection & Tests Stage 3 - Equipment Level Operational Tests Stage 4 - Intrasystem Tests Stage 5 - Intersystem Tests Stage 6 - Special Tests Stage 7 - Dock Trials/Sea Trials Total ship testing normally proceeds from the lower stages to the higher stages with each successive stage providing verification of progressively larger systems, leading to a determination of the operational and material readiness at sea of the total ship. Stage 1 and 2 inspections and tests are quality assurance events conducted to ensure proper receipt, bench testing, and installation and are normally performed by Contractor or installation personnel. Stage 3 testing is post-installation testing to demonstrate that individual equipment meets operational parameters and performs within specified tolerances after installation. Stage 4 tests demonstrate the operation and proper alignment of one independent system. Stage 5 demonstrates operations between two or more independent systems or subelements. Stage 5 and below tests may also be assigned Stage 7 test numbers and may be conducted during trials in conjunction with or as a part of Stage 7 testing. Stage 6 tests are those which require special facilities or resources. Stage 7 tests are those which must be conducted during dock trials or sea trials. Test Task Group (TTG) - A TTG comprised of Government, Contractor and ship's force representatives shall be established for each ship overhaul to provide a vehicle for coordinating the test program between the Government and the Contractor. The Supervisor's member will chair the group. The TTG's function is to augment the technical expertise of the Supervisor and the Contractor, especially with regard to identifying and resolving test problems. The Contractor, as a member of the TTG, shall participate in the review, evaluation and resolution of problems associated with the implementation of the test program. Test Program Management - The Contractor shall coordinate the implementation of the total test program, including test conduct responsibilities assigned ship's force and other Government test teams. The Contractor shall ensure, through the Test Task Group, that the

The ITPD will include a test index, the source of available test procedures, test conduct responsibilities, required certifications, testing man-hour estimates and test sequence networks. The Contractor shall update the test index to keep it current. Integrated Test Package (ITP) - The total ship ITP shall be prepared by the Contractor and approved by the Supervisor. The ITP provides detailed testing procedures required to conduct testing of combat systems, combat support systems and propulsion systems and, when so directed at the Work Definition Conference (WDC), auxiliary systems and other support systems. The total ship ITP is developed utilizing the Government-furnished combat systems test package, Government-furnished test procedures for combat support and propulsion plant systems and Contractor-prepared test procedures for all testing required by the ships work specifications in the ITPD. The ITP shall consist of the test index, the test sequence networks and detailed test procedures for each test. Test Procedure (TP) - A TP will provide detailed descriptions of the test operations to be performed and the pass/fail criteria of each operation. Each test procedure shall include data sheets with spaces provided for recording the quantitative values when conducting the test. The TP shall also include required procedures for safety of personnel and equipment. The test procedure content shall be in accordance with the Test and Certification Manual, NAVSEA T9093-AB-TRQ-010/SURF COMB. Test procedures will be prepared by the Government or the Contractor as determined at the WDC. Test procedures included in the ITP shall be based on testing requirements delineated in the ITPD, in appropriate sections of these specifications, in the ships work specifications and in applicable technical manuals of the equipment and systems. For minor combatants and auxiliary ships that do not require an ITPD or ITP, test procedures shall be based on testing requirements that are included in these specifications, in the ships work specifications and in applicable technical manuals. Test Index (TI) - The test index as a minimum, provides a complete list by test numbers and title of all Stage 2 through 7 shipboard tests. It indicates those tests for which test procedures are to be furnished by the Government and those to be furnished by the Contractor. If a formal T&C program has been invoked, the TI shall provide a listing of all shipboard tests, including those for HP&E systems that do not directly support combat systems, and test procedures to be used for conducting the tests shall be prepared for the seven stages of testing as defined in paragraph 092c. Test Sequence Network (TSN) - A TSN is a flow chart of the sequential order in which the tests should be performed. Test interdependence will be shown by indicating tests which are prerequisites to others. TSNs will not show absolute dates or test time requirements, only test relationships. Test Schedule - The Contractor shall prepare an integrated test schedule. The schedule shall include all tests to be performed by the Contractor, ship's force and the Government as part of the overhaul, including those to be conducted during post-overhaul trials. The test schedule shall reflect the planned start and completion date of each test as well as the activity responsible for conducting the tests. The sequencing of tests shall be related to specific milestones such as docking, undocking, light off, dock trials, fast cruise (if applicable), sea trials and completion of the overhaul. Test Problem Reports (TPRs) - A TPR shall be used to document each discrepancy and problem that occurs during testing. A reportable problem exist when any portion of a test procedure cannot be satisfactorily completed as scheduled because of procedural discrepancies, tolerance deviations, design limitations, equipment or computer program characteristics, or hardware discrepancies. When a problem is identified during a test, the test conductor shall submit a TPR via the Contractor to the Supervisor. The test conductor shall also investigate the problem and recommend corrective action. The TPR shall include a problem description, an assessment of problem impact, and a proposed resolution. Where the Supervisor's Work Specification permits, the proposed resolution may be implemented on an interim basis pending final resolution of the problem.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 094 POST-OVERHAUL SHIP TRIALS 094a. Scope This section contains requirements for ship trials conducted subsequent to overhaul. Trials are operational tests conducted dockside and underway to demonstrate that systems and equipment are in conformity with the Contract, applicable plans and specifications. Test requirements contained herein supplement the general requirements for shipboard testing (Section 092) and specific test requirements for trials contained in other sections of these specifications. 094b. General Requirements The planning for and conduct of post-overhaul ship trials is a coordinated effort between ship’s force, the Contractor and the Supervisor. The ship's force is responsible for the scheduling of the various trials and for conducting tests during trials. The ship's force is responsible for equipment operation during testing and for conducting the trials in accordance with NSTM S9086-CH-STM-000/CH094 and type commander directives (i.e., COMNAVSURFPACINST 4700.1 and COMNAVSURFLANTINST 9000.1). The Contractor, in coordination with ship's force and the Supervisor's representatives, shall prepare the test schedule and the agenda. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring all test procedures are onboard for sea trials and shall be responsible for recording test data and submitting test and certification reports. The Supervisor is responsible for the administration of post-overhaul trials and final acceptance of the completed work. A trial agenda shall be prepared for sea trials. The trial agenda details the Contractors plans for completing the requirements of trials. A trial agenda consists of a chronological list of administrative events, inspection events and test events. Events shall be arranged to permit expeditious conduct with minimum interference between concurrent events. Mutually compatible events may be scheduled simultaneously. If any part of the ship or its equipment fails to meet contractual requirements during trials, additional trials may be conducted after corrective measures have been taken. Where scheduled sea trial’s time is not sufficient to demonstrate performance, those incompleted portions may be rescheduled. The number and scope of such additional trials shall be as directed by the Supervisor. Representatives of manufacturers who have furnished ship components may be invited to witness trials subject to approval of the Commanding Officer of the ship. 094c. Conduct of Trials There are four ship trial events required - dock trials, fast cruise, machinery and full power sea trials, and combat systems sea trials. Machinery and full power trials and combat systems trials may be combined and accomplished during a single at-sea period. Dock Trials - A dock trial shall be conducted to demonstrate to the Supervisor and the Commanding Officer the material readiness of the ship for sea trials. Where possible, all tests shall be completed before the dock trials. Dockside tests are onboard tests conducted after installation and prior to dock trials to prove proper installation and satisfactory operation of equipment. Dock trials are additional tests conducted dockside on all systems and equipment necessary to ensure readiness for proceeding with sea trials. During dock trials, shipyard personnel shall observe tests under their cognizance and make such adjustments and repairs as required; ship's force will retain responsibility for the operation of equipment in support of tests. Fast Cruise - Fast cruise is a one or more day period of dockside training by ship's force. This training will be conducted just prior to underway trials. Ship's force should have operational control of the ship in order to simulate, where practicable, at-sea operating conditions unhampered by overhaul work and shipyard personnel on the ship. Neither the Contractor nor the Supervisor should schedule any trials, tests or other work on the ship during the fast cruise. Sea Trials - Sea trials are the final step in proving the success of the overhaul. Sea trials consist of actual demonstration of machinery, equipment and systems under operational conditions. Multiple sea trials may be required in more extensive overhauls. The Supervisor, the ship's Commanding Officer and the Contractor shall mutually agree that the ship is ready for sea, prior to getting underway for sea trials. The scope of the sea trials shall be based on the extent of the work authorized in the Supervisor's Work Specification. The Supervisor, in conjunction with the Commanding Officer, will determine the type and extent of the tests and trials. The agenda shall identify installation of any test equipment or component modification that could impact the normal operation of equipment or systems in carrying out the agenda. The agenda shall also identify any operating instructions or special tests which have been invoked which could impact the normal operations of equipment or systems. Two copies of trial agendas should be provided to NAVSEA for information only.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 100 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR HULL STRUCTURE 100a. Scope This section contains requirements for inspections, repair, modifications, and alterations to the hull structure. 100b. Design General - The Contractor shall assure that the scantlings depicted on the structural drawings are adequate for the intended purpose. Compliance with such drawings or subsequent approval of changes made by the Contractor does not relieve the Contractor from making the necessary structural calculations, preparing an adequate structural design, and building an adequate ship structure in accordance with the design criteria given herein. Ship structure shall be designed so that when subjected to specified loads, the allowable stresses will not be exceeded, and failure will not occur from a condition of elastic instability. Design Data Sheets DDS100-1, DDS100-2, and DDS100-4 illustrate acceptable methods of ship structural design. Structure for which loads are not explicitly specified shall be designed to withstand the loads which can reasonably be expected in service. Additional local stiffening, if found necessary, shall be installed to prevent excessive vibration, panting, or springing of plating. Design loads - New or modified, or both, ship structure shall be designed to withstand the following loads: Ship-bending - Ship bending stress values shall be as specified in individual ship specifications. Deck live loads - As specified in individual ship specifications. Dead loads - Weights of structure and equipment. Ship motion - Inertia forces and gravity components resulting from motion of the ship in a seaway. Design load factors are specified in individual ship specifications which shall be used for designing structures to withstand the dynamic forces produced by motion of the ship in a seaway. Sea forces - Static-equivalent heads, representing the effects of wave action on the shell and weather decks. (See Section 070) Wind, ice, and snow loads - Static-equivalent loads representing the effects of wind, ice, or snow, as applicable, on shell, superstructure, masts, and weather decks. (See Section 070) Tank pressures - Hydrostatic heads on tank boundaries, including the effects of filling to overflow. The foregoing design loads, where applicable, shall be combined to produce the most adverse conditions of stress except that when combining with primary hull bending stresses, secondary stresses in tanks shall be determined by using a head to the top of the tank. Structure shall also be designed for the following loadings, considered individually: Flooding - As specified in the original ship specifications, or if no requirement exists, a hydrostatic head, to the damage control deck, on the boundaries of any combination of watertight compartments. Gun blast - A static-equivalent head, in feet of sea water, equal to 450 times the quantity (1 + cos X) squared divided by the quantity (r/D) to the 3/2 power where: r is the radius vector, in inches, from the muzzle of the nearest gun to the point in question; D is the diameter of gun bore in inches; X is the space angle between the radius vector and the axis of the gun barrel. Design Data Sheet DDS 100-7 illustrates acceptable methods for the design of ship structures to resist gun blast. Missile blast - A static-equivalent pressure, in lb/in2 equal to T (sin Y + 0.0225/sin Y)/A where: T is the total thrust of the missile, in pounds; Y is the angle of incidence (ranging from 20 to 90 degrees); A is the area of the surface in question, in square inches, bounded by the blast cone. (The blast cone is generated by rotating, about the missile axis, a line having a 3-degree divergence from the axis and passing through the circumference of the exit nozzle.) Where the impingement area does not extend more than one-half the distance between stiffeners, only two-thirds of the load is assumed to fall on one stiffener in a normal longitudinally framed structure. Plating subjected to missile blast loads shall be designed to the yield strength of the material. Design Data Sheet DDS 100-7 illustrates acceptable methods for the design of ship structures to resist missile blast. Accidental missile ignition - A static-equivalent head, in feet of sea water, equal to 4.5 R/A where: R is the burning rate of the missile booster, in pounds per second;

A is the total area, in square feet, of blowout openings. (Such openings, having hinged covers and vented to the atmosphere, shall be provided for missile magazines, assembly rooms, and check-out areas). Reactor Compartments - Strength requirements for reactor compartment structure, where applicable, shall be as specified in individual ship specifications. Shock loads - Requirements for the design and testing of foundations, and for the design of ship structure in the vicinity of foundations, are as specified in Section 072 and Section 180. Nuclear Blast loading - All exposed structure and equipment above the design waterline shall be designed to withstand the effects of nuclear blast as specified in individual ship specifications. Docking loads - Loads generated when ship is supported on docking blocks. Allowable stresses - Under the design loads, stresses in structural members, excluding bending stresses in individual plating panels shall not exceed the following allowable limits: Tensile and bending stresses - Where there is no danger of failure from instability, allowable limits for the algebraic sums of axial and bending stresses are as listed below. The tabulated nominal yield stresses for welded aluminum alloys may be used to determine column and plating panel strengths. Material

Yield strengths for steel and unwelded aluminum shall be obtained from the applicable material specifications listed in paragraph 100e.

Shear stresses - Where there is no danger of failure from instability, allowable limits for shear stresses are 60 percent of the allowable tensile stresses. Column stresses - Allowable axial stresses on structural members other than plate panels are as follows: Allowable axial stresses on stanchions shall be 60 percent of the column strength given in Design Data Sheet, DDS100-4. Allowable axial stresses on plate stiffener combinations shall be 67 percent of the column strength for members with a slenderness ratio greater than 60, and 80 percent of the column strength for members with a slenderness ratio of 60 or less. For columns designed for tensile loading, allowable stresses shall be as tabulated under allowable stresses in table above. Factors of safety for stanchions shall be in accordance with Section 115. Combined bending and column stresses - The sum of the ratios of calculated stress to allowable stress shall not exceed unity. Plating panels under edge loadings - Compressive stresses shall not exceed 80 percent of the ultimate strength of the plating given by Design Data Sheet DDS100-4 (reduced, as necessary, to suit the slenderness ratio of the plate-stiffener combination). Stress shall not exceed the plate buckling stresses given by Design Data Sheet DDS100-4. The foregoing requirements for combined bending and column stresses and for edge loading of plating are applicable primarily to panels of plating loaded on the short edges and bounded by light stiffeners. For plating loaded on the long edge, such as for a transversely framed ship, the following requirements apply:

Section 100

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

The bending stress in the plate panels resulting from local loads plus the stress from hull bending or other axial loads shall not exceed the yield strength of the material. The calculated compressive stress in a plate panel resulting from hull bending or other axial loads shall not exceed 80 percent of the critical buckling stress given by DDS100-4. Bending stresses from local loads shall not be combined with hull bending compressive stress for this condition. Design of flat plating under normal loadings - Panels of plating shall be proportioned so as not to exceed the breadth-thickness ratios indicated by b/t = C/(K times the square root of H) where: b is the breadth of plating panel (shorter side) in inches; t is the thickness in inches; H is the head (sea water) in feet; C and K are as given in Table I. 100c. Structural Arrangement and Details Structure contributing to the longitudinal strength of the ship shall be continuous through transverse structure. Wherever practicable, structure shall be aligned so that advantage can be taken of continuity in the design. Changes in thicknesses of plating or scantlings of longitudinal stiffeners and highly stressed transverse members shall be gradual. Endings of longitudinal members and highly stressed transverse members shall be arranged to maintain continuity of strength and to minimize stress concentrations. Bulwarks, fashion plates, and terminal connections of longitudinal structure shall taper at the ends and shall terminate on frames or headers. Whenever practicable, beam ends shall land on other structural framing members. When beam ends must land on unsupported plating, they shall be modified to prevent puncturing of the plating by end rotation. Means of accomplishing this shall include installing headers, landing the beam end on a pad, or terminating the stiffener end 1 inch from the plating and sniping the web and flange 60 degrees. Stiffeners 6 inches deep and smaller may land on plate 30.6 lb/ft2 and heavier without modification. Where a structural bulkhead or deckhouse side crosses a structural bulkhead, deckhouse side, web frame, or deep girder below that deck, forming a knife edge support, chocks shall be fitted to the under member in the plane of the crossing bulkhead to distribute the load. Where the bulkhead above or below has a stiffener in the plane of the crossing member, chocks need not be fitted, provided the stiffener is not sniped. Innerbottom plating shall be continuous through all transverse structure. Strength members which are subjected to high tensile stresses shall be designed so that dependence is not placed on the strength of the metal normal to its plane of rolling. Where this is impracticable, through connections or other means shall be provided to minimize the possibility of failure due to plate laminations. Tee-sections used as beams or bulkhead stiffeners must be proportioned, and laterally supported if necessary, to prevent lateral buckling or laying over of the flange. Lightweight stiffeners on structure of secondary structural importance need not be stabilized. Typical details for stiffener end brackets and lateral supports shall be in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 805-2878699. Where an I-T is specified on the structural drawings, a tee having substantially equal weight and section modulus may be used. Reinforcing of beams and girders shall be installed as necessary to distribute high local loads or to prevent buckling. Bulkheads and decks shall be reinforced as required to support fittings subject to severe conditions, such as boarding sea, and gun or missile blast. When securing nonstructural bulkheads and fittings to structure subject to high transient loads such as gun blast, missile blast, and helicopter landing, the attachment shall allow relative movement of the structure of plus or minus 2 inches without stressing the nonstructural member or fitting. Structure and fittings in way of main and auxiliary machinery shall be arranged to provide sufficient clearance for disassembling parts of such machinery without dismantling other machinery, structure, or piping. Recesses which would not be readily accessible for cleaning shall be avoided. In topside structure, pockets in which radioactive material (fallout) or water may collect shall be kept to a minimum. Portions of decks and bulkheads which will be temporarily omitted or removed to facilitate shipping or unshipping certain items of machinery or equipment shall be constructed so that the least disturbance to adjacent structure will result. See Sect. 071. Flush or lapped collars shall be used around continuous members that pass through members in watertight, airtight, or oiltight structure. Details for flush and lapped collars and collars in nontight members shall be in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 805-2460264. Openings - Openings in the principal longitudinal strength members of the hull, such as upper strength deck, shell, inner bottom, and longitudinal bulkheads, shall be well separated and not aligned in a transverse plane. Where openings of necessity are close together, they shall be combined to form a single opening. In general, holes in structure shall be circular. Where a circular opening is not practicable, corners of openings in the following areas shall be rounded to radii of at least 1/8 of the clear dimension normal to the direction of the principal stress:

Principal longitudinal strength structure. Regions of high shear stress. In way of ends of deckhouses and other large changes of structural rigidity. Superstructure sides and decks immediately above main hull girder if over 50 feet long or not separated by expansion joints. Openings in structure of secondary importance, such as platforms and superstructure areas not mentioned above, shall have radius at the corners of at least 1/8 of the minor dimension of the opening. If the size or location of an opening impairs the strength of an important structural member, it shall be reinforced. Openings in longitudinal strength structure and main transverse bulkheads shall be considered to be of this type, except that in general, protective plating which forms a part of the longitudinal strength structure need not be reinforced to reduce the stress intensity in way of the opening. Reinforcing rings or bars shall be used wherever possible. Design Data Sheet DDS100-1 shows an acceptable method for selecting reinforcing rings. Where reinforcing rings or bars cannot be used, insert plates shall be provided. Lightening holes - In general, webs of deck beams and girders, longitudinal and transverse framing, and bulkhead stiffeners, which are more than 12 inches in depth, shall be lightened, except the following: Continuous longitudinal members of strength decks and the shell, for the 3/5 length, amidships. Where special considerations require full section for strength, as, for example, deck beams and stiffeners in way of stanchions, or relative highly stressed areas due to shear or bending moments. Deck beams or girders forming boundaries of tight bulkheads. Lightening holes shall not normally be reinforced. In general, lightening holes shall be centered at the neutral axis of the combined cross-section of the structural member and associated plating. The size and spacing of holes shall be as follows: Depth of hole shall not exceed 35 percent of the depth of web, and the length of hole shall not exceed twice its own depth. Long dimension shall be parallel to the girder. Holes shall be spaced so that the distances between edges of adjacent holes will not be less than 1 1/4 times the length of the holes. Drain holes - In nontight structure, drain holes shall be cut and ground smooth and water courses provided to prevent the accumulation and retention of liquids and to permit their free flow to drains, scuppers, sumps, and suction pipes. Drain holes shall not be reinforced except where required to maintain structural integrity. They shall not be larger than 20 percent of the depth of the web. Drain holes may be half-round in the member being drained, at the attachment edge or a round hole adjacent to the fillet weld in the member being drained. In nontight portions of bottom longitudinales and the vertical keel, drain holes shall be located to ensure drainage of each bay formed by longitudinales and transverse frames. In compartments fitted with suction piping, the total area of drain holes through any frame or longitudinal shall be at least twice the area of the largest suction pipe. The number and size of drain holes may be reduced by including the area of cutouts for shell seams and butts where they are available for drainage. In large structural castings and weldments, drain holes shall be provided to ensure complete drainage. Air holes - In nontight structure of tanks and bottom compartments that are fitted with filling and drainage arrangements, air holes shall be provided to prevent the formation of air or gas pockets and to provide clear passage to air escape pipes. Sea Chests - Sea chests are to be designed and tested as part of the hull structure. For additional information on sea chest requirements and materials, see Section 505b11. 100d. Workmanship Fairness - Deviation from the molded form shall not exceed the fabrication tolerances of Section 074. Fabrication - Welding, structural mechanical fastenings, riveting and cold forming shall be in accordance with Section 074. Discontinuities, undercutting, notches, nicks, or other mechanical damage which might initiate or propagate cracks or points of weakness shall be avoided. Where members are notched out for frames, beams, or other shapes, corner radii shall be provided as specified herein for openings. Discontinuous members on opposite sides of a through member shall line up back-to-back with a limit of error in offset not exceeding one-half the thickness of the through member. Where the discontinuous member is a structural shape, both webs and flanges shall be aligned within this limit. Flanges of shell, deck, and bulkhead stiffeners shall not be drilled or punched for attachments of gratings, platforms, foundations, fittings, and hangers, where such flanges: a. contribute to the structural strength of the hull girder, or b. contribute to the strength of structure affording watertight integrity of the hull, or c. contribute to the strength of structures supporting equipment essential to the ship's safety and mission. Sharp or ragged edges of exposed structure, where likely to injure personnel or equipment, shall be removed. Corners in passageways shall be rounded to present a finished appearance. Structure which will be inaccessible after erection shall be coated with rust-preventive compound in accordance with Section 631.

Edges of plating to be mechanically fastened shall be finished by planing, oxygen cutting, or grinding. Tightness - For tightness requirements see Section 192. Boundaries of tanks and voids shall not leak when subjected to pressure of the specified fluid equivalent to the design head on the boundary. Tightness, in any degree, shall be attained by positive means such as welding or caulking (for mechanically fastened structure only). All caulking shall be metal-to-metal. Welded collars shall be used around continuous members that pass through watertight or oiltight members. Gunning material or other substances shall not be used to stop leaks unless approved. Topside enclosures including deckhouses, superstructure enclosures, and towers, shall be watertight. Boundaries of spaces designated for the stowage of oil or flammable liquid containers shall be oiltight. Where watertight or oiltight structure is penetrated, the watertight or oiltight integrity and ability to test such structures shall be maintained.

100f. Inspection and Repair of Existing Hull Structure General criteria - Where authorized, existing hull structure shall be visually inspected for: compliance with specifications herein, completeness of fabrication and welding as required by applicable installation drawings and the applicable fabrication document specified in Section 074, structural damage, and deterioration. Where inspection of existing hull structure reveals discrepancies with the specifications herein or with the completeness of fabrication and welding as required by applicable installation drawings and the applicable fabrication document specified in Section 074, these discrepancies shall be documented and submitted to the Supervisor for resolution. Inspection for structural damage shall consist of a visual inspection of the structural members themselves, fabrication joints, and attachments and end connections. A structural member which has been damaged to the extent that it can no longer accomplish its design functions must be replaced or repaired. Welded joints and connections shall be inspected for cracks. Mechanically fastened joints shall be inspected for tightness. Cracked welds and loose mechanical fasteners shall be repaired or replaced in accordance with the applicable fabrication document specified in Section 074. Inspection for deterioration due to corrosion shall consist of an inspection of the structural members themselves, fabrication joints, and attachments and end connections. Visual inspection of hull structure will indicate whether corrosion-related base metal deterioration has occurred. Nondestructive testing to determine the extent of the corrosion damage should be performed where the visual inspection indicates damage to an extent that the integrity of the structure is questionable. Consult NAVSEA S9086-CZ-STM-000 Chapter 090, Inspections, Tests, Records, and Reports, for information on several types of corrosion attack and information concerning areas of ship structure which are susceptible to corrosion. Inspection of metal surfaces, welded joints, or mechanically fastened joints denoting any suspected corrosion attack, shall be followed by implementing corrosion control procedures as described in Section 631 or corrosion repairs, or both, specified by NAVSEA S9086-DA-STM-000 Chapter 100, Hull Structures, and NAVSEA S9086-CH-STM-010 chapter 074, volume 1, Welding and Allied Processes. Aluminum deckhouse cracking and corrosion shall be repaired in accordance with NAVSEA 0900-LP-082-3101, Ship Hull Structure Maintenance and Repair. Fabrication, welding and inspection of repaired structure shall be in accordance with the applicable fabrication document specified in Section 074. Acceptance criteria for new welding, including new repair welds, and for existing service-proven welds is as specified in Section 074. In lieu of the general criteria specified in NAVSEA S9086-DA-STM-000, Chapter 100, Hull Structures, for replacement or weld repair of corrosion deteriorated structure, the following may be accomplished. An engineering analysis considering current and probable future corrosion may be performed to determine if the corroded structure is within allowable stress levels, rather than automatic repair when corrosion has resulted in a 25 percent or greater reduction of cross-sectional area. Repairs need only bring the structure back to acceptable stress levels, rather than the as-built condition. The decision to clad weld repair or to replace corroded structure shall be based on engineering analysis rather than requiring replacement when corroded structure exceeds two square feet in area. Doubler plates shall not be utilized for repair of corroded or damaged structure. After any alteration or repair work which could effect tightness of a compartment required to be periodically air tested or inspected, a test shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of Section 192. In general, replacement or modification of structure contributing to hull strength should follow ship construction drawings for the specific ship, insofar as practical. Unless otherwise specified, ship hull material which has been removed from a structure shall be replaced with material of identical type and thickness. HY-100 steel shall be used as a replacement for STS. HY-80 or HY-100 steel may be used as a replacement for HY-80 where ballistic protection is required. Where conditions requiring repairs are recurrent and of a similar nature, NAVSEA, the Type Commander, and the planning yard are to be notified. Special criteria - For ships fitted with sonar dome(s), an inspection of the sonar dome and adjacent hull area shall be performed during any drydock period. Sonar domes and adjacent hull areas must be carefully repaired and groomed to keep unwanted self-noise as low as possible. Sonar domes and adjacent hull areas shall be inspected, repaired, and groomed in accordance with the following publications to correct structural deficiencies, contour deviations, and surface roughness irregularities: NAVSHIPS 0967-412-3010 - Sonar Dome Handbook, Volume I AN/SQS-4 Series and AN/SQS-23 Sonar Domes. NAVSHIPS 0967-LP-412-3020 - Sonar Dome Handbook, Volume II AN/SQS-26 Steel and Rubber Sonar Domes. NAVSHIPS 0967-LP-412-3040 - Sonar Dome Handbook, Volume IV AN/SQQ-23 Rubber Sonar Domes. 100g. Temporary Access Cuts and Closure Plates Holes or openings for any purpose whatsoever, except those shown or indicated by drawings or specifications, must not be cut in any watertight bulkhead, deck, or shell plating except as approved by the Supervisor. No cuts shall be made in sheer, stringer or bilge stakes, or in the flat keel unless approved by the Supervisor, on a case basis. Boundaries of access cuts and closure plates shall, in general, be located between principal ship framing, bulkheads, and other structural members and shall be at least 3 inches from any of these members or from the toes of other welds. A reduction in this 3 inch minimum may be approved by the Supervisor on a case basis provided sufficient clearance is maintained for welding and inspection

requirements. The boundaries of access cuts and closure plates should land on existing butts or seams, wherever practicable. The boundaries of prior access cuts should be utilized wherever possible. Welding closer than 6 inches to a mechanically fastened joint should be avoided. When access cuts cross or come within 6 inches of a mechanically fastened joint, the fasteners shall be checked for tightness and if necessary, loose fasteners shall be seal welded or removed, and replaced for a distance of 6 inches beyond the edge of the cut. When a cut crosses a mechanically fastened seam the cut plates shall be repaired using single V welds backed with glass tape (MIL-C-20079) to prevent fusion between the mechanically fastened plates. Holes or access cuts shall be the minimum size necessary. Patches welded into primary hull structure shall have a minimum dimension of 12 inches, except for circular patches. In this case, the minimum diameter shall be 4T, where T = thickness of the involved structural member, but not less than 4 inches. Circular patches less that 2 feet in diameter shall be dished 1/16 to 1/8 inch to allow for shrinkage when welded. Corners of rectangular access cuts and closure plates shall have a minimum radius of 6 inches except when a boundary lands on an existing hull longitudinal seam or transverse butt weld. In the latter instance, the corners shall intersect the butt weld at a 90 degree angle. Cuts that are to cross existing butts shall do so at an angle of 90 degrees plus or minus 15 degrees. In primary hull structure, existing welds forming the boundary of a cut shall be cut back 3 inches beyond the toe of the access cut, except that the cut back shall not intersect or cross an existing weld, frame, or structural member. In which case, the cut back may be reduced to a minimum of 2 inches in length. Existing welds crossed by the cut shall not be cut back. Holes cut into or through plating in hull structure may be welded closed, provided the original hole diameter does not exceed 2 inches. Holes less than 1/2 inch diameter shall be opened to 1/2 inch minimum diameter. The opening shall be shaped to 20 degrees minimum including angle. Holes greater than 2 inch original diameter shall be repaired by expanding the hole size for a circular patch plate as described above. For all welded construction where more than two multiple concentric or overlapping cuts and replacements have been made in primary hull structure, and where the above boundary requirements have been violated, remove the patch area and discard. Modify the cut boundaries to comply with the above boundary requirements. Prepare, fit, and weld in place a replacement patch of the same material using new plate. Access closure plate weld joints shall be full penetration, 100 percent efficient welds. Welding and inspection requirements for patches and closure plates shall be in accordance with Sect 074 except that no ultrasonic or radiographic inspection is required for patches or closure plates 12 inches diameter or smaller. All mechanical fastening shall be in accordance with Section 074. Technical documentation requirements for temporary access cuts and closure plates are given in Section 071. Additional procedures - Around access cuts that penetrate decks, there shall be installed a temporary coaming at least 4 inches high to help exclude trash, dirt, and liquids from the opening. Tack weld the coaming to the deck and seal the deck with caulking compound. After an access plate has been installed, remove the temporary coaming and chip and grind the deck smooth in way of the removal. Temporary closures of fire retardant material shall be provided for all temporary access openings in weatherdecks and enclosure bulkheads to protect the access from inclement weather and entry of contaminants. Access cuts in the interior ship structure shall be provided with safety rails as a minimum, or with temporary closures of fire retardant material where specified by the Supervisor. Horizontal closures for cuts in decks, platforms shall support a minimum of 150 lbs/sq. ft. All closures shall be fitted with fasteners which permit rapid installation and removal. Closures are to be installed when ever the accesses are not in use. For waterborne ships, a cofferdam enclosure shall be fabricated and installed for any temporary access cut through the shell when the access opening does not provide a minimum of 4 feet of freeboard. Watertight integrity shall be maintained for a minimum of 4 feet of freeboard. For ships in drydock, temporary closure plates and fastenings shall be available on short notice for emergency sealing of temporary access openings below 4 feet of waterborne freeboard. Openings shall be sealed with closure plates when conditions warrant.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 115 STRUCTURAL STANCHIONS 115a. Scope This section contains the requirements for the installation, modification, inspection, and repair of structural stanchions. 115b. General Where required because of changes during overhaul, stanchions shall be provided in location and number so that, in combination with girders and vertical bulkheads, they will properly support the decks where these members are subjected to the various loading for which the decks are designed. Stanchions shall be located vertically one above another, or over bulkheads, insofar as practicable, to form continuous columns of support. In locating stanchions and in designing brackets, eccentric loading shall be minimized. Girders shall be provided in lieu of stanchions only where interference caused by stanchions is unacceptable. Stanchions shall not be located in passageways. In machinery spaces, stanchions shall be spaced to clear machinery installations and to permit the efficient operation, repair, and maintenance of the machinery. Wherever practicable, stanchions shall be located to permit the removal of major items of equipment from the space without removal of the stanchions. See accessibility requirements of Sections 070 and 071. In order to avoid inducing an initial load on stanchions, they shall not be welded in place permanently until surrounding welded structure has been completed. 115c. Design of Structural Stanchions (New Installations or Modification to Existing Installations) In determining the boundaries of deck loads acting on a stanchion, structural bulkheads located either above or below deck shall be considered effective deck supports. Stanchions shall be designed to withstand the loads specified in Section 100, with the following modifications: The specified hydrostatic load shall be applied to the stanchion above as a tensile load and to the stanchion below as a compressive load. Stanchions shall be designed so that the factors of safety, calculated in accordance with Design Data Sheet DDS100-4, will be at least 1.67 for normal compression loads, 1.25 for normal tensile loads and 1.0 for nuclear blast loads. Allowable axial stresses on stanchions shall be as specified in Section 100. Live loads on all decks above stanchion, subject to the following reductions in superposed loadings:

Deck level above stanchion

Permissible reduction Percent 0 10 20 30 40 50

Deck immediately above stanchion head 2nd deck above stanchion head 3rd deck above stanchion head 4th deck above stanchion head 5th deck above stanchion head 6th and more decks above stanchion head

Nuclear blast loads are to be as specified in individual ship specifications. The dynamic reactions of the deck transverses are to be considered as equivalent static loads on the stanchions and may be reduced 10 percent per deck to a maximum of 50 percent as specified for live loads to account for energy absorption. Blast loads are to be combined with dead loads but not with live loads. 115d. Structural Details Stanchions shall be steel or aluminum tubing, or steel sections. For materials see Section 100. Stanchions of H sections may be used instead of tubular stanchions only in locations where the resulting increased weight is offset by important advantages, or in tanks. Stanchions used in tanks shall be the open section H type, to avoid the possibility of the interior becoming filled with liquid.

The welded connection at the heads and heels of stanchions shall be designed to provide a 100 percent efficient joint. For tubular stanchions (where the use of 100 percent efficient welds is impracticable), heavier tubular sections, or the addition of chocks to compensate for the lower efficiency welds, may be used to provide the required joint efficiency. The interior surfaces of tubular stanchions shall be coated with a preservative so that after completion of welding of the installation, the inaccessible surfaces will be preserved. The preservative shall in no way interfere with the welding or degrade the quality of the head and heel attachment welds. Where it is necessary to fit portable stanchions to allow for dismantling of machinery, fitted bolts shall be used, fitted with lock nuts or other efficient securing devices. The bolted connection shall develop the full strength of the stanchion in the appropriate directions of loading. No other holes for bolts, threaded connections, or for any other purpose shall be made in stanchions. Chocks shall be fitted to structural members (longitudinals, beams, girders, bulkheads) at the heads and under the heels of stanchions. The chocks shall be installed at right angles to these members. Thickness of the chocks shall be not less than one half the thickness of the web. In no case shall the thickness of the chock be less than 1/8 inch. Where two stanchions are in line and separated by an intersecting member (such as a transverse beam) the chocks, in conjunction with the web of the intersecting member, shall be of sufficient strength to transmit the tensile or compressive loads from one stanchion to the other. The allowable stress for this area shall be 80 percent of the buckling or tensile yield strength of the chocking system. Except for bulkheads, the chocks shall be of the same depth as the webs of the members. For bulkheads, they shall be of sufficient depth to properly distribute the stanchion load into the bulkhead. Where stanchions support or are supported by a system of structural members intersecting at the stanchion, chocks shall be fitted between the flanges of the members and in the plane of the web of the smaller member; thus becoming essentially an extension of this web. To provide adequate bearing, cap and sole plates or insert plates shall be fitted at the head and heel of stanchions where the beam flange or deck plating at which the stanchion ends is of lesser thickness than the stanchion wall thickness or is of insufficient width. Insert plates are to be used in all cases where tensile loads are considered. 115e. Inspection and Repair Inspection and repair of existing structural stanchions shall be accomplished in accordance with the general criteria for the inspection and repair of existing hull structure as specified in Section 100.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 120 STRUCTURAL BULKHEADS 120a. Scope This section contains the requirements for the installation, modification, inspection, and repair of structural bulkheads. 120b. General (New Installations or Modification to Existing Installations) Structural bulkheads installed or modified in accordance with overhaul requirements shall be designed to provide adequate strength for the ship as a whole and shall be as light as is compatible with the strength necessary to withstand loads specified in Section 100. General requirements, materials, and workmanship shall be in accordance with Section 100. Longitudinal structural bulkheads, with their extensions, shall be continuous fore and aft through transverse bulkheads. They shall be terminated so as to avoid abrupt changes in the strength of the ship as a girder. Miscellaneous bulkheads and pockets in bulkheads not definitely specified shall be of the same general character and scantlings as the bulkheads in the immediate vicinity utilized for similar purposes. Plating shall be butt-welded. Where the bulkhead is cut out in way of beams or other structural members, plate collars shall be fitted as required to maintain the required tightness. Attachments to bulkheads for the purpose of supporting local weights shall not impair the strength or tightness of the bulkhead. Insert and margin plates and special framing and stiffening shall be installed as may be necessary to distribute local stress, and, as far as practicable, the attachments shall be made to the special framing and not directly to the bulkhead plating. Where portions of bulkheads are left incomplete or are temporarily removed during progress of the overhaul, temporary support shall be provided as needed to prevent damage to the rest of the ship structure. Stiffeners and brackets - Stiffeners shall be arranged and designed so that when acting with an effective breadth of plating, they will be adequate to support the part of the vertical load which cannot be considered as being distributed to the bulkhead boundaries through shear in the bulkhead plating. Generally, stiffeners shall be fitted on only one side of a bulkhead. Butts in stiffener webs shall be eliminated insofar as practicable, and in any case, shall not be located near regions of high bending stress. Vertical bulkhead stiffeners subject to hydrostatic loads shall be designed as pin-supported members between decks, except where the stiffeners are unusually long (such as in machinery spaces). In such areas the stiffener may be designed assuming end fixity of the stiffener, as applicable. Members backed by substantial structure (such as floors, deep girders, or bulkheads) may be assumed to have fixed supports. Brackets shall be installed at the ends of stiffeners wherever a weight saving in the stiffener section can be accomplished thereby, and where adequate structure is available to provide sufficient restraint against joint rotation at these points. Wherever practicable, bulkhead stiffeners shall be kept out of passageways, showers, washrooms, and water closet spaces. 120c. Trunks The design head of structural access trunks designated as watertight shall be the design head of the lowest compartment served. Where practicable, trunks shall have rounded corners. 120d. Chain Locker Bulkheads The top edge of the chain locker division bulkhead shall be fitted with pipe or half-rounds. The pipe or half-round shall be 3-inch diameter minimum for 14.02-pound bulkheads and heavier, 2-inch diameter minimum for bulkheads of 10.2 to 14.02 pounds, and 1 1/2 inch diameter minimum for bulkheads under 10.2 pounds. Chain locker division bulkheads shall have drainage holes at the bottom to form a water course to the drain well. Foot holes shall be cut in this bulkhead to serve as a ladder. See Section 622. Chafing plates, castings, or half-rounds shall be installed to protect the structure from the whip of the anchor chains. Stiffeners on chain locker bulkheads shall be installed on the side of the bulkheads opposite the chain except that on division bulkheads, stiffeners shall be pipe or half-rounds of the sizes specified above.

120e. Openings There shall be no access or ventilation openings in main subdivision bulkheads below the damage control deck. Wherever watertight construction is specified to a height which does not extend to the upper boundary of a bulkhead, vent ducts, wiring, and piping may be passed through the upper nontight portion of the bulkheads using nontight construction. Means shall be provided to cover crevices exceeding 1/8 inch in way of these penetrations. Doors, arches, and other openings shall be located so that as few stiffeners as practicable are cut, and so that the efficiency of the bulkhead as a frame is not impaired. Penetration in longitdinal strength bulkheads shall be avoided in the area between diverging lines drawn at 45 degrees from the lower tangent points of the radii at the top of door or arch to the strength deck immediately above and also between diverging lines drawn at 45 degrees from the upper tangent points of the radii at the bottom of the same opening to the strength deck, inner bottom, or shell directly below. The boundaries of this restricted area shall not extend beyond a vertical line drawn 1 foot from the edge of the door opening or a horizontal line drawn 3 feet from the top edge of the door opening. Where such penetrations cannot be avoided, no more than one penetration is permissible within the area described above and it shall be centered directly on the centerline of the door or arch. The size of the permissible opening is determined by taking 40 percent of the remaining bulkhead above the door for the height and 50 percent of the access width for the length. The penetration shall be reinforced by a flat bar faceplate around its entire periphery. Design Data Sheet DDS-100-1 describes acceptable methods of reinforcement. Watertight and airtight door openings, shall be reinforced in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 805-1362325. 120f. Inspection and Repair Inspection and repair of existing structural bulkheads shall be accomplished in accordance with the general criteria for the inspection and repair of existing hull structure as specified in Section 100.

For strength decks, the deck plating and its longitudinal supporting members shall be continuous through transverse structure throughout the length of the deck. Beams may be cut to permit removal or installation of equipment or systems, but only with the approval of the Supervisor, except as allowed by these specifications or as shown on the approved structural drawings. Deck supporting deckhouse corners end bulkheads, and expansion joint structure shall be reinforced by inserts, doublers, or intercostals to resist the shear and lifting forces imposed by the deckhouse. The damage control deck shall be of watertight construction throughout. All decks and platforms (including superstructure decks) not required to support a hydrostatic head, shall be of welded construction, and plating shall be watertight but not required to withstand pressure. No abrupt change in the direction or size of any member in way of the corners of deck openings is permitted when such change would create a concentration of stress at these corners. A raised deck edge coaming 6 inches high capable of withstanding the force of a rolling aircraft shall be installed on aircraft handling decks (including helicopter landing platforms). Installation shall be along the outboard edges except on aircraft carriers at the flight deck ramps, outboard of the island, and in way of the aircraft bolter area. Installation shall be such that deck drainage is not hindered. The coaming shall not obstruct the view from approaching aircraft of the peripheral lights. Perforated plating for walkways and platforms shall be in accordance with drawing, NAVSEA No. 805-921931.

Scope This section contains the requirements for the installation, modification, inspection, and repair of superstructure. 150b. General (New Installations/Modifications to Existing Installations) The weather envelope of the superstructure and the interior decks shall be of watertight construction. Corners of deckhouses shall be rounded. Deckhouse sides shall be free of abrupt changes in directions that result in sharp re-entrant corners or pockets. Door openings and other large openings shall be kept as far from the intersection of structural bulkheads as practicable. Door openings on adjacent deck levels shall be staggered wherever practicable. Where not practicable, the openings shall be reinforced. Because of large shear and lifting forces induced in longitudinal bulkheads near their termination at expansion joints or deckhouse endings, large openings should be kept well clear of such locations. Where these openings necessarily occur in areas of diaphragm plates, and 4 feet beyond the termination of the diaphragm plate, they shall be reinforced by an insert. Where a diaphragm plate is not used, openings within 4 feet of the house end or expansion joint shall be reinforced by an insert. In general, the plane of the deckhouse sides shall not change between supporting transverse bulkheads. Wherever practicable, structural transverse bulkheads in the superstructure shall be in the same plane at all levels and shall line up with the supporting transverse bulkheads in the main hull. A coaming, at least 3 inches in height, shall be provided at the periphery of deckhouse tops, platforms, and bridges. Except as noted below, the side and end bulkhead plating shall be extended above the weather deck level to form the waterway coaming. Where superstructure sides are a continuation of the sheer strake and not separated by a mechanically fastened seam, a free-standing waterway coaming shall be located at least 3 inches from the deck edge, and the side plating shall not extend above the weather deck level. Deck framing shall not be considered as providing vertical support to deckhouse sides or transverse bulkheads which extend over more than one supporting bulkhead. All transverse forces acting on the superstructure shall be assumed to be transferred to the main hull by transverse bulkheads acting in shear. The ends of vertical deckhouse stiffeners shall, wherever practicable, line up with framing above and below. Where the ends of these stiffeners do not land on deck framing above or below, the ends shall be sniped. The corners of sniped-off or square cut stiffener ends which are exposed to the weather shall be rounded off. Bulwarks - Bulwarks shall be fitted on flag and navigating bridges and elsewhere as required. Bulwarks shall be suitably stiffened and braced to resist environmental loads and loading due to mounted equipment. Their construction shall not permit the entrance of wind between the bulwark and deck. 150c. Design of Superstructure Superstructure installed or modified in accordance with overhaul requirements shall be designed to withstand the loads specified in Section 100 and to support masts, kingposts, and other attached structures. General requirements, materials, and workmanship shall be in accordance with Section 100. 150d. Inspection and Repair Inspection and repair of existing superstructure shall be accomplished in accordance with the general criteria for the inspection and repair of existing hull structure as specified in Section 100.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 164 BALLISTIC PLATING 164a. Scope This section contains the requirements for the installation, modification, inspection, and repair of ballistic and fragment protection plating. 164b. Definitions Ballistic plating is a generic term covering all plating provided for protection against ballistic shapes and fragments. Ballistic plating may serve the dual purpose of providing both protection and structural strength. It may consist of materials such as STS, HY steels, higher strength steel, ordinary strength steel, ceramic composites, or aluminum. High yield steel (HY-80 or HY-100) is plating manufactured in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-162l6. These steels are primarily used for structural purposes, but also have good ballistic properties. In cases where the ballistic properties of HY-80 or HY-100 are of importance, the requirements specified herein shall apply. HY-100 steel shall be used as replacement for STS. 164c. General Ballistic plating is designed and installed to resist ballistic shapes, fragments, and blast, and to provide structural strength. Ballistic plating is constructed as an integral part of the ship structure. Fragment protection plate is designed to provide specific levels of protection against fragmenting weapons. Fragment protection plate may consist of metallic plate, nonmetallic materials, or composite systems of metallic and nonmetallic materials in abutting layers. Fragment protection may be provided in the form of normal ship structure, configured in thickness and material properties necessary, or in the form of parasitic protective metallic or nonmetallic plate which is fastened to the ship structure by welding or mechanical means or both. Parasitic protective plate is primarily intended for use in alterations or modification of existing ship structure where the use of parasitic material will reduce the extent of ripout required. Parasitic protective plate, metallic or nonmetallic, does not contribute to structural strength. The design and installation of fragment protection plate shall be in accordance with Design Data Sheet DDS 072-3 Conventional Weapons Protection (Fragments). Splinter bulwarks. Splinter bulwarks shall be constructed around open mounts so that in no case will it be possible for gun barrels to strike the bulwark. This requires constant height for bulwarks around remotely controlled gun mounts where the barrels project over the top edge of the bulwark. The height of the bulwarks shall permit firing at maximum depression of the gun in any direction where such firing will not strike the ship. For that portion of the angle of train of a mount where firing at maximum depression could strike the ship, the bulwark may be increased over the height otherwise limited to permit maximum depression provided either the barrels do not overhang the bulwark edge or the mount is manually operated. Where bulwarks are less than 36 inches high, thus offering a hazard for personnel to fall over, portable rails shall be fitted to raise the height to 42 inches. Bulwarks shall be designed to withstand the force of the sea. Where there is the possibility of water being entrapped within the bulwarks, freeing ports with flaps shall be installed. Connections - Where ballistic deck plating is fitted in two or more courses, the butts and seams of the courses shall be shifted clear of each other. Where the butts or seams are riveted, they shall be caulked. The faying surfaces of multiple courses of deck plating shall be coated with rust-preventive compound, Mil. Spec. MIL-C-11796, class 1 or 1A. Stopwaters shall be fitted where necessary, in accordance with Section 074. All butts, seams, and joints in the top and lowest courses, and all joints between courses at openings shall be made tight. In the detail design and construction of ballistic bulkheads intended to act as diaphragms, hard spots and lines of weakness at seams, butts, and stiffeners shall be kept to an absolute minimum. Welding and riveting of ballistic plating shall comply with Section 074. 164d. Attachments to Ballistic Plating General - Instruments and equipment shall not be attached directly to the inboard side of ballistic plating, 51.0 lb/ft2 and heavier, which forms the bulkheads and overhead of vital spaces, unless otherwise approved. The order of preference for attachment to such structure is as follows: (1) The stiffener web

1

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Section 164

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

(2) The stiffener flange (3) The plating When attachments must be made directly to ballistic plating (51.0 lb/ft2 or heavier), the total static weight supported per attachment shall not result in a stress in the weld (attaching the support to the ballistic plating) greater than 225 psi. Where direct attachment is unavoidable and does not meet this criteria, a loading pad of sufficient size to spread the load shall be installed between the attachment and the plating. These restrictions also apply to the mounting of piping, operating rods and shafting on the underside of decks but do not apply to penetrations of the plating or to attachments to the outside of spaces protected with 51.0 lb/ft2 or heavier ballistic plating. Electric cables and wiring boxes may be attached directly to ballistic plating provided the supports are flexible and a clearance of 2 inches is maintained between the plating and the supported equipment. The number of instruments and equipment mounted adjacent to ballistic plating shall be kept to a minimum. For acceptable methods of attachment of piping to ballistic plating, see drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 804-1385781, and for attachment of electric cables and wiring boxes to ballistic plating, see drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 803-5001027. Where instruments and equipment do not have pedestal type mountings, and where the use of the space necessitates the mounting of these items adjacent to the inner face of the ballistic plating, supports shall be installed independent of the ballistic material. Resilient mountings shall be provided where necessary and where not incorporated in the instrument itself. The supports shall consist of tubular steel frames, Mil. Spec. MIL-T-16343, with ordinary strength steel plating welded between the vertical members to provide surfaces on which to mount the instruments. The spacing of the vertical supports, and thus the maximum width of panels shall be about 3 feet. The plating shall be about 5.1 lb/ft2 with consideration given to the type of equipment to be mounted and the use of horizontal stiffeners to save weight. All connections between parts of the panels and framing shall develop the full strength of the weaker members being connected. Clearances - A minimum clearance of 4 inches shall be maintained between the inner face of the ballistic plating and the supported equipment. The vertical tubular supports shall be secured at their lower ends by welding to the false floor, if one is provided, or to the deck or base plate forming the lower boundary of the enclosure. A similar connection shall be provided at the upper ends where the upper boundary is not exposed to ballistic impacts, but connections to the inner surfaces of the exposed sides and top of any ballistic enclosures shall be avoided, where practicable, by providing an independent tubular framework around the top of the enclosure to which the upper ends of the vertical tubular supports may be attached, or by brackets to give support entirely from the deck. Where such framework or bracketed construction is impracticable, flexible connections, allowing 4 inches of movement of the ballistic plating under impact without materially damaging the tubular supports, shall be installed. These connections shall be designed to avoid vibration under normal operation conditions and under gunfire or missile blast. All supports for instruments and equipment, including tubular framework, plate panels, and bolt heads, shall have at least the minimum specified clearance from the inner surface of the ballistic plating and from projections thereon. Cutouts in the panel plates may be used in way of local projections. To minimize the space occupied by the instruments and their supports, the plate panels shall be secured to the tubular supports in locations such that the tops of the heads of the bolts securing instruments to the panel plates will not extend beyond a plane tangent to the sides of the vertical tubular supports closest to the ballistic plating. In way of metallic parasitic fragment protection plate, miscellaneous outfitting items, weighing 100 pounds and less, may be installed attached to the protective plating; however, any major structural attachment or outfitting item weighing more than 100 pounds must be attached directly to ship structure and not to the protective plating. 164e. Ballistic Deck, Bulkhead, and Shell Plating Openings The number and size of the openings in ballistic decks, platforms, and bulkheads shall be kept to a minimum. Corner radii of all openings shall be the maximum practicable and shall conform to Section 100. The edge distance between openings whose largest dimensions are greater than 8 inches shall be not less than 36 inches or one-half the sum of the aligned dimensions, whichever is larger. For holes whose largest dimensions are between 3 1/2 and 8 inches, the edge distance shall not be less than 4 inches plus 4 times the largest dimension. The minimum allowable center to center spacing of holes in ballistic plating for electric cables, small pipes, and operating rods, whose diameters are 3 1/2 inches and less, shall be 1.9 times the mean diameter of the opening. Design Data Sheet, DDS-100-2 shows an acceptable spacing for these openings. Stuffing tubes for electric cables passing through ballistic plating shall be welded directly to the plating. Special framing for the support of the plating in way of openings shall be provided where necessary to develop the ballistic strength of the deck. Penetrations of ballistics deck plating shall not be aligned vertically over each other. Where vertical alignment cannot be avoided, such as for bomb elevators, the openings shall be trunked between the decks so penetrated. The thickness of trunk plating shall be that required for ballistic sleeves.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 180 FOUNDATIONS 180a. Scope This section contains the requirements for the installation, modification, inspection and repair of structural foundations. 180b. Design For general requirements of hull structure and material for foundations see Section 100. Strength and rigidity of foundations shall be suitable to withstand the following loads, and to distribute them into the structure of the hull: Weights of machinery and equipment, including liquids at operating levels and one-half of the unsupported lengths of connected piping and cables, plus the dynamic effects of ship motion and vibration. Foundations for equipment subjected to added weights, including liquids for testing for leaks, shall be designed to support these loads. Loads due to the operation of the machinery or equipment itself and from connected systems. Shock loads as specified in Section 072; Nuclear blast loading as specified in individual ship specifications. In exposed locations, the loadings due to gun blast, missile blast, ice and snow, wave impact, and wind shall also be considered. Foundations subject to cyclically repeated or reversed loadings shall be designed to withstand fatigue. The foundation for main propulsion turbines, main reduction gears, switchboards, diesel generators, and other propulsion plant equipment shall be designed so that, within the range of those frequencies developed by the ship's propeller, vibration shall not prevent the ship from maintaining any speed up to and including maximum speed. Foundations for radar antennas shall be designed so that natural resonant frequencies will not interfere with the effectiveness of the antennas. In addition to the requirements specified in this section, armament foundations shall meet the requirements of Section 702. For gun mounts the static equivalent of dynamic recoil forces shall be assumed to be 1.3 times the rated brake load of the recoil mechanism. Design stresses shall not exceed one-half the yield strength of the material. Unless otherwise specified, steel shall be used for foundations in way of steel supporting structure and aluminum in way of aluminum supporting structure. 180c. Arrangement To minimize weight, structural members of the hull, reinforced as necessary, shall be used as parts of foundations, wherever practicable. Equipment shall be supported without direct connection to the shell or other structure exposed to wave impact, gun blast, missile blast, propeller-excited vibrations, or similar loadings, if the resulting distortion or vibration would damage the equipment or impair its performance. Equipment required to meet the mission capabilities outlined in Section 072 shall not be attached to watertight bulkheads if the deflection caused by flooding of adjacent compartments would render such equipment inoperative. Accessibility shall be provided for inspection and maintenance of equipment foundation structure and adjacent hull structure. See, also, Sections 071 and 200. Foundations shall be constructed so as not to contain pockets which can retain liquids. Water freeing openings shall be provided at the base of deck-mounted foundations. The structural arrangement of foundations for condensers shall permit the remaking of the exhaust flange joints. Projecting corners and edges of structure shall be well rounded or padded to protect personnel. 180d. Alignment Provision shall be made for maintaining positive and accurate alignment where essential for satisfactory operation of the machinery or equipment. For general system alignment requirements see respective system sections. Critical alignment guidance for new installations shall be as specified in the Shipalt record or in specific alignment guidance for the system furnished by the Supervisor. Shims or chocks may be used where necessary to prevent distortion due to bolting equipment to foundations and braces. The rigidity of foundations and supporting structure shall be sufficient to prevent misalignment which would interfere with operation of the machinery and equipment, and to preclude excessive vibratory motion or rocking on the foundation. For electronic equipment, top

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 192 COMPARTMENT TESTING 192a. Scope This section consists of strength (tightness) and completion test requirements for compartment, tank, and void boundaries. 192b. Definitions Strength Test - Frequently referred to as tightness test. Strength tests serve to assure the designed strength and tightness of the structure under reasonable expected conditions of use and loading. Strength tests are performed by applying a pressure equivalent to the specified design head of the structure. Completion Test - Completion tests demonstrate adequate tightness of a completed compartment, tank, or void. Completion tests are performed by applying air or liquid pressure, by hose testing, or visual inspection. Any lack of tightness is detected by observing the drop in pressure (drop test), the leakage of liquid (leakage test), or visible openings (visual test). 192c. General Requirements After any alteration or repair work which could affect the tightness of a compartment, tank, or void required to be periodically air tested or inspected, a completion test shall be conducted, except as noted below. 1. Opening of tanks or voids only for inspection or access, or both, does not constitute work requiring a completion test. 2. As an alternate test method to a full compartment, tank, or void completion test, an individual penetration test using one of the methods in paragraph 192f may be substituted, provided: a. The repaired or altered area is susceptible to localized differential air pressure testing at the required pressure by means of a vacuum box, a pressurized cofferdam, air hose testing, water hose testing, or a running air pressure test. b. Local record keeping procedures assure that all portions of compartments, tanks, and voids which may have been affected by the work, and could affect watertight integrity are identified and tested. Completion tests shall not be performed until work on the compartment, tank, or void involved has been completed, including any attachments or penetrations which might affect the tightness of compartment, tank, or void boundaries; however, where practical, completion tests should be performed before painting. All permanent access and closure fittings shall be installed. Should any work, which could affect tightness, be performed on boundaries of a compartment, tank, or void after a completion test has been made, an additional test shall be applied. The additional test need be performed only to prove work done and may be accomplished utilizing alternate test methods of paragraph 192f in order of the following preference: 1. Rerun of completion test as a running air test 2. Cofferdam method 3. Vacuum box method 4. Air hose method 5. Water hose method 6. Chalk test method (preliminary test only) Only if an alteration involves a change in the design of a tank carrying liquids is a strength test to be performed using either water or oil as the testing medium. In tests requiring 10 lb/in2 and under, where it is considered necessary and safe, an air test may be substituted for the testing medium. The pressure shall be in accordance with existing Compartment Test Schedule requirements or the construction drawing; however, the pressure selected must not exceed the design head for the weakest boundary of the tank. If a strength test is conducted, the completion test is not necessary, provided the strength test is conducted after all work affecting the tightness of the structure has been completed. Design heads are in feet of salt water unless otherwise specified; however, salt water shall not be used as the testing medium. If a design head is specified, an equivalent head of the testing liquid shall be used. When a compartment, tank, or void is ready for testing, the Supervisor shall be notified and testing shall not proceed until the Supervisor has inspected the space and authorized proceeding with test. Unless specified otherwise in the Schedule of Watertight Integrity Tests and Inspections (SWITI), and except as noted in paragraph 192d, the air pressure for completion tests shall be 2 lb/in2 for watertight and oiltight structure and 4 oz/in2 for air tight structure.

A compartment, tank, or void tested by a completion air test will be considered sufficiently tight if the drop in air pressure, from the specified test pressure, during a 10-minute period does not exceed the following values: Compartment

Allowable Drop Ounces Per Square Inch Zero 5 2

Tanks, voids, cofferdams Wiring trunks All other spaces

For those cases where the pressure used is less than 2 lb/in2 allowable pressure drops shall be changed in the ratio of actual pressure to 2 lb/in2. If performing an air pressure test, the space being tested shall be pressurized and maintained at test pressure for 15 minutes for temperature stabilization before beginning the 10-minute test. 192d. Miscellaneous Tests New or repaired bilge keels, rudders, rudder support assemblies, and shaft tubes shall be tested to a pressure of 5 lb/in2. Under these tests, there shall be no drop in pressure over a 10-minute period. These tests shall be conducted prior to filling with preservative coating. Sonar domes shall be tested as required by the individual Sonar Dome Handbook if a dome is repaired or replaced. New compartments, tanks, or voids installed on a ship shall be tested in accordance with the completion or strength test requirements on the construction drawing. Completion test requirements shall be added to the SWITI. 192e. Air Test Fittings An air test fitting (drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385791) shall be provided for each new compartment which requires periodic air testing. Air test fittings, where practicable, shall be located on or adjacent to the normal access of the compartment. Air test fittings on hatches shall be located so as not to form an obstruction to traffic. Air test fittings shall be used for the purpose of conducting completion air tests. 192f. Alternate Test Methods Running Air Test Method - Running air tests, used in lieu of completion tests, shall be performed as follows: 1. Pressurize the space to the specified completion test pressure. 2. Boundaries of the space, which have been affected by repair or rework, shall be inspected for leakage by applying a soapy solution to the outside of the structure under pressure or by using an ultrasonic translator detector (similar to Hewlett Packard Delcon 4905A). 3. Acceptance criteria for running air tests shall be no evidence of leakage indicated either by no formation of bubbles in the soapy solution or no reading on the ultrasonic translator detector. Cofferdam Test Method - A pressure cofferdam can be used to verify tightness of patches or components after reinstallation, if it is physically possible to cover the item. Cofferdam tests, used in lieu of completion tests, shall be performed as follows: 1. Install the cofferdam over joint or fitting to be tested so that the pressure differential will be in the same direction as a full compartment, tank, or void completion test. 2. Pressurize the air space inside the cofferdam to the test pressure specified for the completion test of the applicable compartment, tank, or void. 3. Apply a soapy solution to the opposite side of the structure and inspect for leakage. Acceptance criteria for cofferdam tests shall be no evidence of leakage indicated by no formation of bubbles in the soapy solution. 4. If the opposite side of the structure is inaccessible, an alternate method of proving tightness is to measure the drop in pressure within the cofferdam over a 10-minute period. The gasket and fittings in the cofferdam should be checked for leakage using a soapy solution. Acceptance criteria for this alternate cofferdam test shall be no drop in pressure. Vacuum Box Test Method - A vacuum box can be used to verify the tightness of patches or components after reinstallation, if it is physically possible to cover the item. Vacuum box tests, used in lieu of completion tests, shall be performed as follows: 1. Apply a soapy solution to the joint to be tested. 2. Install the vacuum box over the joint or fitting to be tested so that the pressure differential will be in the same direction as a full compartment, tank, or void completion test. 3. Draw a vacuum to obtain a pressure differential comparable to the completion test pressure. 4. Inspect the joint or fitting for leakage by observing through the plexiglass cover of the vacuum box for the formation of bubbles.

5. Acceptance criteria for vacuum box tests shall be no evidence of leakage indicated by no formation of bubbles in the soapy solution. 6. An alternate test method of proving tightness with the vacuum box is to measure the rise in pressure within the vacuum box over a 10-minute period. The gasket and fittings in the vacuum box shall be checked for leakage using a soapy solution. Acceptance criteria for this alternate vacuum box test shall be no rise in pressure. Air Hose Test Method - Air hose tests, used in lieu of completion tests, shall be performed as follows: 1. The air hose nozzle shall be about 3/8 inch in diameter and the pressure at the nozzle shall be about 90 lb/in2. 2. Apply a soapy solution to the structure on the side opposite from the side the stream of air is to be applied. 3. The air hose shall be applied to produce a pressure differential in the same direction as would occur if a full compartment, tank, or void test were performed. Hold the nozzle as close as possible to the joint or fitting under test and direct the air stream in the manner most likely to reveal leakage. 4. Test procedures using the air hose test method shall contain the following statement, "WARNING: High velocity air is a personnel hazard. Nonessential personnel shall be cleared from the area being tested. Safety glasses shall be worn at all times. Care must be taken so that the air stream is not directed toward any personnel." 5. Acceptance criteria for air hose tests shall be no evidence of leakage indicated by no formation of bubbles in the soapy solution. Water Hose Test Method - Water hose tests, used in lieu of completion tests shall be performed as follows: 1. The water hose nozzle shall be no less than l/2 inch in diameter and the pressure at the nozzle shall be no less than 50 lb/in2. 2. The nozzle shall be within ten feet of the structure under test and the stream of water shall be directed against all portions of the structure in the manner most likely to develop leaks. Inspect the opposite side of the structure being tested for signs of water seepage. 3. All test procedures using the water hose test method shall contain the following statement, "WARNING: Prior to water hose test, conduct a survey to assure that appropriate steps and precautions have been taken to prevent damage caused by spillage or spray of fluid on ship's components and equipment adjacent to test area and to contain fluid if leakage should occur." 4. Acceptance criteria for water hose test shall be no evidence of water on the opposite side of the tested structure. Chalk Test Method (Preliminary Test Only) - A chalk test may be used as a preliminary test for reworked knife edges and gaskets on watertight doors and hatches. One of the preceding test methods must be used to prove work tight. Chalk testing is performed as follows: 1. Chalk the bearing surface of the knife edge and close the door or hatch by normal procedure. 2. When the door or hatch is opened, the chalk from the knife edge will have been transferred to the gasket. 3. Acceptance criteria for the chalk test is a uniform and continuous chalk mark on the door's or hatch's gasket. If there are irregularities or breaks in the chalk mark, the gasket or knife edge must be adjusted or replaced and the test repeated. 192g. Safety Precautions Safety precautions of Naval Ship's Technical Manual, NAVSEA 0901-LP-884-0004, Chapter 9880, Section IV, shall be followed to prevent over-pressurization of the compartment or tank being tested. 192h. The Schedule of Watertight Integrity and Inspections (SWITI) The SWITI shall be updated to reflect only revisions to compartment numbering or changes to compartment tightness requirements made during the overhaul for use by ship's force in conducting periodic inspections after the ship completes overhaul. The Contractor is not responsible for conducting periodic tests and inspections unless specifically authorized,

Scope This section contains processes, procedures and requirements for the alteration, overhaul or replacement of components associated with propulsion and auxiliary boilers. 221b. Definitions Auxiliary Boiler - Small boilers which supply steam for distilling plants, space heating, water heating, galley and laundry. Boiler Full-Power Capacity - The total quantity of steam required to develop ship's contract shaft horsepower divided by the number of boilers installed in the ship. Expressed as the number of pounds of steam generated per hour at a specified pressure and temperature. Boiler Overload Capacity - As specified in design of a boiler, usually 120 percent of boiler full-power capacity. Boiler Pressure Boundary (Vessel) - Boiler pressure parts up to and including the first or most proximate valve on each connecting line to the boiler. Burner Protrusion - Location of the burner atomizer end cap with respect to the diffuser (impeller) plate. Burner Withdrawal - Location of the diffuser (impeller) plate with respect to the throat ring (bladed cone). Design Pressure - Pressure specified by the boiler manufacturer as a criterion for boiler design (often 108% of maximum steam drum pressure). Desuperheater - Located in either the water drum or steam drum (below normal water level), the desuperheater lowers superheated steam temperature back to or close to saturated steam temperature for proper steam lubrication of the auxiliary machinery. Economizer - An arrangement of tubes located in the combustion gas stream to recover some of the combustion gas heat which would be lost up the stack; preheats feedwater prior to the steam drum. Main (Propulsion) Boiler - Produces steam (saturated and superheated) for steam turbine propulsion plant. Steam Drum - A cylindrical drum located at the top of the boiler, it receives feed water and serves as a place for the accumulation of saturated steam. Superheater - Raises steam temperature from saturation point for the design pressure of the boiler to a predetermined figure. Normally consists of two headers and a bank of U- or W-shaped tubes. Water (Mud) Drum - A cylindrical drum located at the bottom of the boiler, it equalizes the distribution of water to the generating tubes and provides a place for the accumulation of loose scale and other solid matter that may be present in the boiler water. 221c.

5. All header and drum nozzle welds between nozzle and pressure vessel piping connections shall be P-73 Butt Weld Joints per MIL-STD-22. Note: Some ships have socket weld connections which must be modified by cutting back on the nozzle to eliminate the socket and reprepping the end for a P-73 butt weld. Preheat and interpass temperatures shall be closely controlled where the existing nozzle to boiler weld could be adversely affected. Redesign each boiler blow system to comply with the following criteria: 1. Boiler blow system shall be in accordance with NAVSEA 804-841733. a. Selection of clustered valve arrangement or minimized piping arrangement shall be to provide good valve accessibility for operation and maintenance and minimize the pressure vessel piping length between the casing and the stop valve. b. The clustered stop valve arrangement (NAVSEA 804-841733, Zone 7 B-C), locates bottom blow stop valves perpendicular to boiler front casing on approximately nine inch centers. Valve grouping out of way of burner front is preferred. Valve grouping of bottom blow stop valves from headers at a location other than the burner front should be considered if the location provides good valve accessibility. Valve grouping under the burner front should be considered as a last alternative, but is preferred to arrangements which would locate the valves in positions that would not provide good valve accessibility. Additional shielding of hot piping shall be required when valves are grouped under the burner front area. c. The minimized piping arrangement (NAVSEA 804-841733, Zone 7 E-F), locates bottom blow stop valves adjacent to header or water drum. This arrangement shall be used if it provides good valve accessibility. 2. Valve locations (in boiler pressure vessel piping) close to the boiler casing are preferred to reduce the length of non isolated piping and to effect valve stem protrusion between casing and athwartship grating edge. The Design agent may approve, in selected instances, increasing the length of non isolated piping outside the boiler casing to obtain a valve location just under grating level when such locations provide good access for operation and maintenance. Where this alternative is invoked, lift-up hinged grating modifications are authorized. Hinged grating shall incorporate a "locked-up" feature. 3. All valves shall be located to provide for hands-on operation from grating level. Tee wrenches (24" maximum length) and/or valve extension stems per NAVSEA drawing 803-5361333 are authorized to satisfy the requirement. Where used, tee wrenches shall be capable of full 360 deg. rotation without ratcheting. Handle on tee wrench shall protrude above grating level when inserted on valve. 4. All new pressure vessel stop valves shall conform to MIL-V-17737. Straightway Y pattern valves are preferred even if minor piping and grating modifications are required to accommodate them. Header valves shall be tee wrench operated. Steam water drum valves shall have handwheels. Water drum valves with tee wrench operators are permitted where deck grating is too far above valve to permit adequate handwheel operation or where local obstructions prevent access. Provide tee wrenches as follows: (1) per boiler and 100% spares. 5. Utilize five diameter pipe bends in all boiler blow system piping. The only exception to 5 diameter bends is the first bend off the header nozzle which can be a long radius elbow in any one of the following cases: a. To contribute to good valve accessibility. b. To reduce/eliminate pocketing of pressure vessel piping. c. To miss adjacent major obstructions. Pocketing boiler pressure vessel piping is allowed but not preferred. 6. Exposed pressure vessel piping between the outer casing penetration and stop valve shall be minimized. Exposed pockets where active pitting may be initiated during dry boiler lay up are particularly to be avoided. Boiler blow system and casing penetrations shall be in accordance with NAVSEA drawing 804-841733. Commercial bellows procured for this service shall be evaluated for adequate simultaneous lateral and axial deflection consistent with piping displacement during system operation as shown by stress analysis worst case. 7. The surface blow valve should be located as close as possible to the surface blow line steam drum nozzle to minimize exposed pressure vessel piping regardless of this valve position relative to the gage glass. Where the surface blow line steam drum nozzle is at the same end of the steam drum as the gage glass the surface blow valve should be positioned to permit valve operator line of sight to the boiler gage glass. 8. The discharge of all pressure vessel stop valves shall tie into a common header via laterals. Downstream of the final tie-in lateral, provide the following, in order: A pump-out valve connection (not required if the drain valve is accessible and can perform the same function), a drain valve connection, a guardian valve in the line (not required if a single system serves a single boiler), a lateral tie-in from another boiler (if applicable) and a stop check valve and angle globe valve (bolted together) at the overboard seachest. 9. Utilize a pipe-within-a-pipe overboard discharge in general accordance with construction details shown on NAVSEA drawing 804-841733. Adapt this design to suit over all length constraints of shipboard location. For information, see drawing 634-4347166 which adapts this design to length constraints on ships with inner bottoms. 10. Locate the new overboard discharge pipe under an outboard side of the Fire Island grating. Preferred position of overboard discharge pipe is vertical. Locate the pipe flange high enough from the ship's base line to effect positioning the handwheel of the attached overboard stop valves just under grating level allowing for handwheel travel. Provide adequate clearance above the discharge pipe to allow removal of the Monel insert.

11. All boiler blow piping downstream of boiler blow stop valves should slope so that the connection for the pipe to each drain valve is the lowest point in the boiler blow down system. Piping inboard of the guarding valve (or seachest stop-check, if single system) is to slope downward to the lateral takeoff to the same drain valve. This routing permits locating most boiler blow valve handwheels (overboard anglestop, overboard stop check, guarding valve) just under Fire Island grating level. Low point drain valves with tee wrench operators are permitted where valve handwheels can not be operated from grating level. All valves shall be provided with hinged grating plates for access, where applicable (provide locked-up feature, where applicable). 12. Where installed, locate pump-out valve with outlet above grating level. Include a 1 1/2" flange X 1 1/2" hose adaptor for boiler pump-out. Include a 1 1/2" hose X 3/4" reducing adaptor with cap for boiler boiling out. Utilize adaptors similiar to part numbers 36, 45 and 80 on BUSHIPS drawing DD931-S4823-1374503. Include a hole in cap for pressure relief. Where a drain valve is serving pump out functions, the above criteria applies, except for valve outlet location. 13. Locate take-off for boiler sample cooler connection in water drum pressure vessel piping just outside casing and upstream of stop valve. Utilize a standard branch connection fitting similar to fillet-reinforced fitting shown in MIL-STD-22, Joint P-70. Size fitting to suit existing sample line. 14. System pipe routing shall include a radial clearance of at least 1/2" all around the pipe to assure adjacent structure or piping does not restrain pipe movement. A greater clearance shall be specified on installation drawings when shown to be necessary by the stress analysis. 15. Pipe hangers shall be single type supports in general accordance with NAVSEA drawing 810-1385781 with Type I clamp and Type A or G attachment. The hanger fasteners shall be in accordance with Section 221, page 7, line 51-52. The hanger support rod shall be selected as follows: ("L" is the length of the support rod from ship's structure to pipe clamp half). a. If "L" is less than 20", use 1/4" sch. 40 carbon steel pipe, or 1/2" OD carbon steel solid round rod. b. If "L" is 20" or more, use 1/2" sch. 40 carbon steel pipe. (The Design agent may approve alternate hanger designs, if stress analysis and/or system arrangement dictates their need.) All hanger supports must be installed +5 deg. and +3 inches from specified drawing requirements. 16. Drain lines shall not discharge on boiler blow piping. Interfering piping (such as low pressure drain lines, high pressure gauge lines, fuel oil lines and fresh water drainage lines) shall not prevent good accessibility for operation and maintenance of boiler blowdown system valves. 17. The system material schedule is given in Table I. Monel elbows shall be excluded from this system to avoid high erosion rates associated with this fitting in this service. Monel tees may be used only for drain valve or pump out valve connections. 18. Provide label plates designating the functional service of all boiler blow down system valves. Include valve warning plates as specified below: For header valves and drain valves: - WARNING This valve not to be opened while burners are in operation. For pump out valves (or drain valves serving the same function). - WARNING This valve not to be opened while boiler is under pressure. 19. SHIPALT action should be considered where pressure vessel piping casing penetrations and/or pressure vessel stop valves can not be brought within the above guidelines in the normal course of repairs. 20. Joint design shall be as follows: MIL-STD-22, Joint P-14 socket weld (monel ppg) MIL-STD-22, Joint P-73 butt welds (C. steel ppg) Note: P-73 joint may be utilized in monel portion of piping in lieu of socket weld couplings to connect longer lengths of piping and to allow short tangents between pipe bends. 21. Monel piping shall not be painted. Carbon steel piping shall be painted with heat resisting aluminum paint. 22. Drawings shall be non deviation, fully dimensioned and detailed. A joint identification diagram shall be included. Adapt this diagram to specify locations and values of as built ultrasonic test readings. Piping routing tolerance shall be + 1/2". Drawings shall be approved by NAVSEA. Routing arrangement shall be stress analyzed per Section 505 and as follows: MPR Associates report no. 418 may be utilized as guidance for stress analysis. (Allowable stresses shall be per Section 505 in lieu of as stated in the report). Analysis shall consider the following loading modes (as applicable): a. Both boilers at operating conditions b. One boiler operating, other boiler secured

100% (of 120% rate) - for tightness of valves, gaskets, fittings and all old tube joints (rolled or welded). 125% (of 120% rate) - for tube replacement, after chemical cleaning, minor weld repairs and replacement of handhole or manhole plates furnished through stock system. 135% (of boiler design pressure) - for repair or replacement of drains, vents, blowdown piping, boiler piping and welded valves. 150% (of boiler design pressure) - for major weld repairs, renewal of downcomers, risers and superheater support tubes; and, as a result of unsatisfactory strength inspection at 5 year period, as listed in NSTM 221. All tests to be conducted at the same pressure shall be combined to avoid unnecessary repeated tests. Newly installed rolled tube joints are tested initially at 125%, each subsequent test is at 100%. Old rolled tube joints and new rolled tube joints, which have been re-rolled twice, are considered satisfactory if dampness but no leakage (i.e., weep, spray or trickle) is present at the joints. Boiler pressure should be applied for 15 minutes before tube joint tightness is evaluated. Test should last just long enough to accomplish the inspection. Testing outside boiler pressure boundary shall comply with requirements of Naval Ship's Technical Manual 0901-LP-480-0002 Chapter 9480 Piping Systems. The boiler shall be isolated from all hydrostatic tests conducted outside the boiler pressure boundary except when there is a specific need for the connecting boundary valve to be open for conduction of an effective test. Five Year Inspection for Strength and Integrity - Every five years the internal and external surfaces of all boiler welds and nozzle connections on drums, headers and external downcomers shall receive close visual inspection for integrity. Lagging should be removed, as necessary, for inspection. If considered necessary, the welds should be magnafluxed or examined by the liquid penetrant method. A hydrostatic test to 150% of the boiler design pressure is required if questionable areas are observed. Unless otherwise specified herein, operational, tightness and hydrostatic testing shall be as specified in Section 505. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in sections 092 and 094. 221s. Boiler Pressure Vessel Piping Propulsion Boilers - for boiler blow pressure vessel piping, use replacement criteria of Section 221n. For other pressure vessel piping 2 inches NPS and smaller, including sample cooler, drain and vent piping, use replacement criteria in Section 505, Table 13 for soot blower and high pressure steam drain piping, For piping greater than 2 inches NPS, use section 505b12 formula for new or modified systems with exception that additional thickness "A" will not be added to compensate for erosion and corrosion. Auxiliary and Waste Heat Boilers - for piping 2 1/2 inches NPS and smaller, minimum allowable wall thickness is 0.070 inch. For pipe 3 inches NPS and above, renewal is required when original (nominal) wall thickness is reduced below 50%. This 50% reduction shall not cause the wall thickness to go below the calculated thickness using Section 505b12 formula for new or modified systems (with omission of additional thickness "A"), or 0.070", whichever is greater.

In addition, at all other design conditions specified in Section 200 (such as full power and cruising speed), the blower design point shall be based on the delivery of 19.4 pounds of air at standard conditions, per pound of fuel specified in the heat balance. Port-use forced draft blowers - One motor-driven Navy standard centrifugal blower, Mil. Spec. MIL-F-19004, shall be installed for each boiler where light-off blowers are not specified. Blower rating shall be that of the nearest Navy standard blower that will furnish the combustion air required for smokeless operation based on heat balance calculations for the maximum at-anchor port condition, plus 25 percent capacity allowance to accommodate peak loads. Capacity calculations shall be based on the ratio of 19.4 pounds of air at standard conditions, per pound of fuel. Light-off forced draft blower - One motor-driven vane axial blower, Mil. Spec. MIL-F-18953, shall be installed for each boiler unless port-use blowers are specified. The blowers shall provide adequate air for smokeless operation for lighting-off and shall have no ventilation duty unless specifically permitted. 251c.2 Control of Blowers The blower controls shall be coordinated with the boiler combustion controls. Main forced draft blowers shall be controlled individually by a pneumatic system. If automatic control is not specified, a manual pneumatic system shall be installed, where in the air loading controls shall be located in the firing aisle in such position that the operator can adjust blower speed and fuel flow while simultaneously observing the smoke periscope.

Where automatic combustion control is installed, movement of the control lever shall be directly proportional to the automatic combustion control loading signal. For emergency control of blowers, a manual reach rod system shall be installed to actuate the throttle valve in the common steam line to the blowers on each boiler. This valve shall be operable by means of a handwheel located in such position that the operator may adjust blower speed while simultaneously observing the smoke periscope and adjusting the burner oil flow (see Section 221). 251c.3 Design of Forced Draft Systems The system shall furnish combustion air from weather inlets to the boilers by the most practicable direct path, commensurate with considerations of minimum pressure loss, space, removal of water, and arrangement of adjacent systems and equipment. Sharp bends and corners in ducts shall be held to a minimum, especially where high velocities will produce excessive pressure drop, turbulence, and noise. Internal air passages shall be smooth, with stiffening and structural members external to the air stream. Airborne noise propagated or created by the system shall be considered during the design stage, and acoustic absorptive treatment or other design or arrangement features employed to assure that noise level limits specified in Section 073 will not be exceeded. If, after installation, it is found that the forced draft system is the cause of the noise levels being exceeded, acoustic absorptive treatment shall be installed, or the system modified, to reduce noise to within the specified limits. Baffles or stiffeners internal to the boiler generating bank shall not be used to eliminate noise or vibration. The following shall be considered in designing the air path between the weather and the forced draft blower inlets: For forced draft air requirements at 120 percent of full power, a deduction shall be allowed for the total quantity of class W ventilation air that can be discharged into the forced draft system. For forced draft air requirements at 100 percent of full power, no deduction shall be allowed for any exhaust ventilation that can be discharged into the forced draft system. For the above conditions, velocities through openings shall not exceed: TYPE OF OPENING Ballistic deck Uptake enclosure Weather

VELOCITY (ft/min) 7,000 3,000 3,000

With forced draft blowers secured, all exhaust ventilation fans that can discharge to the weather, via the forced draft system, shall be considered to be operating at full capacity. The velocities in the air path shall be the maximum permitted by the available fan pressures. Strength and tightness of suction portions and trunks shall be sufficient to maintain the integrity of spaces through which they pass and shall be adequate to withstand the test pressure specified for the space. The tightness of the discharge portion shall withstand the maximum forced draft discharge air pressure. The strength and stiffness shall be such as to minimize vibration and prevent the tendency of ducts and trunks to pulsate. Ship structure shall not form a part of ducts. Where attachment of ducts is made to deck structure or ballistic plating (see Section 164), the connection shall be flexible enough to permit minor deflections of the supporting structure from any source, without causing damage to or rupture of the ducts. The installation shall provide clearances for inspection, maintenance, and repair of equipment installed adjacent to trunks. The minimum clearance of trunk surfaces opposite inlets to axial flow blowers shall be 1 1/2 times the blower rotor diameter. Trunks shall be fitted with access doors and constructed with sufficient clearance to permit removal of blower rotors of vertical axial blowers suspended in the machinery space below. A removable protective barrier screen of 1 1/2 inch galvanized steel wire mesh, 3/32 inch minimum diameter wire, shall be installed close to each blower inlet. This barrier screen shall not be installed directly on the inlet of axial blowers. Doors, hatches, dampers, or other features that could partially or completely cut off the air supply shall not be installed in the suction portion of trunks.

Material for ducts and trunks shall be aluminum, Fed. Spec. QQ-A-250/8, or zinc-coated sheet steel, Fed. Spec. QQ-S-775, or zinc-coated steel plate, Mil. Spec. MIL-S-22698. All seams and butts in ducts and trunks shall be continuously welded. Flanged connections shall be installed at connections to equipment and elsewhere to facilitate installation of the system and maintenance and repair of adjacent machinery, equipment, and structures. Connections between aluminum and dissimilar metals shall be gasketed to prevent direct contact. A flexible connection shall be installed at each blower discharge flange to prevent transmission of stresses to the blower. An automatic discharge shutter, Mil. Spec. MIL-S-18525, shall be installed at the discharge of each blower between the flexible connection and remainder of the discharge portion of the system. The weight of the shutter and discharge duct shall not be borne by the blower. 251d. Overhaul and Repair The repair and overhaul of equipment and components is intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and not necessarily intended to return overhauled items to the original manufacturer's drawing/technical manual tolerances. The Supervisor's Work Specification will identify the class of overhaul or specific repairs authorized for the item. Where applicable, the Supervisor's Work Specification will invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved Technical Repair Standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the equipment covered by this section shall be performed in accordance with the procedures provided in the applicable manufacturer's technical manual and NAVSHIPS 0901-530-0002, Chapter 9530. Requirements and definitions of class of overhaul (i.e., Class A, B) and the use of authorized Technical Repair Standards (TRS) is provided in Section 042. 251e. Shock Section 072 defines the requirements for shock as it relates to ship overhaul. 251f. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085. Other technical documentation requirements related to overhaul are specified in Section 800. 251g. Testing Requirements All blowers shall be operated to demonstrate specified capacity and pressure, operation of automatic shutters, governing devices, remote control, and other installed devices. Main forced draft blowers shall be tested to demonstrate that all blowers for a boiler will operate in parallel, i.e., within 300 r/min of each other. At least one port-use blower shall be operated at a condition simulating maximum at-anchor steaming rate to check for smokeless operation of the boiler, or a light-off blower shall be operated to demonstrate light-off where port-use blowers are not installed. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 253 STEAM SYSTEMS 253a. Scope This section contains inspection requirements for steam systems not contained in other GSO sections herein. 253b. General Steam system piping shall be arranged so that new or modified piping will not be overstressed due to thermal expansion. Level I material designations for new or modified steam systems shall be applicable to systems having a design temperature greater than 775°F or as specified in NAVSEA 0948-LP-045-7010. Branch supply lines shall be sized to assure that steam pressure at the inlet of the connected unit is sufficient to operate the unit at its maximum capacity. Each boiler shall have two-valve protection from any steam main common to other boilers. The valves shall be located close to the boiler. Where the steam flow is from the boiler to a common steam main, the valve farthest from the boiler shall incorporate a check feature. For soot blower installations the two valves are in addition to the valve which is furnished as an integral part of the soot blower head. A tell-tale connection shall be installed between these valves to relieve pressure leaking past one valve when both valves have been closed to isolate a boiler for repairs while other boilers are still on the line. Each test connection shall have two cutout valves and shall discharge to the bilge via an open funnel. Each branch line supplying steam to auxiliary machinery or equipment, from the main or auxiliary steam system, shall include a root valve and a control or throttle valve for two-valve isolation of each unit served. Where the control or throttle valve is not provided with means for positive manual closure, or where the valve is an integral part of the unit, an additional cutout valve shall be installed between the root valve and the throttle or control valve. Lines serving machinery, equipment, or systems outside machinery spaces shall have a cutout valve in the machinery space. Wherever practicable, branch lines shall be connected to the top or side of a main when carry over of condensate from the main would be detrimental to the connected machinery or equipment. Steam strainers shall be installed in supply piping to turbines, machinery, or components which would be affected by dirt or scale in the piping where protection is not provided by integral strainers. External desuperheaters, incorporating high temperature alarm, see Section 436, shall be installed where necessary to reduce steam temperature. Arrangement of soot blower piping shall comply with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 804-841336. Source of steam for this service shall be boiler pressure desuperheated steam. A drip pot shall be installed to permit accumulation of condensate from low points in piping likely to collect a considerable amount of condensate (such as in gland exhaust systems that are not selfdraining), and in the exhaust from a turbine to an overhead main. Drain and warm-up connections shall be installed directly on the piping for proper operation and warm-up of connected machinery and equipment. Drip pots shall be used in steam supply to auxiliary turbines wherever there is little or no superheat present in the steam supply, or wherever a standby operational service in a warmed up condition is specified. Steam injection shall not be used for heating except for heating water having the same quality as the boiler water. Connections to miscellaneous services (such as missile launcher heating) shall be provided with steam from the 50 lb/in2 or the 150 lb/in2 steam system. The boiler desuperheater leakage test connections shall be arranged as shown on drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 803-1385735.

Feedwater system - Unless otherwise specified, the new or modified feedwater system shall be designed to supply feedwater to the boilers or steam generators. Where feedwater coolers are required, they shall be in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-C-15730, type A, modified, capable of reducing the DFT effluent temperature 5 degrees F at rated full power and shall be installed between the DFT and the feed booster pumps. The coolant shall be condensate. No valves shall be installed in the piping connected to the cooler. Omission of the cooler water boxes is acceptable if the cooler proportions permit it being installed in the feed line without them. The pressure drop of the DFT effluent through the cooler shall not exceed 0.75 lb/in2 at rated full power. An orifice plate furnished with the DFT shall be installed in the DFT vent line discharging to the gland exhaust system. For use in purging the tank during initial start-up; a gate valve of the same size as the line containing the orifice shall be installed in a branch line discharging to the atmosphere and located between the DFT and the orifice. The system shall normally supply feed water to the boilers by the use of feed booster pumps operating in series with main feed pumps. All booster pumps in a space shall have a common suction main. The discharge piping from these pumps shall be arranged so that any booster pump can discharge to any main feed pump in the space. The main feed pump low suction pressure cutout devices shall be set for sequential stopping of the feed pumps. The range between successive cutout pressures shall be the maximum practicable. For ships having 1,200 lb/in2 steam systems, designated main feed booster pumps in each machinery space shall also take emergency suction through a common connection from the elevated emergency feed water tanks. Each booster pump motor shall be provided with a start-stop push button control and, in addition, shall have the means to start the pump automatically (lined up for emergency suction) when the feed booster pump discharge header pressure falls to approximately 10 lb/in2 higher than the highest main feed pump cutout pressure setting. Pushbutton control of the pump shall be both local and remote from the associated enclosed operating station or the control station. A warning shall be provided to indicate that the booster pumps are drawing suction from the emergency feed tank. Feed discharge system shall be installed so that any feed pump in the space can discharge to any boiler in the space. Main feed pumps shall discharge to the boiler drums via the main feed discharge main. A stopcheck valve and a gate valve shall be provided in each feed pump discharge. A feed water regulator, a stop-check and stop valve, the economizer, and a lift-check valve shall be the component arrangement in the feed piping to each boiler. The boiler feed stop-check and stop valve may be combined into one manifold casting. Both valves shall have handwheels, the stop-check valve having remote operating gear from the firing aisle. The feed water regulator shall be installed near the check station so that it is conveniently accessible for manual control from the upper level at the boiler front. The check station shall be arranged so that the boiler drum gage glass can be seen clearly when feed regulation is manually controlled. Recirculating lines from the pump discharge to the DFT and condensate main (for emergency use when the DFT is by-passed) shall be installed for main feed pumps and for main feed booster pumps. In the order named, a pressure breakdown device (where required), stop-check valve locked in the check position, and a locked-open cutout valve at the DFT and a locked-closed cutout valve at the condensate main shall be installed in recirculating lines. Recirculating lines from similar service pumps shall be combined downstream of their stop check valves. For recirculation services such as main feed pumps where the pressure drop across the pressure breakdown device is greater than 100 lb/in2, a multiple orifice type of fitting shall be used to avoid the rapid wear that would be expected with a single orifice plate. For services where noise avoidance is a consideration, a frictional throttling device shall be used. A strainer shall be installed upstream of these pressure breakdown devices if the clear through area is less than 1/8 inch in diameter. The design of all devices shall be such as to facilitate inspection and maintenance. If required by the design, feed pumps serving 1200 lb/in2 steam generating plants shall have automatic recirculating valves, including a reducing orifice. Where automatic controls are used, a flow metering orifice shall be installed in the pump discharge. Pressure breakdown device and automatic recirculating valve size shall permit flow sufficient to prevent overheating the pump when the pump is operating at full capacity with a discharge valve closed. In no case shall the size be made less than 5 percent of the flow at full capacity of the pump.

Main feed pump glands requiring cooling shall be condensate cooled. An orifice shall be installed to limit the coolant flow to the pump manufacturer requirements. The suction side of each feed booster pump casing shall be vented to the top of the DFT. A cutout valve shall be installed in each vent line. Vent lines from two or more booster pumps shall be combined. If main feed pumps have suction vent connections, each vent shall have a cutout valve and piping led to the bilge. Main feed pump suction piping shall be provided with a relief valve to prevent overpressurization of piping between the booster and feed pumps. For diesel ships having auxiliary boilers, a reserve feed tank shall be provided. The tank shall be located and the piping shall be arranged so that make-up feed to the boiler feed and drain tank is supplied automatically by gravity. The reserve feed tank water for make-up feed shall be supplied from the distiller. In an emergency, the supply of feed water shall be provided from the potable water system via a hose connection. The tank shall have a vent, overflow to the bilge, a local level indicator, and a riser to the weather. A port and starboard main deck fitting shall be connected to the riser and shall be provided with a 2 1/2 inch hose connection and a 1 1/2 inch adapter. A valved hose connection shall be provided on the riser for returning shore steam drains. The reserve feed tank for auxiliary boilers shall have a minimum capacity of 150 percent of the boiler water capacity. The attached boiler feed pumps shall take suction from the feed and drain tank (normally) and from the reserve feed tank (during an emergency) and discharge to the associated boilers. If an auxiliary boiler is used on steam powered ships, the auxiliary boiler feed pump shall take suction from the DFT or from the fresh water drain pump discharge. The discharge side of the reserve feed suction-discharge manifolds shall have stop valves. The suction side of the manifolds shall have stop-check valves. See Section 505 for heights of tailpipes above bottoms of tanks. A relief valve shall be installed at each reserve feed tank. It shall be set below the test head pressure of the tank corrected for elevation of the relief valve above or below the tank top, and shall be sized for the maximum flow which could possibly discharge into its associated tank. The relief valve discharge shall be led to the bilge in a location so that flow can be easily observed from the normal walking areas. For boilers operating at 600 lb/in2 and less, the emergency feed and transfer pumps shall be reciprocating type, supplying feed water at high pressure to the boiler feed discharge main. They shall also discharge feed water at lower pressure to the reserve feed transfer main. Pumps shall take suction from the DFT and from the suction discharge manifold serving the reserve feed tanks associated with the same propulsion plant. The net positive suction head shall be sufficient to prevent flashing when taking hot suction. A relief valve shall be installed at the pump suction and in the discharge to the boiler feed and reserve feed transfer systems. A recirculating line shall be installed from the pump discharge to the pump suction, to permit idling the pump in standby condition. An alternative method may be provided for transfer and filling of reserve feed for 1200 lb/in2 steam systems, which would eliminate the need for a transfer pump. The method would be to transfer feed water from reserve feed tanks to emergency feed tanks by pressurizing the reserve feed water storage tanks, with 15 lb/in2 air, from the ship service air system via a reducing station. Transfer of feedwater from the emergency feed tanks to reserve feed tanks shall be by gravity. Reserve feed tanks shall be assigned to withstand the required operating pressure. For boilers operating at 1,200 lb/in2, centrifugal type emergency feed booster and transfer pumps shall be provided and shall discharge to the reserve feed transfer main, to their associated emergency feed tanks, and to their associated main feed pump suction main. Where required by the pump manufacturer, a recirculating line, similar to that specified for main feed booster pumps, shall be installed. Pumps shall be capable of taking suction from the DFT, the emergency feed tank, and the suction discharge manifold serving the reserve feed associated with the propulsion plant. The pumps shall have a 1 1/2 inch nominal pipe size hose valve at their suction for pumping out the main boilers and a similar size hose valve at their discharge for filling the boilers and for general washdown service. Pumps shall also discharge to the condensate system so that water in the DFT can be recirculated during the warm-up period, or tanks filled for initial start-up. The warm-up line shall be arranged so that pumps can add make-up feed without affecting normal operation of the feed system. For ships having a pure water system, a connection shall be provided to supply reserve feed water (not to exceed 120 degrees F) to the distillate supply to the pure demineralized water system. A locked-closed valve shall be provided in this supply connection. The reserve feed transfer main shall be connected to all pump discharges and to the discharge side of all suction discharge manifolds serving reserve feed tanks. The transfer system shall have risers to the weather deck to permit discharge

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 256 MACHINERY SEAWATER CIRCULATING WATER AND COOLING WATER SYSTEMS 256a. Scope This section contains requirements for machinery seawater circulating and cooling water systems not contained in other GSO sections, herein. 256b. General The total number of thermometers in a space shall be the minimum number to indicate seawater inlet temperature under any machinery operating condition. However, when all equipment in a space is supplied with seawater from only one source, only one thermometer need be installed. Thermometers shall be installed downstream of all heat exchangers. A pipe line strainer shall be installed in any seawater cooling system wherever the seachest strainer perforation area is equal to or greater than the cross-sectional area of the smallest flow path in that system. Should this result in an excessively large strainer size, basket perforations may be sized for protection of major components in the system (such as heat exchangers), and additional strainers installed upstream of orifices, pressure regulating valves or other components with small flow passages. These strainers shall not be installed on the suction side of pumps. In all other cases, attempts shall first be made to size components adequately so that strainers are unnecessary. Duplex strainers shall be installed for cooling systems supplying turbine generator heat exchangers and other components which cannot be conveniently secured for cleaning of simplex strainers. Installation of seawater duplex strainer shall include a positive indication showing which strainer compartment is on duty. The total clear area of basket perforations, including liner, if installed, shall be not less than 2 1/2 times the area of the strainer discharge connection. In order to avoid rapid and unnecessary clogging of strainers, strainer perforations shall not be smaller than one half the size of the smallest flow path served. A pressure reducing station shall be installed where a firemain supplies a circulating or cooling water system or component designed to operate at a lower pressure. Where the components in the lower pressure system are designed to withstand firemain pressure, the reducing station shall consist of a Y-type strainer, a pressure reducing valve or orifice assembly (for A/C auxiliary seawater system) and a pressure gage. Where the components in the lower pressure system are not designed to withstand the higher pressure, a relief valve shall also be installed downstream of the reducing valve. In normally manned spaces, the relief valve shall discharge to the bilge. Relief valves discharging to the bilge shall not be installed in a normally unmanned space or any other space where damage or flooding could occur due to discharge from the valve. Where the firemain supply has to be connected in a space where discharge from a relief valve could cause damage or flooding, the lower pressure system shall be designed to withstand firemain pressure and the relief valve omitted. Unless otherwise specified for a particular application, emergency supply from the firemain or other source shall fully meet the demands of the system or equipment it serves. A pressure gage and stop-check valve shall be installed in the discharge of the normal seawater circulating pump, upstream of the emergency connection from the firemain. The design or calculated pressure drop through main turbine lubricating oil coolers, and through turbo-generator lubricating oil and air coolers (including their respective circulating water piping), for any operating condition shall not exceed the pressure drop through its associated condenser under the same operating conditions. Unless otherwise specified for a particular application, high points in piping or equipment in surface ships, where air could accumulate, shall have local valved vents. Vent and drain lines from the void space between the inner and outer tube sheets on heat exchangers of the double tube sheet type shall have provision for blanking for use in testing for tube sheet failure. The seawater discharge from coolers shall be combined, except as noted herein, and led overboard via an overboard discharge connection. Rubber expansion joints shall be per ASTM F1123 and shall be installed to meet the criteria specified in NSTM Chapter 505. Surface ship sea valves, 16 inches and above, shall have electric motor power assist for both opening and closing. The valve operator shall be located at the propulsion unit operating level and shall operate the valve through rigid tubular shafting and operating gear conforming to the requirements of Section 505. The motor operator controller shall be watertight and powered from two power sources in accordance with Section 320. The controller and associated power and control cabling shall be located at or above the propulsion unit operating level. Closure time from full open to full closed shall be at a minimum rate of 12 in/min, and opening speed shall not exceed 25 percent of the closing speed. Power assist shall be by means of a self-contained unit and shall not require any operation prior to closing of the valve other than routine exercising of the valve. The valve operator and external electrical connections to the operator shall be capable of 25 feet of water submergence for a period of 48 hours without leakage into the valve operator.

Scope This section contains requirements for overhaul, repair, modification and installation of combustion air and exhaust systems for diesel engines and gas turbine engines. 259b. General The design and arrangement of the systems shall minimize pressure drop or back pressure, turbulence, noise and shipping of water or spray, including countermeasure washdown water, at weather openings. The systems shall be designed and supported to prevent stress loading of the flexible connections and expansion joints. The design shall also minimize the transfer of vibration to the supporting structure and withstand stresses induced by weight, thermal expansion, engine vibration, working of the ship, and pressure thrust caused by the exhaust gas and intake air. Sound absorbing materials shall be used to reduce noise created or propagated by the systems to the levels specified in Section 073. Flexible metal hose or expansion joints shall be used at the engine air intakes and exhaust outlets, and elsewhere as required for flexibility. The method of connecting the expansion joints to the engine shall be as recommended by the engine manufacturer. The systems, including air filters, mufflers, water traps and valves, shall not impose a pressure drop or back pressure which will exceed the acceptable values as specified in the engine specifications (see Section 502). Mufflers shall be as specified in the referenced specifications for the diesel engines. Air and gas passages shall be airtight. The internal surface of ducting shall be as smooth as practicable with strengthening members on the external surface. Where ducts are large enough to permit entry of personnel for inspection and maintenance, access openings with removable cover plates shall be installed. Ducts too small to permit entry of personnel shall be provided with openings and removable cover plates at the ends of horizontally installed sections for clean out. The systems shall be provided with drains at the low points. Collected drainage shall be led overboard, where possible, or to a drain tank, or to the bilge. 259c. New Installations and Modifications Combustion air system Combustion air shall be ducted from the weather directly to the engine. Diesel engine - The system shall be designed to prevent the collapse of the ducting due to blockage of the weather inlet or air filter. The ducting shall be constructed over its entire length to withstand the maximum vacuum, which can be produced by the engine, without collapse. An alternate air supply shall be provided to permit continued uninterrupted operation of the engine in the event of blockage in the combustion air system. This shall be accomplished by installing a vacuum breaker between the air filter and the engine sized to supply combustion air from an alternate source for rated engine load. This alternate supply may come from the diesel engine space or from a separate ducting system from the weather directly to the engine. Taking combustion air from the space is acceptable only if there is a sufficient supply available from the ventilation ducting and the normal design velocity and pressure limitations for ventilation systems are not exceeded under any conditions of the ventilation system or diesel engine operation (see Section 512).

If the brake horsepower of the driven equipment does not coincide with a standard motor rating, the next larger standard rating shall be used. If the horsepower requirement is less than 2.0 and if there is a possibility of unpredictably high frictional load because of improper adjustment of the driven auxiliary, the horsepower requirement shall be multiplied by a factor of: 1.5 - horsepower requirement 4 Enclosures - The types of enclosures used for motors, controllers and brakes shall comply with the requirements of Section 300. On motors driving pumps, the direction of circulation of air through the motor shall be such that air is not drawn in from the pump end. However, air intakes which provide air flow at right angles to the shaft, at the pump end, are satisfactory. If right angle air intakes are used, there shall be no openings in the motor end bracket which provide air flow in a direction parallel to the shaft and a slinger with guard shall be provided on the motor shaft immediately outside the end bracket to prevent entrance of water into the bearing housing. The guard is not required where the slinger and bracket design is such that no injury to personnel would result and no water would enter the bearing housing. Axial clearance between the bracket and the slinger shall not exceed 0.03 inch. Ambient temperature - Motors, controllers, and brakes shall comply with the ambient temperature requirements of the applicable purchase specifications and the location requirements in the ship. See Section 300. Duty - Motors suitable or rated for continuous duty shall be used for all applications which require operation for unrestricted periods of time at constant load. This classification shall also include motors and controllers which may operate intermittently but for which the operating cycle may be unpredictable. Motors and controllers suitable or rated for intermittent or varying duty shall be used for all applications which require operation for unrestricted periods of time at reduced loads with only occasional peak loads. Motors and controllers suitable or rated for short time duty shall be used for applications which require operation at either constant or varying load for a definite restricted time period which is followed by a long enough rest period to permit the motor to cool. Speed - Motors shall be designed to meet the speed requirements of the driven auxiliary. When speeds are not obtainable with standard motors, motors with reduction gear units shall be used. Service classification - Motors shall be Navy Service A or C and classified according to the service conditions of operation as follows: 1. Navy Service A applies to motors essential to the military effectiveness of the ship. 2. Navy Service C applies to motors not essential to the military effectiveness of the ship. A.c. motors - Motors shall be selected to have locked rotor currents as low as practicable to keep voltage fluctuations on the distribution system to a minimum and to permit the maximum use of acrossline starting. A.c. motors shall be selected to operate at 60 hertz. Motors rated 5 kVA or higher shall have a 440-volt, 3-phase, a.c. rating. Where practical, motors rated less than 5 kVA shall also have a 440-volt, 3-phase, a.c. rating. Where such a rating is not practical, the following shall be the order of preference: 440 volt, single-phase

115 volt, 3-phase 115 volt, single-phase The use of single-phase a.c. motors shall be limited to motors with ratings of 1/4 hp or less, except where required herein or where the equipment purchase specifications require single-phase motors of larger ratings. A.c. types, 3-phase - Three-phase squirrel cage induction motors shall be used for applications that require essentially constant speed (low slip), or some variation of speed versus load (high slip), or multispeed characteristics. Three-phase wound rotor induction motors shall be used for applications that require adjustable-varying speeds and wherever higher starting torques at lower starting currents than those obtainable with squirrel cage motors are required. Where varying, adjustable, or adjustable-varying speed characteristics are required, a collector ring starting and running winding with an external variable continuous duty type resistor shall be used. Three-phase synchronous motors shall be used for applications that require constant speed or where power system power factor correction is required. D.c. motors - The speed-torque characteristics as modified by the control equipment shall be adequate for the proper performance of the driven auxiliary. The current and speed range of the motor, particularly under weak field conditions, shall not exceed the values which can be commutated satisfactorily and shall not produce excessive wear and maintenance of the commutator. Series motors shall be connected to driven auxiliaries so that the load cannot be readily removed. Controllers - Standard ratings of controllers shall be used in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-C-2212. Controllers shall be manual or magnetic, depending on the required features such as type of protection, performance, whether integral or remote control, and on the rating of the motor controlled. Manual controllers shall be limited to applications of 7-1/2 hp and less. Controllers intended for repeated-jogging service requiring interruption of starting current shall be suitably derated. Magnetic controllers shall be used for applications that require automatic performance. Controllers shall be provided with protective features as determined by the requirements of the driven auxiliary and in accordance with the following: Low voltage protection (LVP) shall be provided where one or more of the following protective features is desired: Prevention of overloading the electrical system by excessive motor starting currents upon return of voltage. Prevention of damage to driven auxiliaries. Prevention of injury to operating personnel. Low voltage release (LVR) shall be provided wherever it is necessary to have immediate automatic restarting upon return of voltage after a voltage failure, as on vital auxiliaries. Manual type controllers may be used where the starting current limitation protective feature of LVP is not necessary and where so doing results in smaller and lighter equipment. The use of controllers of the LVR type shall be limited, in order to avoid excessive starting currents when a group of motors with LVR controllers restart automatically upon return of voltage after voltage failure. Overload protection shall be provided in controllers for motors 1/8 hp and larger. Short-circuit protection shall comply with Section 303 and, in general, shall be provided by the supply circuit breaker or fuse. Normally, the master control shall be located at the system control station with the master switch located adjacent to the associated motor. Where this is not feasible, and indication of the operating condition of the auxiliary is necessary, the master switch shall be located in the vicinity of an available indicator, such as a pressure gage. An indicator light shall be provided at the master switch in those cases where it is necessary to indicate the operating condition of the auxiliary and the master switch is not located at the system control station or at an available indicator. Electrical interlocks - Emergency run features shall be provided in controllers as required herein or by the purchase specifications for the auxiliary machinery. A.c. controllers - Full voltage starting a.c. controllers for across-line starting shall be used for all applications where practicable. Controllers shall be selected on the basis of the starting characteristics of the motor, the effects of voltage dips resulting from starting currents on the distribution system, the torque, and mechanical requirements of the drive. Controllers shall be selected so that voltage dip on the ship service power distribution system, with a single generator supplying the load, shall not exceed the following values, under motor starting conditions: Motor-driven auxiliaries, which in normal operation may start several times an hour, shall not produce a voltage dip at the ships service switchboard in excess of 10 percent. This requirement shall also apply to machinery auxiliaries which start frequently during high speed maneuvers. Motor-driven auxiliaries supplied from a load center, which also supplies other than motor loads, shall not produce a voltage dip greater than 18 percent at the load center. Motor-driven auxiliaries, which in normal operation may start several times a day, shall not produce a voltage dip at the ship service switchboard in excess of 18 percent. This is the maximum permissible voltage dip at the ship service switchboard. Any motor, which may start only a few times a day, shall not produce a voltage dip greater than 23 percent at the load center from which other motors are supplied. A group of motors, which automatically restarts upon reclosing a feeding breaker, shall not produce a voltage dip greater than 30 percent at the panel from which supplied, or a dip which will prevent supplying the starting torque requirements of the most remote motor. (Note: The above percentages are based on the nominal utilization voltage.)

Loads required to be supplied from an emergency generator in the event of failure of the ship service system, such as category I loads (see Section 320), shall not produce a voltage dip greater than 23 percent at the emergency switchboard. If it is determined that a reduced voltage starting controller is necessary to meet the voltage dip requirements herein, the voltage drop shall be recalculated using the reduced voltage starting controller characteristics. This data shall be included on the Power System Design Drawing. An acceptable method of determining transient voltage dips is given in Design Data Sheet DDS 311-2. Where reduced voltage starters are used, closed transition controllers of the primary resistor, primary reactor, or auto-transformer types are preferred. D.c. controllers - Across-line d.c. controllers shall be used only with motors rated 1/2 hp and smaller. When specifically approved, across-line starting may be used with larger ratings. Resistor and adjustable voltage d.c. controllers shall be used for all applications where across-line controllers are not permitted and shall provide smooth acceleration and deceleration of the load with the minimum of accelerating steps. Where d.c. motors are subjected to overhauling loads, the controller shall be provided with suitable dynamic braking arrangements to obtain, in conjunction with the electric brake, smooth and safe stopping of the load.

After alignment, each motor shall be positioned on its bedplate or foundation by heavy dowel pins to facilitate realignment after removal for repair. Where dowel pins are not practicable, fitted motor mounting bolts shall be used. Fractional horsepower motor mounting bases or brackets may have elongated bolt holes to facilitate alignment unless otherwise specified in the individual auxiliary equipment specifications. Controllers and master switches shall be located in sight of and as near as practicable to the associated motors. Where remote location of controllers is desirable, local master switches shall be used where practicable. 302e. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085. Other technical documentation requirements related to overhaul are specified in Section 800. 302f. Repair and Overhaul. The repair and overhaul of systems, equipment, and components are intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and are not necessarily intended to return overhauled items to the original manufacturer's drawing or technical manual tolerances. The Supervisor's Work Specification shall identify the class of overhaul authorized for the item.

The voltage and frequency monitor (VFM3) at the generator shall trip the generator circuit breaker. The voltage monitor (VM3) or (VM1) at the load shall trip the circuit breaker that will disconnect the load. In those cases where the line voltage regulators are supplied from automatic bus transfer switches (ABT), the voltage monitor (VM3 or VM1) shall be connected such that the under voltage trip is defeated and only overvoltage protection is provided.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Electronic, interior communication and weapons control systems - Voltage drop values shall be calculated by the methods used for power systems. The allowable voltage drop for cable interconnecting various units of related systems equipment shall be as required by the specific system. Conductors in multi-conductor cables shall not be paralleled to obtain current carrying capacity. Paralleling of conductors will be permitted to meet the voltage drop limitations. When paralleling of conductors is required in pair or triad type cables used for synchro, resolver or scale voltage circuits, the circuit arrangement specified in paragraph 304d shall be maintained. However, the total current carried shall not exceed the maximum current rating of the smallest of the paralleled conductors. Where conductors are paralleled or the conductor size is increased over that required for current carrying capacity to meet voltage drop limitations, the Supervisor shall be advised of these changes and their effects on Government-furnished equipment. When inputs to systems are provided by special power conversion equipment, the voltage drop values should be minimized as is practicable by suitable cable selection to meet the specific requirements of the applied loads. Aircraft starting and servicing systems - The permissible voltage drop values used as the basis for determining cable size for d.c. aircraft starting systems (including helicopter starting systems) shall be as furnished by NAVAIR. For low voltage d.c. servicing systems the cables from the power supply to the deck edge receptacle shall be sized so that the total voltage drop for the system (including the voltage drop in the portable cable) will permit the voltage at the terminals of the aircraft to be maintained between 25 and 29 volts for all conditions of load. Spare cable capacity - To provide for load growth or system expansion, cables shall be selected to have additional capacity as follows: Power system cables - For power system cables, a spare current allowance equal to that required for the spare circuit breakers installed on power distribution panels or load centers shall be provided. The current allowance for the spare circuit breakers shall be consistent with the average loading of the active circuit breakers, disregarding the largest load on the panel or load center. For a.c. circuits, the spare load component of the total connected load shall be calculated at a power factor of 0.85. Lighting system cables - No load allowance shall be made for spare switches. Voltage drop, rather than current carrying capacity, shall be the base for determining cable size. Voltage drop calculations shall be based on the total connected load. Location of cable runs - Location and arrangement of cable runs shall provide circuit trunking as direct as practicable avoiding physical interferences with piping and ventilation ducts. Spaces considered harmful to cable including voids at the aft end of aircraft catapults or subject to explosion hazards shall be avoided. Cableways shall be arranged so that ventilation will be adequate for maintaining the minimum practicable temperature of cables within the cableway. Cableways shall be located so that cables will not be disturbed by disassembly or removal of machinery. Main fore-and-aft cableways shall be located port and starboard, and high and low in the ship; the lower cableways shall be through the machinery spaces and corresponding platform decks, the upper cableways under the main deck. This is to provide a quadrangular pattern to allow maximum athwartship and vertical separation of cables to loads requiring two sources of power for systems requiring alternate reliability circuits. For example, a ship service power feeder in the lower starboard cableway should have its complementary emergency or alternate feeder in the upper port cableway. Vertical cable runs shall be organized on the basis of fore-and-aft or athwartship separation. Cables supplying emergency diesel generator seawater booster pumps shall be run in the same compartment with, and as close as practicable to, but shall not be attached to the water piping connecting the pump to the diesel engine. The main runs of interior communication and weapons control system cables shall, in general, follow the cable runs of the lighting and power installations. Interior communication and weapons control cables for circuits having several interrelated main and interrelated auxiliary circuits shall be run so that main circuits including normal power supply will be in one group and auxiliary circuits including alternate power supply will be in another group. Where equipment is controlled from more than one location, the control cabling from each location to the equipment shall be installed in separate wireways. Cables shall not be exposed to the weather except where they penetrate a deck or bulkhead to supply equipment. Cables exposed to the weather shall be kept to a minimum. Where possible, cables to equipment on masts, staffs, macks, and yardarms shall be installed within masts, staffs, macks, and yardarms. Use of recessed electrical boxes shall be maximized to reduce exposure of cables to the weather. Refer to Section 406 for additional requirements for EMP protected ships. Grounding and shielding - Cable armor and shields shall be grounded in accordance with the requirements of MIL-STD-1310 and DOD-STD-2003. Certain cables in the electric or weapons control systems will require special shielding or grounding not covered by the above. These special requirements will be indicated on drawings furnished by NAVSEA. Shielded cables shall be installed for 400-hertz synchro circuits. Shielded cables shall be installed for shielded circuits shown on drawings between units of NAVSEA equipment, and the associated weapons control or interior communication switchboards. Where shielded type cable is shown on these drawings between weapons control switchboards and units of NAVSEA equipment, shielded type

Shields shall be treated as another conductor, and shall be made continuous throughout the length of the cable run by means of connections in terminal boxes and other equipment. At terminal boards in equipment, wiring fittings, and switchboards, shielding shall not be stripped off where the cable enters the unit, but shall be carried to within 3 inches of the terminals or closer when specified by the equipment manufacturer. The shielding shall be insulated, if necessary, to prevent touching other terminals. Cable segregation for interference reduction (Radar and Sonar) Radar modulator pulse cables shall be physically separated by at least 18 inches from all other cables, except at the points of entrance to the modulator or transmitter. Sonar system cable separation and shielding shall be in accordance with publication, S940-AB-HBK-010. Secure electrical processing system cable separation and shielding shall be as specified in Section 402. Magnetic effects - Degaussing cable installations shall comply with the requirements of Section 475 and DOD-STD-2003. Spacing and arrangement of direct current cables shall be such as to reduce to a minimum undesirable extraneous magnetic fields which would reduce the effectiveness of the degaussing system. This requirement applies especially to cables carrying heavy currents, such as minesweeping cables on minesweepers. Cables in the vicinity of magnetic compasses shall be installed to comply with Section 070. Cable lug terminals - Cable lug terminals shall be installed on each connected conductor. Two-hole types shall be used where there is a possibility of a lug turning under the terminal screw and making contact with an adjacent terminal lug.

304e. Installation Requirements Standard methods of installation shown on DOD-STD-2003 shall be used. Cables installed through error or rendered useless as a result of modifications shall be removed. Vacated and unused penetrations shall be sealed by methods which satisfy the tightness requirements of the structure penetrated. When it is necessary to route six (6) or fewer cables in an existing cableway and the cableway is already or will be placed in an over crowded condition as defined in DOD-STD-2003, a written waiver shall be submitted to SUPSHIPS Chief Engineer or Naval Shipyard Chief Engineer requesting permission to deviate from requirements of DOD-STD-2003. Copies to the waivers shall be forwarded to NAVSEA, Code 56Z, for information. Cable slack requirements - Cables shall be installed so that sufficient slack exists to allow for deflection of bulkheads. Sag between hangers shall be uniform for each row of cables so that clearance between rows will be the same throughout the cable runs. Where cables spread out to enter bulkhead stuffing tubes, bends shall have liberal sweep to provide as much flexibility as practicable. Cables having only a minimum spread where they pass through bulkhead stuffing tubes shall have enough slack to give them the same flexibility as other cables in the group. Cables from switchboards or other electric equipment shall enter cableways in a curve of sufficient radius to prevent transmission of stresses to the equipment during severe cableway deflection. Cables crossing expansion joints, such as those under the flight deck and gallery deck of aircraft carriers, shall have slack allowance at such points at least equal to the maximum movement of the expansion joints. Installation of cables on the overhead and on bulkheads - The installation of cables on the overhead and on bulkheads shall comply with NAVSEA standard methods. Cables for vital systems such as interior communication and weapons control systems shall not be secured to the overhead, or to shell planking or shell plating, or to ballistic bulkheads if other locations are found practicable. Cable hangers shall be bracketed away from deck and bulkhead surfaces in food handling and food storage spaces to permit spraying for insect control.

When cables are installed beneath gratings, where they would be exposed to dirt accumulation, dripping water or oil, they shall be protected by drip covers. These protective covers shall be spaced away from the cables so as not to restrict ventilation. Cables entering propulsion system equipment from above or from the sides shall enter through stuffing tubes and shall be braced and secured to prevent dislodgment under vibration, shock, and magnetics stresses. The ends of propulsion system cables 9,000 circular mils and larger shall be sealed with solderless waterseal type lug terminals. 304g. Handling and Stowage All cable except portable and flexible (repeated flexing service) types and silicone rubber insulated type of Mil. Spec. MIL-C-24643 shall be given the following special handling at temperatures below 35 degrees F: If the compartment in which the cable is to be installed cannot be heated, the cable shall first be stored in an ambient temperature of at least 50 degrees F but not above 120 degrees F until it is warm enough to be completely installed before it cools to 35 degrees F. If cable must be installed when its temperature is 35 degrees F or lower, extra care will be required. The radius of bends shall be no shorter than necessary and never less than the minimum values in the Cable Comparison Handbook HDBK-299(SH). Before bending to the final radius, that portion of the cable comprising the bend shall be warmed thoroughly by a portable warm air blower. Cable shall be stored in a dry place which is not subject to accidental flooding, protected from the weather, and subjected to a minimum variation of temperature. Cable that has been in storage for prolonged periods may be installed provided a visual inspection shows that it has sustained no mechanical damage that would impair the watertight integrity of its outer sheath. Cable armor showing signs of corrosion shall be cleaned and a coat of zinc chromate primer applied to all corroded areas. 304h. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085.

For multiple cable penetrations of decks and bulkheads (main cableways) individual cable tags can be omitted and, in lieu thereof, an identification plate shall be installed adjacent to the cableway penetration area showing each cable designation in the order of location in the penetration area. Power and lighting cables - The designation of power and lighting cables shall consist of three parts in sequence separated by hyphens: source, voltage, service, and destination. In lieu of the destination, an alpha or alpha-numeric designator shall be substituted for cables connected to distribution boxes and for cables supplying power-consuming equipment. For cables that have normal and alternate or an emergency feeder, the source designation shall contain, first the source of the normal feed and second, separated by a slant line, the designation of the source of the alternate or emergency feed; for example: 1S/2S, 1S/1E. Generator cables - For the purpose of designating the source on power cables between generators and switchboards, generators shall be given numbers (these numbers are for generator cable marking purposes only and shall not appear on the generator label plate). If only one generator supplies a switchboard, the generator shall have the same number as that of the switchboard plus the letter G. Thus: 1SG denotes one ship service generator that supplies one ship service switchboard. If more than one generator supplies a switchboard, the first generator determined in accordance with the general rule of paragraph 305d shall have the letter "A" immediately following the designation; the second generator that supplies the switchboard shall have the letter B, and this procedure shall be continued for all generators that supply the switchboard, then repeated for succeeding switchboards (thus, 1SGA and 1SGB denote two ship service generators that supply one ship service switchboard). Cables with alpha or alpha-numeric designators - Cables to power consuming equipment shall receive a single letter designator, beginning with A and progressing through the alphabet for each succeeding piece of power consuming equipment supplied from the same distribution. The designator for cables connected to distribution boxes shall consist of alternately, a letter, a number, a letter and a number, progressively every time that it is fused. The designator shall not be changed on single circuits which branch from a terminal box or fixture, although a suffix number in parenthesis indicating the cable section shall be added to the designator. Cable service designation - The following letters shall be used to designate the various cable services:

If the results of any of the following tests are unsatisfactory and if they cannot be satisfactorily corrected, the matter shall be referred to the Supervisor. Motor-generators - Shipboard testing of motor-generator sets shall be performed after installation or overhaul. Data shall be recorded on forms provided by the Contractor. Testing shall be conducted, when possible, using load boxes (capable of providing real and reactive load) tied to the generator output breaker and isolated from the ship's bus. Shop tests, in addition to ship tests, shall be conducted on equipment removed from the ship including motor-generators, starters and regulators. Performance data taken in the shop is not required to be repeated on board the ship, however, as a minimum, a 1-hour operational test with available ships loads shall be performed on board the ship. Air gaps shall be taken at completion of equipment overhaul prior to testing. Pre-startup tests - Measure the insulation resistance of the motor rotor and stator, generator rotor and stator, exciter rotor and stator if applicable, voltage regulator, frequency regulator if applicable, motor controller, and the generator field rheostat if applicable, in accordance with the method described in Section 300. Turn the motor-generator set shaft by hand to ensure that it turns freely.

Frame temperatures of generator and motor All bearing temperatures Ambient temperature Motor voltage Motor amps Motor kW (if available) Voltage and frequency regulation test - Unit shall be adjusted to rated voltage and frequency (when applicable) at no load. Unit shall be loaded in 20 percent increments to full load or maximum available output and back down to no load. Voltage shall be maintained by the automatic voltage regulator within a band of + 5 percent (types I and II) or + 1/2 percent (type III) of rated voltage. Where units are frequency regulated, the automatic regulator shall provide + 5 percent (type I and II) or + 1/2 percent (type III) of rated frequency regulation. Test data taken shall include motor voltage and amperes (3 phase), output voltage, current, watts (where wattmeter is provided), and frequency data shall be recorded on appropriate form. Dedicated Motor-Generator - Testing of motor-generator dedicated to a particular system or component may be tested using the dedicated load. Voltage and frequency regulation test may be omitted if not practicable when using ship's dedicated load. Parallel operations - Parallel operation is required for new installations and after motor-generator, associated control or regulating components have been repaired or when Contractor is specifically tasked in identifying and repairing reported paralleling problems. The purpose of parallel testing after overhaul is to demonstrate satisfactory, stable, normal electric plant lineups with varying loads. Prior to paralleling operations, the voltage and frequency regulators of the motor-generator sets shall be certified complete and all adjustments made with the exception of paralleling circuits. For motor-generators with load sharing capabilities the following method of paralleling shall be used. With each motor-generator operating at rated voltage and frequency, adjust the load to normal expected ship's load for paralleling combination or approximately 40 percent combined rated load. Adjust the speed regulating devices and voltage regulator for equal percent divisions of load. Vary the load from 20 percent to 60 percent of the combined load rating or normal ship's load in two equal steps and back to 20 percent in the same manner. The frequency, voltage, current, and kilowatt load of each generator at each load point shall be recorded. Verify that the parallel operation is stable and that the load can be readjusted for equal load sharing at each load step. Insulation resistance test - After operation, the insulation resistance shall be measured in accordance with the method described in Section 300. Unit performance shall be considered unsatisfactory if voltage or frequency oscillation is more than 0.1 percent of rated value or as specified in the applicable technical manual or Military Specification. Rectifier power supplies - After installation or repair, but before placing the rectifiers in operation, insulation resistance measurements of each electric circuit shall be made to determine if the insulation of the electric circuits has suffered any damage. The insulation resistance test shall be in accordance with the method described in Section 300. The rectifier power supply unit shall be tested to ascertain that satisfactory operation is obtained throughout the required input and output voltage ranges with the adjustments provided. Transformers - After installation or repair, but before placing the transformers in operation, insulation resistance measurements shall be made in accordance with the method described in Section 300. Line voltage regulators - The input voltage shall be varied from nominal plus five percent to nominal minus five percent or as close to minus five percent as practicable. The output voltage shall remain within the required limits. Unless otherwise specified, line voltage regulators shall be adjusted to compensate for voltage drop in the power cable which connects the regulators with their associated load or loads. If the regulators serve only a single load, the compensation is for the cable connecting the regulators to the load. If the regulators serve multiple loads, the compensation is for the portion of the cable between the regulators and the loads which is common to all the loads. The compensation for voltage drop shall be utilized for one cable supplying only one load or for that portion of a circuit containing a common cable for a group of loads. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 320 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS 320a. Scope This section contains the general requirements for the electric power distribution system. 320b. Definitions Ship service power distribution system - The ship's main power system and the normal source of power to all electrical functions. Emergency power distribution system - The ship's auxiliary power system, normally connected to the ship service system, capable of independent operation when supplied from emergency generators and designed to supply power to designated vital electrical functions. Special power distribution subsystems - These subsystems supply, via electrical conversion equipment, functions, and systems having specific voltage, frequency, and regulation characteristics not directly obtainable from the ship service or emergency power distribution systems. Lighting distribution system - A subsidiary of the ship service and emergency power systems basically to light the ship, but also to furnish power to small appliances and service outlets of the same voltage and frequency. Casualty power distribution system - A system consisting of through-bulkhead and through-deck terminals (with permanently installed riser cables) and portable cables, strategically located throughout the ship, for the purpose of bridging damaged sections of the ship service and emergency power systems in order to re-energize designated vital electrical functions. Control system - A subsystem associated with any electrical function for the purpose of supervising its operation from one or more locations. Radial distribution - The accepted shipboard method of power distribution, using a generator switchboard as the starting point for assigned feeders supplying power panels and individual loads. Zone distribution - A modification of the radial pattern, adaptable to large ships, wherein the ship is subdivided into electrical zones using main subdivision bulkheads as boundaries. Each zone contains one or more load center switchboards for supplying power panels and individual loads within the zone. This method is a decentralization of the distribution-to-load function of the generator bus extending the bus via bus feeders to load center switchboards. Vital power - Power which, if lost, would seriously impair the fighting effectiveness of the ship. Non-Vital power - Power which, if lost, would not impair the fighting effectiveness of the ship. Circuit nomenclature - Circuit classification is progressively changed every time the circuit is partitioned by a protective device in the following sequence: 1. Generator to switchboard. 2. Bus tie between switchboards. 3. Bus feeder to load center. 4. Feeder to power panel or load. 5. Main from a power panel. 6. Submain from a main wiring box. 7. Branch from a submain wiring box. 8. Subbranch from a branch wiring box. Section - A portion of a circuit not partitioned by a protective device but interrupted by a terminal connection. Distribution wiring equipment - Electrical standard wiring equipment as defined by Federal Item Identification Guides Cataloging Handbook H-6-1, and further identified in Electrical Standard and Type Drawing Index (NAVSEA S0300-AU-IDX-010/ SATDI) and Standard Electrical Symbol List (MIL-HDBK-290). For ships with radar cross section reduction requirement, switch assemblies located topside shall be selected from drawings, NAVSEA no. 803-6983476, 803-6983477, and 803-6983478 or they shall be installed in recessed electrical boxes, see section 300.

320c. General The distribution systems shall be modified to suit the number and approved rating of all electrical equipment to be installed. Determination of system wiring and protective devices based on expected ratings of electrical equipment will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility of installing wiring and switching to suit the final capacity of all installed equipment. 320d. Systems Reliability Two sources of power shall be installed to ensure continuity of service of selected ship electrical systems and equipment as indicated herein. One source of power, the normal source, shall be from a ship service switchboard; the other source shall be from either an emergency switchboard or from another ship service switchboard. Those functions which cannot be handled by the emergency plant shall be supplied by normal and alternate ship service sources of power where two or more ship service switchboards are installed. For ships with only one ship service switchboard fed by two ship service generators, and the switchboard is provided with means to isolate the generator change "feeders" to two separate sections of the board, each section shall be considered a separate source of power. For ships equipped with Zonal Electrical Distribution Systems, one source of power shall be provided from a load center supplied from a port longitudinal bus, and other source from another load center located in the same electrical zone but supplied from a starboard longitudinal bus. The character of the loads to be provided with an emergency or alternate source of power shall be determined from the characteristics for each ship or its assigned mission with the fleet. In providing emergency power for loads in the below categories, the lower the category number, the higher the precedence for receiving emergency power, i.e., Category I has the highest priority. If sufficient emergency generator capacity cannot be provided for loads other than Category I, the main machinery plant shall be arranged to provide for independent and split-plant operation of the ship service generators so that two sources of ship service power can be installed. Any electrical support function required of any system or equipment listed below shall receive the same back-up power supply reliability and supplied with the same normal and alternate (or emergency) source. For redundant vital systems, the normal and alternate power source shall be divided to approximate the number of the available independent power sources installed on the ship (i.e., for ship equipped with two CIWS and two switchboards, the power source supplying normal power to CIWS#1 shall supply alternate power to CIWS#2, and the other power source shall supply alternate power to CIWS#1 and normal power to CIWS#2). Category I In all cases, an emergency switchboard shall supply loads associated with "Emergency Ship Control" which includes the following: Steering gear auxiliaries Vital propulsion auxiliaries (see Note 1) Machinery space circle W ventilation Emergency lighting (see Section 331) Emergency communications Surface search radar Close in weapons system (CIWS) Anti air warfare missile systems and Directions (NSSM, Seawolf, RAM) Other electrically powered ship self defense systems (AAAV GUN) Watermist fire extinguishing systems HFP fire extinguishing systems and associated vent closure devices Fire pumps Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) pumps Interior communications VHF bridge-to-bridge radio Auxiliaries to support the emergency generator prime mover such as: Booster pumps Starting air pumps Compartment ventilation motors Fuel transfer pumps Self-defensive (stand alone) weapons systems Note 1: Vital propulsion auxiliaries are those required for cold-starting the ship's plant and necessary for machinery protection and shall include as a minimum: Turbine generator pumps Emergency or standby lubricating oil service pumps Fuel service pumps Forced draft blowers (low speed) Motor-operated boiler stop valves

For requirements relative to deck covering for personnel protection, see Section 634. Sufficient space shall be provided in front of the switchboard for proper operation of the equipment and to permit the full opening of hinged panels and removal of the draw-out circuit breaker units. Sufficient space shall be provided between the rear of the switchboard and the adjacent ship structure for safe access to the equipment. The operating space in front of the switchboard guardrails shall be a minimum of 3 feet 6 inches. No less than 2 feet of clearance shall be provided between the rear of the switchboard and the adjacent ship's structure. A minimum clearance of 6 inches shall be maintained between adjacent switchboard sections and the top of the switchboards and the ship's structure. One end of the switchboard shall have a minimum clearance of 18 inches and the other end shall have a minimum clearance of 6 inches from the ship's structure. In no case shall the sections be directly connected by structural members, except at the base. The base of each unit shall be adequately secured to the foundation and shall be in a level plane (with reference to ship's baseline) when secure. In order to ensure there is no warping of the switchboard framework or misalignment of component parts of the switchboard, the base of each section shall not be out-of-plane by more than 1/8 inch after installation, with all securing bolts tightened. In general, switchboards shall be located so that the base of the units can be bolted directly to the deck stiffeners, and not bolted to a thin deck plate. Foundation bolts of the switchboard units shall be fastened to metal whose thickness in the immediate vicinity of the bolts is at least equivalent to the bolt diameter. The addition of pads may be necessary to obtain the required thickness or to compensate for the lack of flanges on the deck stiffeners. The requirements regarding rigidity of the switchboard structure, the requirements for securing the units to the foundation, and for the foundation in the ship for mounting the switchboard are intended to ensure that the switchboard units after installation in the ship will not display unsatisfactory resonant vibrations. If the horizontal vibration of deck-mounted switchboard sections or switchboards exceeds 0.040 inch double amplitude, measured on the framework near the top of the structure, top bracing shall be provided. Rigidity of the braces and their attachments shall be adequate to prevent vibration of the top of the section, but the strength of the braces shall not exceed the limits of Section 073. Shear bolts may be employed in the braces if provision is made to prevent the brace from striking the section or bulkhead after shearing of the bolt. Horizontal braces are preferred. The angle of inclination of braces shall not exceed 45 degrees from the horizontal. The braces shall possess inherent flexibility in the vertical direction. Top bracing and installation features shall comply, in general, with the methods shown in DOD-STD-2003. Bolts, nuts and washers used to fasten the braces to the switchboard frame shall be held captive by suitable means. Unless other means of bracing are provided, sway bracing shall be provided front-to-back on all control centers and side-to-side on one-section and two-section control centers. Suitable equipment, including lifting mechanisms and handling equipment, shall be provided for the removal of drawout type circuit breakers from the switchboards. Solid sheet metal barriers shall be installed beneath all switchboards and load center panels which are mounted in a machinery space grating to prevent water, steam or solid objects from entering the switchboard through the bottom and contacting live parts. These barriers shall be supported from the deck on grating members and installed so that they are readily removable for convenient access to the switchboard and cables for routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. Barriers shall be so arranged that water accumulating on top of them will readily drain off. To reduce the possibility of a power failure caused by partial flooding of switchboards or as a result of water on the deck splashing on them, ship service and emergency switchboards that are not located on gratings, and steering power transfer equipment shall be protected against such conditions. Examples of possible protective measures are: Design and mounting of the switchboard with its lowest live parts above the level of access door sills in the main boundary bulkheads of the watertight areas in which installed, or so as to give protection to the switchboard consistent with that obtained in the associated generators. Provision of drains in switchboard spaces where practicable, as in locations on nonwatertight decks. Protection of the lower portion of the switchboard by a watertight barrier or enclosure. If the barrier is not integral with the switchboard, it shall be provided with quick opening drains. Judgment shall be exercised in accomplishing the required protection to avoid excessive weight and height of the electrical installation caused by barriers and high foundations. The exact method to be used for this protection shall be shown on appropriate plans and submitted to the Supervisor for approval. Connections between the buses of adjacent sections of a switchgear group shall employ a wireway, supported from the ship's structure, to carry and secure the connecting cables. Methods used for supporting cables, making up cable ends, and details of cable hangers shall comply with DOD-STD-2003. Switchboards designed in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-16036 provide for bringing cables in from either top or bottom, or both, as specified. The cable and sheath shall be maintained intact to the greatest possible extent, and the cables shall be stripped to the individual conductors only as necessary to form a loop at each end of the wiring trunk, to provide adequate flexibility, and to meet the requirements for bending radius. A dripproof (approximately No. 16 gage) sheet steel enclosure shall be provided that will permit community entrance of the cables into the section enclosure without the use of stuffing tubes. Weight of cable supported by the top of the

If the entire wiring trunk is enclosed, louvers shall be provided for ventilation, and provision shall be made so that movement of the switchboard sections in any direction is not restricted by cables or the wiring trunk. See DOD-STD-2003. Connections of ship cables to switchboards shall be so made that when any switchboard section is caused to move with respect to the ship structure, the inherent flexibility of the connecting cables will permit movement of the section in any direction without subjecting lug connections to severe stress. Cable connections shall be so made that insulation distances within the switchboard are not reduced below the values required by Mil. Spec. MIL-S-16036. Where armored cable is used, the armor shall be removed from that portion of all cables which is within the switchboard structure. Cable ends shall be prepared in accordance with DOD-STD-2003. 324e.

Weather deck lighting control - Weather deck lighting shall be energized from the darkened ship lighting circuit and shall be controlled locally by means of switches located inside access doors adjacent to the fixtures controlled, unless an overall weight saving or simplification of the wiring installation can be effected by controlling several fixtures on the same deck level and in the same general area of the ship from the same switch. Relay lanterns control - The circuit to the relay shall be connected in the lighting circuit in the space in which the lantern is installed, so that the lantern is automatically turned on only when the lighting supply fails, but not when the lighting is turned off by a switch. If a space has both emergency and ship service lighting, the hand lantern relay shall be connected only to the emergency lighting circuit. Red lighting control - Double-throw switches shall be used to energize either the red light circuits or the white light circuits. In addition, where operating conditions or personnel comfort make it desirable to reduce the amount of illumination, such reduction shall be accomplished through the use of integral or individual local switches. In large cargo spaces, control shall be provided to permit the number of lights turned on to be limited to the area in use. Red lighting fixtures shall be supplied from the local ship service lighting circuits and connected to permit their control when the regular illumination is extinguished. In surface ships having an emergency lighting system, the red light fixtures shall be connected to the emergency system in all compartments designated to receive emergency lighting supply. Broad Band Blue lighting control - Control switching for Broad Band Blue (BBB) lighting in each module shall be located in that module and shall be arranged so that one switch will energize all white maintenance lights, and one switch will energize all blue lights. This control may be combined in one selector switch with an "off" position. Darkened ship lighting control - Illumination (either white, blue, or red), which would violate light security, shall be protected by light traps (see Section 621), controlled by door switches or connected to the darkened ship circuits. Light traps, rather than door switches, shall be used to provide light security in compartments containing equipment that would be potentially injurious to personnel if the lights were suddenly extinguished. Light traps or door switches shall be located at those doors or hatches which are designated W, Circle W, Circle X, Circle Y, Z, or Circle Z, and at weather doors and hatches marked X or Y serving areas having other means of access. Groups of lights that must be turned off during darkened ship operations (such as in-port use lighting, lighting in passageways, Pilot House lighting, enclosed lookout station lighting, flight control station lighting, and miscellaneous stowage space lighting) shall be combined on lighting distribution mains so that the main may be de-energized during darkened ship operation. The switches provided for such control shall be manually controlled and shall be marked on the distribution panels in accordance with Section 305. Door switches or light traps are not required for escape scuttles ammunition passing scuttles, and cargo handling accesses. Doors and hatches designated Dog Z do not require light control. To prevent light exposure through surface ship torpedo tubes or doors for launching torpedoes from within a compartment, a magnetic contactor shall be used in conjunction with switches provided with the torpedo tubes or doors for control of lights in the compartment. Lighting fixtures shall not be located within a radius of 10 feet from the light trap entrance if another location is practicable, and never within a radius of 5 feet from the light trap entrance. Door switch designs, installation, and connections shall comply with drawing, NAVSEA No. 803-5184170. Door switches installations that require separate snap switches for the purpose of bypassing the door switch, instead of individual lock-in devices, shall have these switches mounted approximately 6-1/2 feet above the deck. The lighting in all working spaces opening on hangar bays shall be controlled by door switches and magnetic contactors so that the lights in the working spaces will not adversely affect the darkened ship set-up in the hangar bays. Hangar space lighting control - This system shall provide means for automatic and manual control of the red and white lighting in the hangar space. The system shall consist of magnetic contactors, for the control of the power supply to red and white lighting distribution panels, controlled by door switches installed at and operated by all hangar space outboard doors and the hangar division doors. The magnetic contactor for controlling the power supply to the red and white lighting distribution panels, a six-position selector switch for selecting the required type of hangar space lighting control operation and a three-position test switch, with its associated indicator light, for determining the open or closed condition of hangar space outboard doors, shall be installed in the lighting control station in each hangar bay. The selector switches shall permit setting up the hangar space lighting control system to function as follows: Red and white distribution panels shall be de-energized. All red and white lights shall be off. With the switch in the "RED MANUAL" position - All red lights shall be on and all white lights shall be off, regardless of open or closed condition of hangar division doors or hangar bay outboard doors. With the switch in the "WHITE MANUAL" position - All white lights shall be on and all red lights shall be off, regardless of open or closed condition of hangar division doors or hangar bay outboard doors. With the switch in the "RED AUTOMATIC" position - With all hangar bay outboard doors closed and with the hangar division doors either open or closed, all red lights shall be on and all white lights shall be off. With the hangar division doors open, opening of any hangar deck outboard door shall extinguish all red lighting in both hangar bays. With the hangar division doors closed,

opening any hangar bay outboard door shall extinguish the red lighting in only that hangar bay having an outboard door open. With all outboard doors closed, the circuit shall be re-established. With the switch in the "WHITE AUTOMATIC" position - With all hangar bay outboard doors closed and with the hangar division doors either open or closed, the white lights shall be on and the red lights shall be off. With the hangar division doors open, opening any hangarbay outboard door shall extinguish all white lighting in both hangar bays. With the hangar division doors closed, opening a hangar bay outboard door shall extinguish the white lighting in that hangar bay having an outboard door open. With all outboard doors closed the circuit shall be re-established. With the switch in the "WHITE OR RED AUTOMATIC" position - With bay outboard doors closed and with hangar division doors either open or closed, the white lights shall be on and the red lights shall be off. With hangar division doors open, opening any hangar bay outboard door shall extinguish all white lighting in both hangar bays and energize the red lighting in both hangar bays. With the hangar division doors closed, opening a hangar bay outboard door shall extinguish the white lighting and energize the red lighting in the hangar bay having an outboard door open. With all outboard doors closed, the circuit shall be re-established and the white lights again energized. The test switch installed in each hangar bay lighting control station shall provide a means for determining the open or closed condition of the hangar bay outboard doors when the selector switch is set up for RED AUTOMATIC, WHITE AUTOMATIC, or WHITE OR RED AUTOMATIC operation. With the test switch held in the "PORT" position, the associated indicator light shall be lighted when any outboard door on the port side of that hangar bay is open but shall remain dark when they are all closed. The same indications shall apply for outboard doors on the starboard side of the hangar bay when the test switch is held in the "STARBOARD" position. 331d. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 332 ILLUMINATION REQUIREMENTS 332a. Scope This section contains the requirements for general, detail, special, red, and broad band blue (BBB) new and modified ship's lighting. 332b. Definitions Lighting fixture - A complete illumination device, including lamp, globe, reflector, refractor, housing, and such support as is integral with the housing, or any combination of these parts. Lighting fixtures are further defined as follows: Permanent fixtures - Fixtures permanently installed. Portable fixtures - Fixtures connected by portable cables plugged into receptacle connectors and used for lighting applications not served by permanent lighting fixtures. Miscellaneous fixtures - Fixtures used for special illumination applications that are not served by permanent or portable lighting fixtures. Average illumination - The average value of illumination in footcandles over an area on a horizontal working plane 30 inches above the deck. Initial average illumination - The average illumination computed or measured when lighting fixtures and painted surfaces are new or in new condition. Uniformity ratio - The ratio of maximum illumination directly under a lighting fixture to the minimum illumination between it and the nearest adjacent fixture. Glare - Glare is defined as the light, either directly from a light source or reflected by a surface that hinders rather than aids vision. Brightness contrast ratio - The ratio of the amount of light reflected from a task surface to that reflected from an adjacent or a remote surface in the field of view. General illumination - The white illumination provided from all lighting fixtures on the overhead and bulkheads, except detail lighting fixtures. Detail illumination - The illumination provided for specific seeing tasks, such as provided by lights on desks, log desks, berths, and machine tools. Special illumination - The illumination provided by miscellaneous fixtures for purposes other than covered by general and detail illumination. Red illumination - The red illumination provided to minimize interference with dark adapted vision, including certain special applications involving darkened ship operation and red illumination in berthing areas for safety and sleeping comfort. Broad Band Blue (BBB) illumination provided, in command and control spaces containing cathode ray tube display consoles, to provide illumination under conditions which result in minimum interference with display reading. Darkened ship - The ship's material condition established to ensure light security. This condition is achieved through the use of light traps, door operated switches, darkened ship control circuits, and material classifications assigned certain doors and hatches. Dark adaptation - The physiological adjustment of the eye to a change in environmental conditions. Specifically, the condition of the eye which permits improved vision under faint light. 332c. General Fluorescent fixtures with 8-watt lamps shall be used for detail illumination and for general illumination in locations where space is too restricted to accommodate fixtures with 15-watt or 20-watt lamps. The minimum number of fixtures required to provide the specified illumination, shall be installed. For example, 40-watt fixtures are preferable to a greater number of 20-watt fixtures, and 60-watt fixtures are preferable to a greater number of 40-watt fixtures. However, this does not affect requirements for other illumination factors herein, such as uniformity and contrast. Where furniture or equipment requiring detail illumination is installed in spaces other than those indicated in Table I, detail lights specified for similar installations in spaces shall be provided. Incandescent and fluorescent lamps shall be of standard types in accordance with Military Standards. Incandescent lamps installed shall not be of a larger wattage than that for which the fixture is designed.

See drawing, NAVSEA No. 803-5184170 for typical methods of installation. Mounting brackets for relay lanterns shall be boxed-in in areas where bulkhead sheathing and decorative treatment are specified. Cables supplying these fixtures shall be concealed by the sheathing. Clearance between lighting fixtures installed using the shockmounts furnished with the fixtures and adjacent equipment or structure shall not be less than 1-1/2 inches for incandescent fixtures and 3/4 of an inch for fluorescent fixtures, except where fixtures are recessed or flush mounted in suspended ceilings. Lighting fixtures in gun and missile blast affected areas shall be installed as follows: Exterior lighting fixtures shall be located out of the blast area; if they must be located in the blast area, these fixtures shall be portable and storage facilities shall be provided. The following shall be in accordance with drawing, NAVSEA No. 803-5184170: Berth light installations Desk light installations Lighting fixture electromagnetic interference installations Mirror light installations Mounting of lighting fixtures in gun and missile blast induced shock areas Squadron ready room installations Surgical light installations Waterline security light installations Suggested illumination calculation and design methods, and typical installation methods for the fixtures specified are available in publication, NAVSEA 0964-LP-000-2000 and drawing, NAVSEA No. 803-5184170. However, the use of such suggested methods shall not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for meeting requirements contained in these specifications. Unless otherwise specified, lighting fixtures of the types specified in publication, NAVSEA S0300-AT-GTP-010/ESL, shall be installed. Symbol numbers specified herein are in accordance with this publication. 332e. General Illumination Illumination level - Replacement lighting fixtures shall be installed in compartments and spaces in the number and location required to provide the initial average footcandle values of general illumination specified in Table I. The initial average footcandle illumination specified shall be considered the minimum acceptable. A minus tolerance in these values will not be permitted except in special cases, as approved by the Supervisor. Where a compartment serves two or more functions, the level of illumination provided shall be for the primary function of the compartment. Higher levels of illumination, than that required by the primary function of the compartment, shall be provided only in those secondary function areas requiring a higher level of illumination. Uniformity of illumination - In fulfilling illumination requirements, overhead lighting fixtures shall be installed to provide uniform illumination throughout a compartment without contrasting light and dark areas. The uniformity ratio shall not be greater than two to one. For the best results, the ratio shall be close to unity, thus providing a level of illumination at the working level that will be substantially uniform. If the number of fixtures provide a ratio greater than two to one, additional lighting fixtures shall be installed, or the installed fixtures shall be rearranged, to obtain this ratio. Uniformity of illumination is particularly desired in offices, shops, and electronic spaces. In arranging fixtures to provide a uniform level of illumination, they shall be spaced to provide maximum illumination on working surfaces. Lighting shall be arranged to avoid shadows cast on the working surfaces by obstructions or by personnel as they perform their normal duties in that compartment. Spacing between lighting fixtures and bulkheads shall provide substantially uniform illumination, without spotty light distribution, dark areas or dark corners on shelves, racks or vertical surfaces. Spacing between a lighting fixture and a bulkhead shall be one-half or less the spacing between fixtures. Brightness To minimize eye fatigue, excessive brightness contrasts between seeing tasks and the background immediately surrounding such tasks shall be avoided, particularly in compartments such as offices, chart room or control spaces where continuous visual tasks are performed. A brightness contrast ratio of unity is desirable and a ratio of three to one is good between a task and adjacent surroundings such as a written paper and a desk top. The brightness contrast shall not be greater than ten to one, between a task and remote surroundings. Fixtures shall be selected and installed accordingly. Glare conditions in the normal field of view shall be avoided. In compartments where close visual tasks are performed, or where visual tasks are performed for long periods, the fluorescent lighting fixtures shall be of the type with clear prismatic or clear and white prismatic windows. The lighting fixtures shall be located to eliminate glare sources from the normal field of vision either directly from the fixture or reflected from the working task or polished surfaces. Painting of polished surfaces with light diffusing or matte paint is acceptable in lieu of relocation of lights. General illumination lighting fixtures in control rooms shall be located so that, with operators in their normal position, reflections and glare from instrument glass faces will be eliminated. If reflections cannot be completely eliminated by proper positioning of the lights or

332h. Red Illumination General- Red lighting fixtures shall be installed for the following primary purposes: To provide a low-level of illumination in berthing areas. To provide illumination that will afford the least practicable interference with dark-adapted vision in access routes to topside battle and watch stations and in special compartments and stations. To provide illumination for special applications involving darkened ship operations. For fluorescent lighting installations, red illumination shall be accomplished by use of standard red fixtures or by use of red filters over those lamps, as necessary to accomplish the desired illumination. For incandescent and halogen lighting installations, red illumination shall be furnished by standard red lighting fixtures. The red fixtures shall be located and spaced to provide sufficient illumination, with particular attention being given to the illumination of door sills, hatch coamings, ladders and obstacles. Red lighting fixtures, including those at replenishment stations, shall be installed so that no direct light is exposed to view outside the ship and also that any indirect light reflected from weather deck structures or passing through such openings as scuttles, cargo hatches, and hangar doors is kept to a practical minimum. This shall be accomplished by judicious location and shielding of fixtures and by the application of black paint (see Section 631). Red light fixtures which are installed for the purpose of preserving dark adapted vision of personnel using optical instruments, shall be located outside the field of vision of operators occupying their normal working positions. The fixtures shall be shielded to reduce light in the working area to a minimum. Installation of the required red lighting fixtures in compartments and passages shall not affect the number of white lights required. Where necessary to adjust the degree of illumination and directional characteristics of a red lighting fixture (as, for example, where located adjacent to the head of a berth or near the top of a ladder so that light shines directly into the eyes), the globe or lens shall be shielded. Lights installed in the Pilot House (including indicator lights) shall be located or shielded so that no light is reflected in any of the windows or windshield glass. This is particularly important when lights are installed on the after bulkhead of the Pilot House. Access routes - Red lighting fixtures shall be installed along routes leading from stateroom and berthing areas to weather deck stations involved in navigation, weapons control, signaling, gunnery, flight operations, and other essential activities. The routes selected shall lead along main passageways and terminate at main accesses to weather decks. They shall permit personnel traffic within the ship, rather than on weather decks. This will result in having a continuous fore-and-aft red lighted passageway, both port and starboard, under shelter. Where such routes lead through large spaces such as shops or messing spaces, red lights shall be installed to illuminate these routes.

Coaxial cable shall be terminated or joined only by use of approved coaxial connectors or other approved coaxial fittings. Cables near hydraulic fluid piping shall have dripproof shields or other barriers installed to protect cables from leak damage. Coaxial cables shall be installed so that equipment servicing, equipment deflection, deflection of bulkheads and maximum movement of expansion joints will not subject the cable to tension or shear damage during a combat shock environment or in a heavy sea state. Sag between hangers shall be uniform for each row of cables in racks so that the clearance between rows will be the same throughout the cable run. Sag shall be limited to that allowed for electric cable in similar runs. Whenever cables enter stuffing tubes, the angle of approach shall be such as to allow tightening of gland nuts without the necessity of flexing cables. Prefabricated straps or banding material/channel rubber method shall be used to secure coaxial cable to hangers. Where used, prefabricated straps shall not be hammered around cables and shall not be tightened more than necessary to hold the cable in place. Coaxial cable shall not be secured directly to ballistic decks, ballistic bulkheads, or shell plating, but shall be supported on beams or hangers. The selection, spacing and installation of the hangers for coaxial cables shall provide a satisfactory installation to survive a full design level combat shock loading. No distortion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable shall be allowed. Coaxial cable shall enter equipment enclosures in accordance with the following: Watertight - Through stuffing tubes in locations as provided on the equipment and best suited to the disposition of the cable. Non-watertight - Through cable clamps, A-A-50552, located in bottom or sides of the enclosure; if top entrance is more practical, stuffing tubes shall be used. Where watertight equipment is installed in spaces which do not require the equipment to be watertight, the cable entrance shall be as prescribed for nonwatertight enclosures.

Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085. Other technical documentation requirements related to overhaul are specified in Section 800. 430k. Testing Requirements General - In making the tests for new, modified, overhauled and repaired systems, operation of the various equipments and systems shall be kept to a minimum. Guidance for tests shall include applicable Technical Manuals, NAVSEA S9086-PA-STM-000/CH430, S9086-KC-STM000/CH300, and NAVSEA T9093-AB-TRQ-010/Surf Comb (Weapons Related Systems). Insulation resistance tests - general insulation - Resistance measurements shall be conducted on cables installed for new systems, modified or repaired systems, and shall be accomplished in accordance with one of the following two methods to verify absence of shorts and grounds: If no connections to wiring fittings or equipment are made, a 500 - volt megohmeter shall be used. If any connections to wiring fittings or equipment are made, a Navy 60089 tester (or equivalent)shall be used. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that circuits which have a voltage rating less than the test voltage are disconnected before the test voltage is applied. Separate measurements shall be made on each system for each conductor connected to the power supply source (IC switchboard or a local power source). The test equipment shall be connected from one conductor to ground, the other conductor or conductors being connected together and grounded. A value of 1.0 megohm or greater of insulation resistance to ground, for each conductor, is considered satisfactory. For each system, measurements shall also be made on all other conductors not directly connected to the power supply except for telephone and announcing systems. The resistance may be measured by connecting together all conductors of the system terminating at a switchboard or unit of equipment with a copper braid or other temporary connection securely wrapped around all terminals which are to be included in the measurement. Using this method, it will only be necessary to take a reading from one terminal to ground, and this single measurement will suffice provided a reading of 1.0 megohm or greater is obtained. If a lower reading is obtained, the measurement shall be repeated, each time with a lesser number of terminals temporarily connected together until the apparent defective conductors or unit of equipment have been located. Separate measurements are not required in the case of conductors which are at the same potential, such as those connected together through a terminal box, fuse or switch; however, in these cases a check shall be made to ensure that the fuses are good and that the switch is positioned so as to connect the conductors together in the circuit. Miscellaneous systems - For other systems using twisted pair telephone type cables, an insulation resistance value of 50,000 ohms or greater between each conductor and ground is considered satisfactory. If the insulation resistance of a circuit fails to meet the above specified values, a smaller number of conductors shall be tested or the equipment shall be disconnected to determine if the actual location of the low resistance is in the cable. If the fault is determined to be in the cable, corrective measures shall be taken. Defective equipment shall be repaired in accordance with the applicable technical manual. Insulation resistance measurements for the IC systems shall be recorded on form NAVSEA 531, and a copy furnished to the ship via the Supervisor. Performance tests - Performance tests for new, modified, overhauled and repaired systems shall be accomplished as follows, using applicable equipment technical manuals: Demonstrate satisfactory performance of the individual units of equipment. Verify correct interconnections of modified portions of a system. Demonstrate the satisfactory performance of a complete system, and the combined performance where there are related portions of more than one system. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in sections 092 and 094 herein

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 475 DEGAUSSING SYSTEM 475a. Scope This section contains processes and procedures relative to the general requirement for the degaussing system. 475b. Cable Relocation Relocation of degaussing cables shall be restricted to changes associated with authorized repairs or conversions, or both. NAVSEA approval shall be required for cable location changes which do not comply with or exceed the loop diversion noted below. Allowable Loop Diversions on Steel Hull Ships Loop diversions may be made to divert around oil or water tanks, peak tanks, magazines, cofferdams, refrigerators, chain lockers, and similar compartments. These diversions shall be made with a minimum number of short directional changes. The area between the specified run and the diverted run shall be made as small as possible. For the M coil, the following loop diversion limits apply to any longitudinal section of the ship with extent equal to 1.5 times the beam (B). In addition, the limits as shown apply to the middle-fifth ampere-turn (AT) capacity of the M coil. For multi-loop M coils, the allowable diversion areas shown are to be adjusted to provide the same total "AT times square feet," as for the middle-fifth section, i.e., the areas shown are to be divided by the ratio of "AT for the diversion" to the "middle-fifth AT": a. Symmetrical M loop vertical diversions at the skin should not exceed 0.04B2 for each side. b. Asymmetrical M loop vertical diversions at the skin should not exceed 0.02B2 for each diversion. c. Symmetrical M loop horizontal diversions at the skin should not exceed 0.015B2 for each side. d. Asymmetrical M loop horizontal diversions at the skin should not exceed 0.02B2. e. Asymmetrical M loop vertical diversions at crossover should not exceed 0.02B2 for each diversion. f. Asymmetrical M loop horizontal diversions at crossover should not exceed 0.015B2 for each diversion. For the FI-QI and FP-QP coils the following diversions apply for the FI-QI and FP-QP loops: a. Diversions in the crossovers of the long FI, FP, QI and QP loops should not change the areas of these loops by more than 6 percent. b. Diversions in the crossovers of the short FI, FP, QI and QP loops should not change the areas of these loops by more than 9 percent. c. For asymmetric or symmetric vertical diversions of the FI, FP, QI and QP loops along the skin of the ship, the product of the area times ampere-turns, should not exceed the product of 0.02B2 in area times the total AT of the M coil middle-fifth. d. For asymmetric or symmetric horizontal diversions of the FI, FP, QI and QP loops along the skin of the ship, the product of the area times ampere-turns should not exceed the product of 0.01B2 in area times the total AT of the M coil middle-fifth. For the A coil, the following loop diversion limits apply to any longitudinal section of the ship with extent equal to 1.5 times the beam: Horizontal diversions for A loops: For symmetrical horizontal diversions, the area between the diverted run and the desired run should not exceed 0.22B2 (0.11B2 for each side) square feet for each of the upper runs, or 0.05B2 (0.025B2 for each side) square feet for each of the lower runs. For asymmetrical horizontal diversions, the area between the diverted run and the desired run should not exceed 0.055B2 for the upper run, or 0.01B2 for the lower run. Vertical diversions for A loops: These diversions will normally be on the lower run. Symmetrical vertical diversions should not exceed 0.4B in length nor pierce a deck. If it is necessary to pierce a deck, the length of the diversions should not exceed 0.2B. Asymmetrical vertical diversions should be avoided if possible. If there are not intervening decks, an asymmetrical vertical diversion not longer than 0.2B is allowable. Diversions in the vertical runs: The vertical risers must run on bulkheads or similar structures which will give the coil adequate support. The risers should run at the location nearest the calculated position. Diversions of this nature should not exceed 0.2B forward or aft of the calculated position for each riser. The effect of forward or aft diversions in the vertical runs is less critical because it only extends or shortens the A coil loop effect in the longitudinal direction. Symmetrical diversions of the vertical runs of the A loops in the athwartship direction should not exceed 0.05B2 in area. Asymmetrical diversions of the vertical runs of the A loops in the athwartship direction should not exceed 0.02B2 in area. Allowable Loop Diversions on Minesweepers M Loops

503a. Scope This section contains requirements for pumps not contained in other GSO sections herein. Exceptions to specification requirements shall be subject to approval by the supervisor. 503b. General The technical requirements for ship alterations are as specified herein. However, as part of the SHIPALT and associated drawing development process, deviations from GSO requirements to accommodate individual ship's as-built conditions are permitted. This would be applicable, for example, for SHIPALTS on older ships for which the current SHIPALT design criteria as specified in the GSO is of such a nature that compliance will result in significant redesign of the as-built ship to meet new GSO requirements. The same practical considerations shall be shown in the replacement of existing components during a repair process when system or material upgrade is not intended and an identical or equivalent component will provide continued safe and satisfactory performance. Applicable military specifications for typical pump services are listed in Tables I, II and III for reference. Pumps shall be selected in accordance with the pump tables found in the detailed builder's specifications. When pumps are listed in the pump tables of builder's specifications as "commercial", they shall be selected to meet the requirements of subsections 503g through 503o of this specification, as applicable. Where units or services are specified for which there is no information in the detailed builder's specifications, they shall be as specified by NAVSEA. The number, type, applicable purchase specification and other pertinent data are usually specified in the overhaul work specifications. On occasion, it is necessary for the designer to specify the above as a result of upgrading or modifying an existing system where such an upgrade or modification will overload an existing pump or require installation of a new pump. Usually, such a condition is found as a result of the design process and may not be specifically mentioned in the overhaul work specifications. After the necessary development of pump suction and discharge piping, and pump locations are assured, the designer shall determine that all specified pump performance characteristics are suitable for the intended application during all service conditions, and compatible with the hydraulic characteristics of the system served.

Repair and Overhaul of Existing Pumps The repair and overhaul of a pump are intended to restore it to its original performance profile and not necessarily intended to return the overhauled pump to the original manufacturer's drawing tolerances. In the process of overhauling a pump, the worn or damaged subcomponents are either replaced or repaired. The Supervisor's Work Specifications shall identify the class of overhaul (e.g., Class B) authorized for the item. Definition of overhaul class is provided in Section 042 herein. Where applicable, the Supervisors Work Specification shall invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved Technical Repair Standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the item or systems (i.e., valve, pump, filter, pipe) shall be in accordance with applicable drawings, NSTM Chapter 503, or technical manuals as modified by the overhaul criteria paragraphs herein and Section 505. Nondestructive inspection requirements - Nondestructive inspection on pump parts shall be performed in accordance with MIL-STD-271. Those parts which require only visual inspection but contain suspect surface or subsurface discontinuities in magnetic (ferrous) materials should be tested in accordance with the magnetic particle test contained in MIL-STD-271. Those parts which require only visual inspection but contain suspect surface discontinuities in non-magnetic (non-ferrous and austenitic corrosion-resisting or stainless steel) materials shall be tested in accordance with liquid penetrant test contained in MIL-STD-271. Other nondestructive tests (radiography, Brinell hardness and chemical analysis) may be used to verify a possible deficiency. Acceptance criteria for visual, liquid penetrant, and magnetic particle tests shall be in accordance with NAVSEA procedures 0900-LP-003-8000. Metallurgical composition, if unknown, shall be determined from unit drawings or metallurgical tests. Thread inspection/repair criteria - Inspect threaded parts for burnished, galled, crossed, torn, cracked, deformed, or missing threads. Thread damage is acceptable if it can be repaired by running a die nut onto or a tap into thread so that free-fit threads engage by hand with no excessive play. Where tighter or more critical fits are involved or where fit of threads is questionable, a thread checking gage should be used. Thread damage that extends to the root of a male thread is not acceptable. Stretched threads are also not acceptable. Inspection of stud-setting thread is not required unless the part has been removed for another reason. In the event that a stud is removed, locking torque shall be reestablished. Internal threads may be repaired by retapping, provided loss of threads does not exceed percent. As an alternate, oversize drilling and tapping may be used. Use of thread inserts is also acceptable if strength of the remaining original section is adequate.

External threads on components such as shafts and rotors may be repaired by chasing. Threaded parts shall be replaced if repair is considered uneconomical. Sealant per Mil. Spec. MIL-S-22473 may be used to reestablish stud tightness. Wall thickness inspection requirements - Erosion is permitted to a depth of 20 percent of the nominal design wall thickness. However, individual erosion pockets shall not exceed 2 percent of the total casting surface. Pitting is permitted over the entire casting surface with individual pitting depth not to exceed 1/8 inch or 20 percent of the nominal design wall thickness, whichever is less. Concentrated pitting (pit spacing approximately 1/8 inch) of depth described above is permitted, provided it does not cover an area which exceeds 2 percent of the total casting surface. Repair as required in accordance with the instructions contained herein. Sealing surface inspection/repair requirements - Examine sealing surfaces. These surfaces include pipe flanges and parting joint faces. Defects such as pitting, scratches, and corrosion are allowable provided the density or size of the defect does not form a leakage path transversely across 50 percent of the area between a pressure boundary and the external surface of the part. The depths of individual sealing surface defects shall not exceed 0.010 inch. No defects are allowable on high pressure steam sealing surfaces of the steam chest mounting surface. Flatness of flanges shall be true to within 0.002 inch. Check metal-to-metal sealing surfaces with Prussian Blue. Ensure a continuous contact inside bolting circle with no leakage path. Total contact should be at least 80 percent of sealing surface. Care must be exercised not to damage plated, ground, or polished surfaces rendering them useless as sealing surfaces. When hand repair is not satisfactory, machining of the surface is allowable to bring it into acceptable condition or to prepare it for welding or plating and subsequent remachining to drawing specifications. Do not take a clean-up cut on the casing parting joint without careful consideration of the effect on internal clearances. In neither case shall the initial machining result in a loss of more than 10 percent of the original material of the part. Minor hand repair may be used to repair or restore the casing to usable condition. This may be done by the use of emery cloth, filing, grinding, scraping, lapping or honing. Mechanical seals with ceramic sealing faces - Ceramic sealing faces are not approved in pump mechanical seals. When overhauling a pump which contains a mechanical seal with ceramic sealing faces, the overhauling activity should determine if the pump APL has been modified to identify a replacement seal with approved face materials. If so, the replacement seal should be installed. If not, the overhauling activity should proceed as follows: 1. Query the mechanical seal OEM to obtain a replacement seal with approved face materials. 2. Install the replacement seal. 3. Notify NAVSEA of replacement seal installation, identifying both pump and replacement seal. NAVSEA will initiate action to change the pump APL to reflect the replacement seal. Approved sealing face materials are identified herein. See "General" Section 503b., "Mechanical shaft seals". Keyway and key inspection/repair criteria - Visually inspect keyway for deformed, cracked or chipped edges or high spots. Verify that fit between key and keyseat sides has a minimum clearance of 0.002 inch or maximum interference of 0.0005 inch. High spots in keyway may be removed by machining or grinding. Do not unnecessarily repair any keyway; instead, use a step key up to a maximum of 0.010 inch oversize and, where possible, include a radius in step. If key tightness cannot be corrected with a step key, remachine worn/damaged keyways to recommended oversizes as follows: Maximum of 0.015 inch oversize for a 1/8-inch key and increasing oversize allowance of 0.010 inch for each 1/8-inch increase in key size up to a maximum of 0.075 inch. If key tightness cannot be corrected by keyway repair, replace part involved. Gear teeth inspection/repair criteria - Examine gears for cracks, nicks or abrasion. No cracks are allowed. Nicks and other surface defects are acceptable if evenly distributed over no more than 20 percent of the total number of teeth. A satisfactory tooth contact exists when at least 80 percent of the axial length of the working face of each tooth is in full contact, distributed over 75 percent of the face width. Check tooth contact disassembly by spraying one gear with Prussian Blue and rotating the shaft one revolution. Recheck tooth contact on reassembly. Stoning or honing of teeth to obtain total tooth contact is prohibited. Stoning or honing is permissible for removing a local hump or deformation unrelated to wear. Weld repair - Weld repair of pump casings and internals shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 074 and MIL-STD-278. Weldability of the item material shall be considered before attempting this repair method. For example, gun metals and bronzes usually exhibit poor weldability and/or porosity while certain grades of Monel and copper-nickel, are considered to be weld-repairable. Weld repair is normally used for repairing eroded or damaged casings, building up wear ring seating areas and repairing gasket mating faces. Weld repair of rotating parts is prohibited. Pump bore repair - Repair of worn pump bores, at bearing or wearing ring fit-up areas, is acceptable using one of the following methods: 1. Machine the pump bore to a diameter that is larger than the specified bore dimensions. Install a sleeve that will return the bore to the specified diameter. 2. Deposit weld material axially along the bore. Repeat this process at equally spaced increments around the bore circumference. Machine bore to the specified diameter. Weld repair shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 074 and MIL-STD-278.

Impregnation - Impregnation is permitted on structurally sound castings to seal leakage due to porosity or other nonstructural defects. Approval shall be obtained from NAVSEA prior to impregnation, and shall be based on the structural soundness of each casting as shown by a review of individual radiographs. After NAVSEA approval is obtained, castings shall be impregnated in accordance with MIL-STD-276. The maximum porosity leakage rate, allowable casting materials, and impregnation materials and procedures are specified in MIL-STD-276. Impregnated castings are specially marked, and are restricted from future repair processes which utilize heat in excess of maximum temperatures allowed by MIL. Spec. MIL-I-17563 for the specific impregnant material used. Thermal spray - Thermal spray coating shall be accomplished in accordance with MIL-STD-1687 for repair and corrosion protection of ferrous and non-ferrous pump metal parts. The thermal spray coating process is approved by NAVSEA for the following repairs: 1. Repair of static fit areas to restore original dimensions, finish and alignment. 2. Repair of seal (including packing) areas to restore original dimensions and finish. 3. Repair of fit areas on shafts to restore original dimensions and finish. 4. Build-up of pump shaft sleeves and wear rings to restore original dimensions. Brazing repair - Brazing repairs shall be in accordance with NAVSHIPS 0900-LP-001-7000. Brazing repairs will be restricted to re-attachment of piping connections on pumps. As brazing necessitates high heat input to castings, which can cause cracking and porosity, appropriate measures shall be taken to limit heat input only to the area to be repaired. Coating and patching compounds - With supervisor's approval, certain non-structural repairs, such as restoring wear ring seating surfaces, repairing damaged gasket mating faces, protecting against cavitation erosion, o-ring grooves, etc., may be made in accordance with Section 630. Electrodeposition of metals - Electroplating shall be done in accordance with MIL-STD-2197SH, brush electroplating of marine machinery. Dynamic balance criteria - MIL-STD-167 contains the requirements for balancing. Softwear - All softwear (i.e., gaskets, o-rings, packing, mechanical seals) shall be replaced during overhaul. 503o. Testing Requirements Shop test - As a minimum, replacement and overhauled pumps shall meet the original design requirements for capacity, head and suction conditions at rated speed without exceeding the nameplate rating of the driver. The supervisor shall approve test results that do not meet the original design requirements. Pressure containing parts which are newly manufactured or braze/weld repaired shall be hydrostatically tested per Section 505. New/modified/disturbed mechanical joints shall be tightness tested per Section 505. Mechanical seal leakage rate - Acceptable mechanical seal leakage rate for flammable and nonflammable liquid shall be determined as follows: 1. Fuel oil, JP-5, gasoline, and other flammable liquids: Wipe pump tell-tale hole or seal housing dry of any dampness. For pumps with mechanical seals, observe and/or collect leakage for a 30-minute period while pump is operating. Measurable (dripping) leakage during 30-minute test period is unacceptable. Dampness at the tell-tale hole or seal housing is acceptable. 2. Fresh water, seawater, lube oil, and other nonflammable liquids: Mechanical seal leakage rate shall not exceed that specified in the equipment technical manual. When no criteria exist, 5 drops per minute shall apply. Packing leakage rate - Acceptable packing leakage rate for flammable and nonflammable liquid shall be determined as follows: 1. Fuel oil, JP-5, gasoline, and other flammable liquids: Leakage rate for packed pumps shall be measured after newly installed packing has been run in and the leakage rate has been stabilized. Leakage rate shall not exceed 5 drops per minute after packing leakage is stabilized. 2. Fresh water, seawater, lube oil, and other nonflammable liquids: For packed pumps, liquid should be allowed to drip from the stuffing box to lubricate and cool the packing. Shipboard Testing - New/repaired units shall be operationally tested in accordance with Section 092 and the following: 1. Heat runs shall be conducted for 1 hour minimum and continue as necessary until temperatures stabilize over ambient (no more than a 5 degrees F rise over three consecutive 15-minute readings) for continuous duty pumps. Intermittent or special duty pumps shall have a heat run limited to their normal operating cycle. 2. Associated operational characteristics such as removal of fluids from tanks, proper operation of safety devices and automatic controls shall be demonstrated.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

505a. General Sections 505b. through 505g. apply to new installations and modifications to existing systems. Section 505h. applies to repairs to existing systems and components. Sections 505a., 505i., 505j., and 505k. apply to new installations, modifications and repairs. The technical requirements for ship alterations are as specified herein. However, as part of the shipalt and associated drawing development process, deviations from GSO requirements to accommodate individual ships as-built conditions can occur. This could be applicable, for example, for shipalts on older ships for which the current shipalt design criteria as specified in the GSO is of such a nature that compliance would result in significant redesign of the as-built ship to meet new GSO requirements. The same practical considerations shall be shown in the replacement of existing components during a repair process when system or material upgrade is not intended and an identical or equivalent component will provide continued safe and satisfactory performance. This section contains the general requirements for the design, fabrication, installation, testing, cleaning, and repair of shipboard piping systems and piping components. Requirements peculiar or supplemental to a specific system are covered by the section governing that system. Where supplemental or differing requirements are specified in the section governing the system, the system section requirements take precedence. Modification to existing installations or new installations shall in no manner degrade the capability of the overall system to meet its performance requirements. In selection of new piping components, consideration shall be given to standardization and logistics support. The overall system capability shall not be degraded by these new components. 505b. System Design Requirements 505b1. Definitions System - All equipment, piping, and components described by and included on a system diagram. Subsystem - Any portion of a system that can be identified by special service or function. Vital system - A piping system or that portion thereof whose continual operation is essential for maintaining ships control, propulsion, communications, seaworthiness, and fighting capability, or is required to meet Grade A shock capabilities. Sea-connected piping - Piping in any system that has a connection or connections open to the sea below the maximum displacement water line. Nominal operating pressure - The approximate pressure at which an essentially constant pressure system operates when performing its normal function. This pressure is used for the system basic pressure identification. Maximum operating pressure - The highest pressure which can exist in a system or subsystem under normal operating conditions. This pressure is determined by such influences as pump or compressor shut-off pressures, pressure regulating valve lockup (no-flow) pressure, and maximum chosen pressure at the system source. Maximum system pressure - The highest pressure that can exist in a system or subsystem during any condition. Normal, abnormal and emergency operation and casualty conditions which may affect the system shall be considered in determining the maximum system pressure. In any system or subsystem with relief valve protection, the nominal setting of the relief valve, as described in subparagraph covering relief valve setting and installation herein, shall be taken as the maximum system pressure (relief valve accumulation may be ignored). System design pressure - The pressure used in the calculation of piping and piping components minimum section thicknesses. Unless otherwise specified herein, the design pressure shall not be less than the maximum system pressure. Nominal operating temperature - The approximate temperature at which an essentially constant temperature system operates when performing its normal function. Maximum system temperature - The highest temperature which can exist in a system or subsystem during any operation. Normal, abnormal, and emergency and casualty conditions shall be considered in determining the maximum system temperature. Normally closed space - A space not normally requiring access; therefore closed, but not locked. Manned space - Manned by watchstanders during normal underway steaming. Unmanned space - A space requiring no dedicated watchstander (automated or remotely monitored and controlled machinery room). Locked space - Any space requiring a lock as identified in Section 604, excluding those spaces which are manned. Accessible space - A space in which entry is gained by means of a non-bolted door, hatch, or scuttle, that is not locked, or can be entered without breaking the material condition of the compartment, or both. Accessible location - Located within a space that is convenient for operation. System design temperature - The temperature for which all equipment in the system or subsystem shall be designed. Unless otherwise specified, the design temperature shall equal or exceed the maximum system temperature. Flammable fluid - Any fluid which can be ignited by application of a flame or otherwise ignited under atmospheric conditions. Hazardous fluid - Any gas or liquid on the Consolidated Hazardous Item List. Loop system - Two single mains cross connected at both ends, with maximum possible physical separation between mains.

Damage control valve - A valve with one or more of the following assigned functions: Preventing progressive flooding between main watertight subdivisions. Isolating machinery, equipment, or sections of piping systems in the event of casualty or damage to the machinery, equipment or section of the system. These valves may be operable from local and remote stations or they may consist of two valves in a machinery plant system on opposite sides of a watertight boundary. In this regard, the valves serve the same function as valves commonly referred to as "casualty control" valves. The primary purpose is to minimize the effect of loss of machinery plant vice performing the function of maintaining watertight integrity or providing a material condition of readiness for a specific system. Providing segregation of portions of systems, during normal operation of the ship, to achieve material conditions of readiness. Open piping path - A path for the free flow of water between a compartment or boundary containing the piping and the interior of the piping. A path, otherwise open, shall be considered not open if it contains valves or other type closures which are closed during normal ship operation and which, if left open during normal ship operation, would result in escape of fluid or a reduction in system performance which would be immediately detectable by operating personnel. A path, otherwise open, shall be considered not open if it embodies special piping arrangements, such as loop seals, which will prevent the flow of water assuming a head to Flooding Water Level I (FWL I) per Section 070. 505b2. General Design Criteria To avoid contamination of fuel and lube oil tanks (and others as considered applicable), it is acceptable to install spectacle flanges at the lowest practical elevation in all tailpipes terminating within the tank. This will enable the tank to be temporarily blanked during cleaning/repair operations. Flanges, gasket, and bolting materials shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-777. During the modification or repair of tank-connected piping, flanged joints can be added to avoid cleaning/gas- freeing extensive lengths of piping (and possibly entire tanks) subject to the restrictions of paragraph 505e2. and the following: Piping must be supported on both sides of the flanged joint. The flanged joint (flanges, bolting, gaskets) shall be as approved herein. This modification is not allowed for piping within potable or feedwater tanks unless piping is trunked, or fuel service suction piping. When a 2 inch NPS or smaller carbon steel valve is replaced, a valve per NAVSEA STD DWG 803-2177525 shall be used as a replacement when shown applicable in MIL-STD-777. Spray shield requirements for flanged joints, flanged valve bonnets and fuel/lube oil strainers shall be in accordance with NSTM Chapter 505. (The "Arrangement" section of that portion of the document is not applicable to repair procedures.) Strainer shields and drip pans are not required for duplex strainers in accordance with NAVSEA DWG. 803-5001048. Welding and brazing of piping systems and the inspection of these joints shall be in accordance with Section 074. For both ferrous and non-ferrous piping all groove welds in piping shall be complete penetration welds. The bending, fabrication, and control of piping and tubing shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1627. During repair, replacement or modification of existing piping systems, situations arise where corrosion-susceptible materials are utilized in a corrosive environment (for example, carbon steel in bilges or tanks). It is intended that repair and replacement of existing equipment and structure shall duplicate the existing installation, insofar as possible/practicable. However, in cases of significant system additions, changes or replacements, it is acceptable to apply new system standards and materials in order to reduce corrosion. Repair or modification to flammable fluid piping systems including authorized removal of deactivated systems shall utilize only welded or brazed caps for blanking retained system piping connections. Bolted blanks shall not be used. Brazed caps shall not be used in fire hazardous locations identified in MIL-STD-777. All material shall be of a quality equivalent or superior to existing material. Section 630 specifies approved corrosion control techniques. Flanges of slip-on design may be utilized subject to the following limitations: a. limitations stated in MIL-STD-22 and S9074-AR-GIB-010/278; b. not be used in P-1 class piping systems (however, slip-on flanges may be used in internal combustion engine exhaust systems); c. MIL-STD-22 P-42 weld design is approved for P-2 class piping systems with the exception of butterfly valves, spiral wound gaskets, or oil system applications. The Supervisor can grant approval for the use of a P-42 joint in P-2 class oil systems where downstream components cannot be damaged, or operation impaired, by the sudden dislodgement of accumulated contaminants or where downstream components are protected by filters or strainers. Slip-on flange thickness shall be at least equal to the applicable Navy or commercial specification or standard for the material, temperature, and pressure required. Pipe and tubing bends under internal pressure - The minimum wall thickness for piping or tubing extrados (back wall) after bending shall not be less than the minimum wall thickness required for straight piping or tubing, unless NAVSEA approval has been granted to use controlled bending procedures, which result in extrados thinning of no more than 9 percent below the required minimum straight pipe or tubing wall thickness.

For piping or tubing bent to a radius of five (5) diameters or more, no additional thickness is required for the piping or tubing intrados (front wall) over that of straight piping or tubing of the same size, material, and pressure rating. For piping or tubing bent to a radius of less than five (5) diameters, the piping or tubing intrados shall have an increase in wall thickness over that wall thickness required for straight piping or tubing of the same size, material, and pressure rating, such that the resulting membrane (hoop) stress in the intrados does not exceed the maximum allowable stress specified herein. 505b3. Environmental Conditions Piping and piping components in air conditioned spaces within a machinery room shall operate satisfactorily at temperatures up to the highest temperature specified for the non-air conditioned portions of the machinery room where the equipment is located. Piping and piping components shall operate satisfactorily under the following conditions: External climatic - Where installed in exposed locations under the climatic conditions specified in Section 070.0 Ships motion - Where the ships motions of trim, list, pitching and rolling is as specified in Section 070.

JP-5, gasoline, fuel, and diesel fuel marine systems 15 ft/sec maximum for shipboard transfer systems. 25 ft/sec maximum for loading and unloading operations. 505b5. Corrosion and Erosion Precautions Seawater and brine - Piping conveying sea water or brine shall be protected from corrosion and erosion by the following: Minimizing flow turbulence by limiting free-stream velocities to specified maximum limits. Eliminating abrupt changes of diameters in piping runs and connections by the use of gradual transitions in diametrical changes where such changes cannot be eliminated. Using long radius elbows, sweep tees, and Y and lateral type fittings. Sizing pumps to match system and attached equipment design requirements. Components - Body passages in throttling devices shall be designed to provide for gradual changes in flow direction. In addition, the downstream cavity shall be as large as practical to permit dissipation of the issuing jet before making wall contact. At points where direct impingement at close range does occur and cannot be eliminated, section thickness shall be increased to provide adequate material to withstand the additional erosion effect. Materials - Galvanic action between dissimilar materials shall be avoided by installation of waster spool pieces, impressed current systems, or waster sleeves except for titanium piping systems. For titanium piping systems, see NAVSEA S9505-A1-DDT-010. 505b6. Equipment and System Isolation and Damage Control Requirements Equipment isolation - Machinery, equipment, and piping components, (except relief devices), shall be fitted with cutout valves as necessary to provide for operation, maintenance, and overhaul of the equipment without necessitating shutdown of the other services provided by the same system. System isolation - Drain lines, test connections, pressure fill connections, and similar lines terminating to atmosphere shall be provided with an isolation from the atmosphere. If approved, plugs or caps may be used instead of valves in infrequently used applications where the plug or cap is accessible. Plugs and caps shall be tethered by means of rust-resistant chain or nylon line. Where systems are cross-connected, an isolation valve shall be installed in the cross-connect piping. Loop systems servicing the machinery plant shall be provided with cutout valves in the loop between branch takeoffs to equipment serving identical functions. Check valves shall be installed where reversal of flow would be detrimental to proper functioning of the system. Stop-check valves, or combinations of cutout valves and check valves, shall be installed where there is a possibility that reversal of flow could flood a space. Sea-connected piping shall be fitted with a cutout valve as close as practicable to the hull, sea chest, or overboard discharge fitting, as applicable. Machinery plant seawater systems which penetrate a watertight main subdivision bulkhead shall be provided with casualty control valves at the bulkhead, operable from either side of the bulkhead.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Section 505

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

a. Prevent progressive flooding where piping penetrates a main watertight subdivision bulkhead and an open piping path exists (or could exist in the event of a piping rupture) between either of the two main watertight subdivisions separated by that bulkhead. b. Isolate sections of piping systems in the event of damage to a part of the system to: (1) Prevent continued flooding of the main watertight subdivision in which the damage has occurred, or (2) Minimize resultant damage to damage control system (Section 070), or (3) Allow continued utilization of intact portions of damage control systems to the maximum extent practicable. c. Segregate portions of a system, as required elsewhere by these specifications, during normal operation to achieve material condition of readiness. Damage control valves used for progressive flooding prevention shall be located as close to bulkheads as possible, consistent with other requirements herein: such as use of reseating machines in place for welded-in valves. System valves shall be utilized for progressive flooding prevention damage control valves by installing such valves at main watertight subdivision bulkhead penetrations as prescribed above. If the piping associated with a bulkhead penetration has an open path in only one of the two main watertight subdivisions separated by that bulkhead, the progressive flooding prevention valve shall be located in the side of the bulkhead on which the open piping path exists unless this requirement conflicts with other requirements herein. 505b7.

Suitable means to bleed pressure out of regulators and filtration equipment. Provision for pressurizing relief valves to facilitate setting without readjusting the pressure regulator. By-passes, manual or automatic, except those used exclusively to facilitate relief valve setting, shall be sized to pass system maximum flow requirements. Manual by-passes shall be capable of throttling flow smoothly. A warning plate, with the following inscription, shall be installed at each by-pass valve in high pressure, toxic, steam, or otherwise hazardous fluid systems: WARNING ENSURE THAT THE ISOLATION VALVES ON EACH SIDE OF THE PRESSURE REGULATOR ARE CLOSED BEFORE OPENING THE BY-PASS VALVE. Relief valves for pressure reducing stations shall be sized to pass the larger of the following: Full open regulating valve capacity. Full open manual by-pass capacity. Reducing stations may include flow-limiting orifices; in such case, relief valves may be sized for maximum capacity of the orifice if installed downstream of the orifice. 505b8.

of the installed relief valve when passing a flow equal to the maximum capacity of the relief valve. The maximum allowable blowdown permitted by the specification and the minimum required relief valve flow rate based on source flow shall not be used as the basis for sizing inlet piping. Where relief valve discharge piping is to be provided, it shall be arranged and sized so that back pressure does not cause unsatisfactory relief valve operation, either from a stability or capacity standpoint. Back pressure build-up shall be based on the maximum capacity of the installed relief valve rather than the minimum required relief valve flow rate based on source flow. The two types of backpressure mentioned herein are superimposed backpressure and total backpressure. Superimposed backpressure is defined as pressure at the discharge of a relief valve prior to the opening of that relief valve. Superimposed backpressure can exist where a relief valve discharges into a common line shared with other relief valves, or discharges into a pressurized or closed system. Total backpressure is defined as the total pressure that can exist at the discharge of a relief valve, and can comprise the combination of any superimposed backpressure plus the built-up backpressure created by the discharge flow of the relief valve. Where a total backpressure in excess of 10 percent of the set pressure of the relief valve can exist, a relief valve of balanced design shall be used. Where total backpressure is less than 10 percent of the set pressure and no superimposed backpressure exists, a relief valve of unbalanced design may be used. Where a superimposed backpressure can exist, a relief valve of balanced design shall be used, except that in cases where it is shown that the magnitude of the superimposed backpressure is never high enough to adversely affect the protection provided to the system or pressure vessel by the relief valve, an unbalanced relief valve may be used. In no case shall the total back pressure be in excess of 25 percent of the set pressure. 505b9. Pressure, Temperature, Level, and Flow Control Gages and thermometers shall be installed to indicate pressures, temperatures, liquid levels, and flow rates, as necessary for the safe operation, control, and trouble-shooting of systems, machinery, tanks, and equipment. Other sections of these specifications specify other applications for gages and temperature indicators. Lists of gages and thermometers for main gageboards are specified in Sections 252 and 504. In applications where the frequency and magnitude of load changes are such as to make manual control of the above functions impractical, or where these functions would not normally be frequently monitored and improper control could create a system or equipment casualty or personnel hazard, automatic control of the function shall be provided. The failure modes of each automatic control valve shall be examined in conjunction with the requirements of the system in which it is installed. For the most likely type of failure (such as loss of signal air or air supply for air-actuated valves), the valve shall be designed to assume a fail position which will satisfy the requirements of system safety while affording continued operation of propulsion plant systems, weapon support systems, and other vital systems. Requirements for automatically or manually controlling the above functions for specific applications shall be as specified in the applicable system and machinery sections of these specifications. Orifices - Orifices for purposes of regulating and not requiring an indicator shall be designed to be installed in a flanged or union joint, except those which are required to be welded or brazed into the system. In air systems, orifices may be installed in union joints. They shall have a part protruding beyond the adjacent flanges, and beyond insulation, if installed, so that presence of the orifice is evident. The size of the orifice hole shall be stamped on this protruding part. Orifices in seawater systems shall be nickel-copper, except orifices in titanium piping systems shall be titanium in accordance with ASTM B348, grade 2. A material suitable for the system fluid and velocity shall be used for other orifices. For noise critical applications, the requirements of Section 073 shall also apply. Orifices provided with equipment and machinery shall be installed in accordance with the equipment and machinery specifications or the manufacturer's standard practices when there are no specifications requirements. 505b10. Remote Valve Operation General - Where remote operation of valves is required and the type of operating system is not specified, selection shall be in accordance with NSTM 505. Where the location of the operating terminal of remotely operated valves has not been specified, accessible locations and spaces shall be selected and shall not interfere with free passage in walking areas or form an obstruction in working areas. Remote operation shall be provided for the following damage control system valves: Located in locked or unmanned spaces. Classified X-ray and located within compartments provided with bolted access plates. Classified Yoke and located within compartments classified X-ray. Classified ZEBRA and located within compartments classified X-ray or Yoke. At sea chests in compartments not normally manned. Remote control for non-propulsion plant piping system damage control valves and propulsion plant damage control valves located in unmanned spaces used for progressive flooding prevention shall be from the damage control deck, unless otherwise specified. Propulsion plant piping system valves in manned spaces, and used for progressive flooding prevention, shall be operable from those sides of the penetrated bulkhead on which an open piping path could exist between a break at the point of the piping penetration in the opposite

They shall be located clear of riveted seams and butts in shell and inner bottom plating, and clear of welded joints wherever practicable. The clearance shall be at least 3 inches between the attached fitting and a structural joint. Where intersections between fittings and welded structural joints are unavoidable, such as may be the case of main condenser sea chests, the line of intersection of the welded joint shall be normal to the structural joint. Where practicable, new sea chests shall extend between the shell plating and the innerbottom plating and be located on flat surfaces with limited obstructions to facilitate blanking. The flange for the attachment of the sea valve shall be as close as possible to the innerbottom plating. Separate sea chests shall be provided for similar services within the same space, such as fire pumps, and they shall be separated fore-and-aft and athwartship as far as practicable considering the ship design motions in accordance with Section 070. Sea chests shall be located and designed to avoid: a. Pick-up of discharged fluid which exits the hull through overboard discharges and follows the path of the flow lines about the hull, especially the ingestion of flammable fluids into fire pump and distilling plant feed pump suctions. b. High entrance losses or suction difficulties with the ship underway. c. The intake of air under any design operating condition including: (1) The ship motion conditions specified in Section 070. (2) Light ship displacement conditions. (3) Astern power operation. (4) Operation of PRAIRIE-MASKER systems. (5) Discharge of air from eductor overboard discharges. Where entrance of air cannot be prevented, the system shall be designed so that air can be trapped at a high point. The high point shall be vented continuously in a manner that provides automatic continuous discharge overboard of air and entrained seawater. d. Pick-up from the water's bottom. e. Noise sensitive areas such as the sonar dome. Overboard discharges shall be combined to the maximum extent practicable to minimize the number of shell connections. Overboard discharges shall be designed and located to avoid: a. Detrimental effects on items such as underwater logs and sonar. b. Discharging into the path of the flow lines about the hull which will cause the discharge to flow into suction sea chests. c. Areas for boat handling and accommodation ladders. For ships provided with air deballasting system, overboard discharge connections, except for ballast tanks above the load waterline which shall discharge overboard just below the deck, shall be located as far as practicable below their light ship waterline but above the

turn of the bilge. Sea valves shall be located so that minimum quantity of water will remain in the tanks after blowing down. Sea valves shall be located away from the proximity of the sea chests to prevent entrance of air into heat exchanger piping. Sea chest strainers - All sea chest strainers shall be fabricated from the same type of material as the hull plating. Each suction sea chest, except the main condenser injection chest and void flooding chests, shall be fitted with a removable perforated strainer plate. No parts shall project beyond the shell. Perforations shall be sized to filter out solid particulate matter which will not readily pass through the smallest flow passages not protected by a separate strainer. Branch lines from the mains shall be provided with individual strainers to protect installed machinery, equipment, and components as specified in Section 256. Main condenser injection chests shall be fitted with a bar strainer. The bars shall be installed in the fore and aft direction and shall be spaced 4 to 5 inches apart. All but the center two bars shall be attached by welding. The center two bars shall be made removable. Removable strainer plates and bars shall be secured by ordinary strength steel studs and self-locking nuts protected with the full hull coating system (Section 631). An anti-seizing compound of equal part by weight of grease Mil. Spec. MIL-G-23549, and 200 mesh fineness zinc dust, Fed. Spec. TT-P-460, shall be used to ensure ease of removal. To provide positive electrical contact between the hull and the strainer for corrosion control, tooth type lockwashers, Fed. Spec. FF-W-100, shall be installed. Void flooding chests shall be fitted with a bar strainer. The bars shall be installed in the fore and aft direction and shall be spaced 3 to 4 inches apart. Strainer plates and bars shall be free of all burrs and sharp edges. Strainer bars shall be streamlined. The free area through sea chest strainers shall be at least twice that of the area of the inlet connection of the sea valve. Suction sea chests shall be fitted with a 1-1/2-inch hose valve with a 3/4-inch adapter to permit the chest strainers to be back-flushed with steam or compressed air. Strainers shall be zinc coated in accordance with Section 632. Hull valve attachment and location - A hull valve shall be installed in each pipe connecting to a sea chest or overboard discharge fitting. This valve shall generally be located as close to the sea chest or overboard discharge fitting as practicable. Where the pipe passes through voids or tanks, the valve shall be located inboard of the voids or tanks. The valve shall be attached by the use of a take-down joint. Sea valves installed using stud bolts to attach the valve to the hull fitting shall not require removal of the stud bolts to remove the valve. Where more than one pump or eductor, or a combination of both, is connected to a sea suction or overboard discharge an additional valve shall be installed in each branch. Where a pump or eductor is located in a compartment other than the one in which the suction sea chest or overboard discharge fitting is located, an additional valve shall be installed in the compartment in which the pump or eductor is located. Structural and material requirements - Sea chests and overboard fittings shall be designed to meet the structural requirements of strength, reinforcement, opening shape, and location constraints specified in Section 100 and, unless otherwise specified, shall be fabricated from the same type of material as the hull plating. Material thickness of plating or piping used to construct the hull plating extension portion of sea chests shall not be less than the hull plating thickness. Plating for main condenser sea chests shall not be less than 1/2 inch thick. Unless otherwise specified, nozzles for sea chests and overboard fittings shall be manufactured from the same material as the sea chest or overboard discharge fitting and shall be designed to withstand the maximum pressure and piping forces and moments to which they will be subjected. In no case shall the nozzle thickness be less than 1/4 inch. For ships which require non-magnetic material and for small craft where size or shape of sea chests are such that they could not be maintained if made of steel, they shall be made of copper-nickel alloy (welded). These chests shall be bolted to the ship hull and structure. Corrosion protection - Steel sea chests and overboard discharge fittings shall be coated in accordance with Section 631, similar to the adjacent hull plating. Where copper-nickel piping is specified for the system, copper-nickel hull connections may be used. Copper-nickel overboard discharge connections shall be fabricated and installed in accordance with drawing NAVSEA No. 803-6397383. Copper-nickel sea chests shall be fabricated and installed in accordance with drawing NAVSEA No. 803-6397384. Where a non-ferrous sea valve is attached to a steel sea chest or overboard discharge fitting, a medium steel protection sleeve shall be installed to serve as a waster piece. In no case shall the thickness of the sleeve be less than 3/8 inch minimum and the inside diameter shall be the same as the inlet connection of the hull valve or the inlet piping, whichever is smaller. Where this is not feasible, such that the inside diameter of the sleeve must be less than the diameter of the inlet connection of the valve, the ends of the sleeve shall be chamfered, rounded, or tapered to provide a smooth transition. Where a non-ferrous sea valve is attached to a steel sea chest or overboard discharge fitting, a medium steel protection sleeve shall be installed to serve as a waster piece. The protection sleeve shall be designed in accordance with drawing NAVSHIPS No. 803-1749026. The attachment design for use with other types of takedown joints shall be as approved. Where the protector sleeve is secured by the use of body bound pins stress relieving of the protection sleeve during fabrication is not required. Where 3/8" minimum thickness of sleeve will restrict flow to the point of degrading system operation, a larger sea chest and hull valve will be required. Boiler blow sea chests are specifically exempt from requiring waster sleeves. See Section 221. Cathodic protection in accordance with Section 633 or other means shall be taken to reduce galvanic action to a minimum practicable extent between dissimilar metals in way of sea chests and valves connected to the hull plating.

505b12. Criteria for Pressure Design of Piping for New or Modified Systems (See Section 505h for repair and overhaul.) General - System components shall be selected and installed so the incorporated Contractor-and-Government- furnished equipment (CFE and GFE) is not subjected to a design pressure, as determined herein, greater than its limiting pressure-temperature rating. Straight pipe under internal pressure - For service rated piping, the applicable military specification shall be used. For non-service rated piping, the minimum allowable design wall thickness of pipe and tube shall not be less than the value determined by the following formula: PD Tm 2 (S+PY) + A

Where: Tm = P = D = S = A Y

= =

Minimum required wall thickness, inches. (See notes 1, 2 and 6). System design pressure, PSI gage. (See notes 3 and 4). Pipe or tubing actual outside diameter inches. Maximum allowable stress in the material due to internal pressure, at the system design temperature, PSI (see Table 12). Additional thickness in inches (See Note 7). A coefficient having values as given in Table 3.

NOTES: 1. If pipe or tubing is ordered by nominal wall thickness, the manufacturing tolerance on wall thickness must be taken into account. After the minimum wall thickness, Tm, is determined by the above formula, it shall be increased by the amount sufficient to provide the manufacturing tolerance allowed in the applicable pipe or tubing specification or required by the process. For standardization, when ordering pipe, a thickness for the size in question, listed in an applicable ASTM or government specification shall be used. 2. In general, if pipe or tubing is to be welded, Tm shall not be less than the minimum wall thickness required for welding by Section 074. 3. P shall not be less than 100 for ferritic and austenitic materials. 4. P shall not be less than 50 for non-ferrous materials. 5. The value of S shall not exceed that listed in Table 12. 6. If tubing is to be assembled with the bite type fittings, Tm shall not be less than 0.049 for tubing in sizes 1/2 O.D. and smaller, and 0.065 for tubing in sizes greater than 1/2 O.D. 7. To compensate for erosion and corrosion, the following values for A shall be used: 0.050 inch for non-ferrous material in contact with sea water either internally or externally. 0.065 inch for ferrous material in contact with seawater either internally or externally. 0.050 inch for 70-30 Cu-Ni material in contact with seawater both internally and externally. 0.100 inch for non-ferrous material (except 70-30 Cu-Ni) in contact with seawater both internally and externally. 0.100 inch for feed piping 1-inch NPS and larger and 0.075 inch for feed piping less than 1-inch n.p.s. 0.130 inch for ferrous material in contact with seawater both internally and externally. 0.065 for all steam drain and soot blower piping 0.00 for titanium material.

Provision of sufficient strength in piping and components to limit stress due to pressure transients to acceptable values. 505c. Components; Design and Selection 505c1. General requirements Material and component selection - Except as prescribed elsewhere herein, material and component selection for modified systems and new installations shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-777. For components not covered by MIL-STD-777, and the specifications and the drawings referenced therein, and for which a design has been approved with flanges to a different standard than specified herein for connecting systems, the Contractor shall install suitable mating flanges on the connecting system for attachment to the component. A list of such flanges shall be prepared as specified herein. Pipe or tubing of Bessemer steel shall not be used. Titanium piping may be used as an alternative to copper nickel (Cu-Ni) piping for fire main systems as defined in Sect. 521b, machinery sea water cooling systems in Sect. 256, and CHT suction and discharge piping in Sect. 593. NAVSEA S9505-A1-DDT-010, NAVSEA Design Practices and Criteria Manual for Titanium Piping Systems, shall be used in the detailed design, fabrication and installation of titanium piping systems in addition to the requirements specified herein. Titanium seawater piping systems may require an anti fouling treatment system. The above manual gives guidance on this system as well. When modifying/adding to existing ships systems, material and component selection can be in accordance with the original ship system design. This does not apply where the intent is to upgrade to current specifications or where ships systems are known to already have been upgraded to a more current specification. Piping systems materials shall be controlled in accordance with NAVSEA 0948-LP-045-7010. See Section 070. Components shall be designed to meet the vibration test criteria of MIL-STD-167. See Section 073. The specified component pressure and temperature rating listed in referenced specifications standards shall be equal to or greater than the system design pressure and temperature. At system design temperatures lower than those for which the component has been rated, the allowable working pressure of the component may be increased in accordance with published Pressure-Temperature rating tables (such as included in ANSI B16.5 and ANSI B16.34), or by the ratio of the material allowable stress at system design temperature to the allowable stress for which the component was initially rated. Pressure-Temperature rating tables shall take precedence over all methods of determining the component working pressure. Pressure design of components - The maximum operating allowable membrane stress in piping components when pressurized to their design pressure shall not exceed the value determined by the criteria for determining allowable stress given in the ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE, Section VIII, Appendix P, for ferrous materials and non-ferrous materials. Where the component is of sufficient complexity to preclude accurate calculation of the membrane stress, or the calculation method would be excessively costly, the maximum allowable operating pressure as defined in ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE, Section VIII, Division 1 may be determined by conducting a proof pressure test as specified herein. Where the structural details of a component are imposed on the Contractor by way of a Navy Standard Drawing, Government Specification, or Commercial Standard, the adequacy of the component to withstand rated pressure need not be verified. Joint bolting - Sufficient bolting area shall be provided to limit the stress induced in the bolting, by the joint hydrostatic end thrust, the residual gasket load, shock (where applicable), and static mechanical loads on the joint, from exceeding the allowable stress values given in or determined by the ASME BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL CODE, Section VIII, Division 1. In order to ensure that the required clamping force to overcome the above loadings is retained during operation, the following shall be taken into consideration in determining the required bolt preloads: Bolt relaxation (10,000 hours) Difference in the thermal expansion of the bolting and the flange. Change in modulus of elasticity of the bolting due to temperature. Difference in the effective length of the bolting and the flange thickness. In no case shall the cold pre-load overstress the flanges or exceed two thirds of the room temperature yield strength of the bolting material. In cases where the calculated required pre-load exceeds either or both of the above limits, the joint or system shall be redesigned to bring the required pre-load within these limits. 505c2. Valves Opening/closing requirements - All valves shall be capable of being fully stroked by one man within the system operational time requirements. All manually-operated valves, except push-pull and slide operated types, shall close with clockwise rotation of the handwheel. The maximum permissible handwheel seating force for manually-operated valves shall be in accordance with Table 4.

Relief valves with enclosed spring design with tight covers shall be used for the following services: Discharge to a closed system or tank that subjects the valve outlet to a back pressure when the valve is closed. Discharge to a closed system or equipment that subjects the outlet to sub-atmospheric pressure when the valve is closed. Flammable or combustible fluids. Toxic or explosive gases. Valve handwheels and wrenches - Handwheels shall comply with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 803-1385620. Where commercial valves are permitted to be furnished with machinery equipment, or in piping systems, handwheels normally furnished with these valves by the manufacturer, are acceptable (except cast iron handwheels) instead of special Navy handwheels, gearboxes and valve actuators of damage control and casualty control valves. Material for handwheels, gearboxes and valve actuators of damage control and casualty control valves requiring remote actuation shall be malleable iron, ductile iron, steel, or as otherwise specified by approved documents. The nylon (DuPont Zeytel) handwheels supplied on "Hoke" valves, as delineated on NAVSEA drawing No. SS-845-1889583A, may be used on gage valves, on gage boards, or directly underneath an identified gage, without color coding. Where special valves and cocks require the use of portable box or socket wrenches, the design shall prevent their removal except when the valve is closed. Such wrenches shall be labeled and stowed near the valves. A ratchet type wrench may be used whenever the valve location prevents complete wrench rotation, but valves shall be located to prevent the necessity for ratchet wrenches wherever practicable. Where necessary for rapid operation handwheels and wrenches shall have a handle to permit spinning. Where necessary for manual operation, impact type handwheels shall be provided. The impact feature is to apply to opening only. For all valves, except ball valves, the impact features may be incorporated. For ball valves, the impact feature may be adopted for opening or closing.

Selection and installation of pressure regulating and control valves - Generally, system pressure regulating and control valves shall maintain their regulated pressure within the limits specified on MS-18284 from no-flow to full flow under the ambient temperature and inlet pressure variation the valve will experience. On applications requiring a narrower band of regulation than shown on the above-referenced Military Standards, the Contractor shall specify the required valve characteristics on the system diagrams. Consideration will be given to permitting a wider band of regulation than shown on the above referenced Military Standard where it can be demonstrated that the system performance will not be adversely affected and that the system piping and components have a pressure rating compatible with the higher relief valve setting required. Verifiable evidence of conformance with the specified regulation requirement shall be prepared. Consideration shall be given to the between valves when selecting pressure regulating and control valves for a particular system. In all cases where valves are staged (installed in series) sufficient volume must be provided between valves to prevent cycling. In addition, sufficient unrestricted effective volume must be provided immediately upstream of all regulating and control valves to ensure smooth and stable control under all operating conditions. For control valves installed on lines leading to a condenser, the design shall be such that positive pressure is maintained on the packing gland at all times. Automatic regulating or control valves shall be installed at a high point in a line or system to prevent the collection of dirt or condensate in the valve. Performance and application - Valve design and construction shall be compatible with the forces and moments to which exposed in the system. Valves shall perform properly, without seat distortion, misalignment of working parts, or other detrimental changes under all required operating conditions. Gate valves and ball valves shall not be installed for throttling services. For limitations on throttling through the use of butterfly valves and system and service applications on the use of (either resiliently-seated or metal-to-metal-seated) butterfly valves, refer to MIL-STD-777. Where the type of cutout valve is not specified, the type selected (gate, globe, ball, butterfly, or angle or angle) shall be the one best suited for the service intended. Generally, a gate type shall be installed wherever pressure drop, or turbulent flow characteristics of globe and angle types would be detrimental to the system. Cocks shall not be installed in place of cutout valves unless they are necessary for proper operation of the system. Special check valves having springs, hold-open gear, or other special devices may be installed where required by system design. Hose valves with an exposed male threaded connection shall have a threaded cap for thread protection. The threaded cap shall be tethered to the valve. Unless specified otherwise, a hole per the detail drawing of the cap shall be provided to permit escape of valve leakage fluid, either continuously or with the cap unscrewed a quarter turn. 505c3. Flexible Piping Devices General - Flexible piping devices shall be used to connect sound isolated, resiliently-mounted machinery and equipment (such as water cooling units and electronic components) mounted on shock and vibration isolators to piping. These devices shall consist of an assembly of flexible elements designed to absorb all possible modes and amplitudes of travel of the machinery flanges with respect to the piping flanges. Selection and application of materials and components shall be in accordance with the following requirements. Flexible hose assemblies - To provide the necessary flexibility and to decrease transmission of noise through piping connected to resiliently-mounted equipment, see Section 073, flexible hose assemblies shall be used. Flexible hose assemblies shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S6430-AE-TED-010, Volume 1 (Technical Directive for Piping Devices, Flexible, Hose Assemblies) and NSTM chapter 9480. All flexible piping connections shall absorb the maximum designed excursions of the mounted equipment under condition of severe vibrations without overstressing the attached piping or the components to which the flexible connections are attached. The maximum motions (both in bending and torsion) shall be calculated from the predicted excursion of the point where the flexible connection is attached to the mounted equipment. Adequate protective measures shall be taken where failure of a connection would cause damage to electrical or electronic equipment, would spray combustible fluid on a hot surface, or would endanger personnel normally stationed in the vicinity. A single section of approved flexible hose connection shall be long enough to ensure that the hose will not be bent more sharply than its minimum bend radius even under maximum deflection. In all cases the flexible hose shall be supported at its end fittings or as close as possible thereto, in order to avoid excessive vibratory stresses on small gage piping. In order to facilitate maintenance the lengths for each type and size of flexible hose connection and fitting shall be standardized to the maximum extent possible and the tolerance for these lengths shall be: plus or minus 1/8 inch for lengths 12 inches and under plus or minus 3/16 inch for lengths 12-18 inches plus or minus 1/4 inch for lengths 18-36 inches inclusive plus or minus 1 percent for lengths over 36 inches plus or minus 1/8 inch for lengths 36 inches and under when used in a 180 degree or U configuration (matched parts)

Expansion joints - Expansion joints of similar pipe size and designed for the same pressure shall be of standard dimensions for interchangeability. Systems containing expansion joints shall be adequately supported and anchored so that expansion joints are not exposed to motions or loads greater than those for which the joints are designed. Lateral as well as vertical supports shall be provided for the pipe adjacent to the joint to preclude lateral loading of the joint beyond its designed movement. Expansion joints shall be in accordance with the listed specifications: ASTM F 1123: synthetic rubber, flanged Single arch (sea water service) Commercial Item Description A-A-50604: synthetic rubber, non-flanged, corrugated. Commercial Item Description A-A-50605: TFE fluorocarbon resin, corrugated with ductile iron flanges. Rubber expansion joints may be used in sea water cooling systems and in systems which do not contain flammable fluids where flexibility is required due to machinery being resiliently mounted or due to working of the ship. Rubber expansion joints may also be used for flexibility purposes in circulating water and auxiliary seawater systems - such as the following systems: Scoop injection, condenser overboard discharge, circulating water, and auxiliary seawater. Rubber expansion joints for these systems shall comply with ASTM F1123. Rubber expansion joints shall not be used in pairs in (90 degree) dogleg installations or be used with GRP piping. Rubber expansion joints, in accordance with ASTM F1123, may be used in the ballast and bilge drainage systems of amphibious and auxiliary ships only. Rubber expansion joints shall not contain offsets, reducing sections, or be wedge shaped. Metal expansion joints shall not be used except where approved herein for specific applications. In unavoidable situations, use of metal expansion joints will be considered, the joints and their use being subject to NAVSEA approval, as described herein. Where metal expansion joints are used, they shall be of the bellows type. Bellows sections may be of corrugated or plate construction. Corrugated bellows may be single or multiple. Internal flow liners shall be used to prevent erosion of the bellows. Materials shall be selected which are compatible with the environmental conditions to which the joint is subjected. Materials which are subject to work hardening shall not be used for expansion bellows. Bellows expansion joints and attached piping as required shall be fitted with restraints and guides, as necessary, to insure that the expansion joints will not be subjected to motions for which they are not designed. Bellows type joints shall not be used for absorbing torsion. Expansion joints with offsets, reducer sections, or that are wedge-shaped shall not be used. Installation - Rubber or metal expansion joints shall have parallel end connections on a common center line.

Expansion joints shall not be utilized to compensate for misaligned piping or carry the weight of the attached piping. Prior to installation, mating flanges in piping shall be spaced to meet the standard expansion joint length, to be parallel to each other, to be perpendicular to the common flange centerline and to have their centers within the specified alignment tolerance for the expansion joint. Bolt holes in pipe flanges shall be in alignment with bolt holes in expansion joint flanges. 505c4. Pipe supporting elements The broad terms "supporting elements" or "supports" as used herein shall encompass the entire range of the various methods of carrying the weight of pipe lines, insulation, and the fluid carried. It, therefore, includes "hangers" which are generally considered as those elements which carry the weight from above, with the supporting members being mainly in tension. Likewise, it includes "supports" which carry the weight from below, with the supporting members being mainly in compression. In many cases a supporting element may be a combination of both of these. In addition to the weight effects of piping components, consideration shall be given in the design of pipe supports to other load effects such as those introduced by maximum operating pressure, thermal expansion, shock and motion of the ship, as applicable. Supporting elements shall be fabricated and assembled to permit the movement of piping caused by external forces or by thermal motion. The design of supporting elements shall be based on all the concurrently acting loads transmitted into the supporting elements.

Where resonance with imposed vibration or other unacceptable vibration occurs during operation, supporting elements shall be added to remove these effects. Load calculations for variable and constant supports (such as spring hangers) shall be based on the maximum operating conditions of the piping. They shall not include the weight of the hydrostatic test fluid. However, the supporting elements shall be capable of carrying the total load under test conditions. Where anchors or guides are provided to restrain, direct, or absorb piping movements, the design shall take into account the forces and moments at these elements caused by internal pressure and expansion and contraction of the pipe under the full range of operating conditions. Supports shall be installed on or adjacent to concentrated weights in the piping system to preclude contact with adjacent pipe, equipment, and structure under shock loading (see Section 072), or under working of the ship where shock design is not required. Flange bolts or valve bonnet bolts shall not be used for attaching hangers or foundations or support for piping. Supports shall not be installed on takedown joints or in any way interfere with the installation of takedown joint spray shields in flammable fluid systems. Variable supports shall be selected so that the movement from cold to hot position does not exceed 75 percent of the spring scale. Hangers shall be adjusted so that they will not bottom during any operating condition. Spring hangers and swaybraces shall be in accordance with MSS SP-58 (Pipe Hangers And Supports - Materials, Design And Manufacture). Supporting elements in accordance with NAVSEA No. 803-5001054 may be used on surface ship piping systems; however, their restraining effect shall be considered in evaluating the flexibility of the piping system. These supports and their spacing shall be modified as necessary to meet shock requirements, where applicable. Supporting elements for 90 degree right angle configuration flexible connections shall be in accordance with drawing, NAVSEA No. 803-5001054 Resilient mounts shall be in accordance with Section 073. The installation of supports shall be in accordance with publication, NAVSEA 0948-LP-063-9010. Where resilient mounts are used for supports, the supports shall be at least two in a "V" configuration with suspension such that each mount will be loaded along its axis and will provide maximum pipe support and shock attenuation under vertical and athwartship shock. Where used as swaybraces, mounts may be used singularly. The support installation shall be such that the rod of the mount will be as free from angular deflections as possible, and shall permit vertical adjustment after erection. The maximum angular deflections of the mount from its normal unstressed position shall be as follows: Piping system cold; up to 10 degrees deflection. Piping system at maximum operating conditions; up to 5 degrees deflection. The total angular deflection from the cold condition to the hot operating condition shall not exceed 10 degrees. For services equal to or less than 650 degrees F, pipe hangers shall be lined with a liner material to prevent metal to metal contact between the pipe clamp and pipe when the pipe clamp and pipe are of dissimilar materials. For services above 650 degrees F, minimum contact hangers shall be used similar to that shown in MSS SP-58. For all hot services, the hanger rod between the pipe clamp and resilient mount shall be of sufficient length to preclude mounts from being subjected to temperatures in excess of 125 degrees F. Constant and variable support hangers shall have hot and cold positions marked on the support. Applicable liner materials shall be in accordance with Table 6. Asbestos liner materials shall not be used. Metallic particles or reinforcing wires shall not be used in any liner materials.

505d. Structural Requirements 505d1. General All modified systems and new installations shall have sufficient flexibility to prevent: Overstressing of piping materials or supports. Leakage of joints. Unacceptable distortion of connected equipment. In determining the above, pressure, weight, thermal expansion, shock, supports, vibration (including that caused by attached machinery), and movements and rotations of terminal points caused by thermal and mechanical deflections and rotations of ships structure at piping attachment points and working of the ship shall be considered. Design for pressure transients - Pressure transients which occur upon change in flow velocity shall not result in objectionable noise levels, detrimental vibration, shock, or excessive internal pressure such that the calculated stress in the pipe does not exceed the maximum allowable stress in Table V for the coincident temperature by more than 15 percent during 10 percent of any 24-hour operating period or more than 20 percent during 1 percent of any 24-hour operating period. Water hammer - Water hammers in steam heating systems are characterized by a loud metallic pounding noise, which occurs when vapor cavities in a liquid collapse rapidly resulting in a pressure wave which is propagated at the speed of sound. For water, the pressure rise equals 62 PSI for each ft/sec of fluid velocity. Unless system piping and piping components are designed or arranged to compensate for this pressure wave, bulged piping, leaking joints, and leaking or failed components can result. In order to prevent bulging of piping and leakage or failure of joints and components, heavier walled pipe (additional wall thickness) or stronger materials shall be used in systems known to be susceptible to water hammer. Condensate from supply lines shall be minimized via continuous drainage, in accordance with Sect. 534. Steam piping shall be arranged to avoid low points from where by action of the ship attitude, condensate may be suddenly injected in the steam supply stream resulting in possible damage. Steam supply piping to a main should be a continuous downward run, at maximum inclination permitted by the surrounding arrangement to avoid or minimize the necessity for continuous drainage. 505d2. Flexibility Flexibility shall be incorporated into system design by the use of bends, loops, and offsets in the piping. Use of expansion joints shall be minimized. The following are examples of situations which generally create unacceptable stress levels and inadequate flexibility and therefore, should be avoided: Use of small piping runs in series with larger or stiffer pipe. Localized reduction in size of cross-section of piping. Local use of weaker materials. Line configurations, wherein most or all of the piping run lies near or on the straight line between end terminals or anchors. Excessive use of supports, particularly rigid rod hangers and similar type restraints, especially on pipe systems subject to appreciable thermal movement. Informal piping flexibility analysis - An informal piping flexibility examination shall be performed for modification or new installation arrangements of the following piping systems: Cryogenic systems Internal combustion engine exhaust systems (when below P-1 temperature limit) Flammable fluid systems All steam systems for which a detailed piping flexibility analysis is not required Compressed gas systems Toxic cleaning fluid systems High pressure feed and condensate systems High pressure drain systems In addition, any piping system not mentioned above, which can operate under significant temperature changes (secured-to-operating), shall have this informal piping flexibility examination performed. This informal examination shall consist of a visual review of the arrangements of the above systems with regard to piping configuration, support locations, type and structural characteristics, pipe size and wall thickness, material, shape, relative motion between terminals and anchor points, and temperature fluctuations. When this examination results in doubt that adequate flexibility has been provided, detailed calculations shall be performed.

For modifications to an existing system, a detailed piping flexibility analysis shall be performed where the modification results in a less flexible system as compared to the system prior to the modification. Detailed calculations shall be made in accordance with a recognized method of flexibility analysis. Where calculations are performed on computers, a NAVSEA approved program shall be used such as naval program MEC-21 or the program shall be proved by conducting a problem of known solution of the greatest complexity to be handled in the new program. The program shall contain built-in checks to minimize the possibility of human or machine errors. When requested by shipalt or overhaul work package, the following information shall be forwarded to NAVSEA by the Supervisor for information together with a request for approval: Input data including hull and machinery movements and results, where calculations are performed by computers. A copy of the working drafts, (no special format) when calculations are made by other means, sufficiently complete so the method and assumptions used by the Contractor can be evaluated independently. A description as to the methods employed to determine hull and machinery movements and rotations where applicable. Piping flexibility analyses shall be performed and submitted to NAVSEA for approval within 90 days of the submittal of the piping and piping support arrangement drawings required for the analysis. Where detailed flexibility calculations are not required, system may be analyzed by simplified or approximate methods that are appropriate for the system in question. Approximate or simplified methods may be applied only if they are used for the range of configurations for which their accuracy has been demonstrated or documented. Flexibility calculations between anchor points shall treat the system as a whole. Significance of all parts of the system and of all supports and their effects shall be considered. Calculations shall include applicable intensification and flexibility factors for components other than straight pipe. These factors shall be in accordance with Military Standard MS-18285. If other configurations are used, a complete rationale and justification for these factors shall be provided. Where simplifying assumptions are used in calculations, the possibility of underestimating the forces, moments, and stresses shall be considered and forwarded as part of the calculations. Dimensional properties of pipe and fittings shall be based on their nominal dimensions. The total expansion range from 70 degrees F to the maximum system temperature or from 70 degrees F to the lowest system temperature shall be used in all calculations. In addition to the movement due to expansion of piping, the linear and angular (rotational) movements due to hull deflection, and deflections due to thermal movements of attached machinery and equipment shall be considered. No credit for cold spring shall be allowed in determining stress ranges. The Contractor shall obtain the machinery manufacturer concurrence, where applicable, to use cold spring, in reducing reactions below those specified by the manufacturer prior to submittal of flexibility calculations. Flexibility calculations for the stress range, Se, shall be based on the modulus of elasticity, Ec, at 70 degrees F. For 70-30 copper nickel, Mil. Spec. MIL-T-16420 or MIL-C-15726, the elastic modulus shall be taken as 22 x 106 PSI. For all other materials, Ec and other parameters shall be obtained from an authoritative source such as publications of the ANSI Piping Codes or the National Bureau of Standards. The computed stress range shall be combined in accordance with the following formula: Se = the square root of Sb2 + 4St2 Where: Se = computed stress, range PSI Sb = iMb/Z = effective bending stress, PSI St = Mt/2Z = effective torsional stress, PSI Mb = effective bending moment, inch-pounds Mt = torsional moment, inch-pounds Z = section modulus of pipe, inches cubed i = stress intensification The maximum computed stress range, Se, based on Ec for the cold condition, shall not exceed the following allowable stress range, Sa: Sa = f(1.25 Sc + 0.25 Sh) Where: Sa = allowable stress range, PSI Sh = allowable stress in the hot condition, Table 12 Sc = allowable stress in the cold condition

f = stress reduction factor, applicable to mechanical or thermal cyclic conditions in accordance with Table 8 The value of (f) for each system analyzed will be specified. An approved method shall be used to evaluate the effect of combined mechanical and temperature cycles by incorporating the use of a stress reduction factor (f). TABLE 8 STRESS REDUCTION FACTORS Number of equivalent full cycles Stress reduction factor, f 1.0 7,000 and less 0.9 14,000 0.8 22,000 0.7 45,000 0.6 100,000 0.5 250,000 and over The design and spacing of supports shall be analyzed to assure that the sum of the longitudinal stress due to weight, pressure, and other sustained loadings does not exceed the stress value (Sh) given in the allowable stress tables (Table 12). Calculations and drawings for determining support loading, support type, sustained piping system stresses resulting from support arrangement, structural characteristics, and location of all supports, shall be submitted with the flexibility calculations for the system under analysis. The force and moment reactions Rh and Rc in hot and cold conditions, respectively, shall be obtained from the flexibility calculations based on the modulus of elasticity at room temperature, Ec, as follows: Reactions in the hot condition: Rh = R(1-0 .67C)Eh/Ec Reactions in the cold condition: Rc = R[1-(Sh/Se)(Ec/Eh)] or, Rc = CR, whichever is greater, and with the further condition that: (Sh/Se)(Ec/Eh) is less than one, Where: C = cold spring factors varying from 0 for no cold spring to 1.0 for 100 percent cold spring. Ec = modulus of elasticity at cold system design temperature Eh = modulus of elasticity at hot system design temperature R = reactions from flexibility calculations using Ec Rc and Rh = maximum reactions estimated to occur in the cold and hot conditions, respectively Se = maximum computed stress range as determined by the formula above Force and moment reactions shall not exceed limits which the connected machinery and equipment can safely sustain, as established by the equipment manufacturer. The design of safety valve piping for reaction loads shall be in accordance with Appendix II of ANSI B31.1-1983, Power Piping. Detailed isometric diagrams of piping under examination shall form a part of the calculation report. Calculations shall show maximum stress ranges and their individual locations in each section of piping under examination and shall show force and moment reactions at all connecting units, anchor points, and balance points, and shall include sketches indicating orientation of the principal axis with respect to the center line of the ship for all machinery terminal points. In addition to the above, forces and moments shall also be calculated such that their principal axis coincides with that of machinery and equipment, at terminal points. Where expansion joints are used, calculations shall be prepared and submitted with the applicable piping flexibility analysis and shall include the following, as a minimum: The thermal movement imposed on the expansion joint. All anchor locations. Expansion in excess of that which the joint can absorb. Reaction at all equipment and anchor points. Cold pull of expansion joints. Cold Spring - The beneficial effect of judicious cold springing in assisting a system to attain its most favorable position sooner is recognized. Inasmuch as the life of a system under cyclic conditions depends on the stress range rather than the stress level at any one time, no credit for cold spring is allowed with regard to stresses. In calculating end thrusts and moments acting on equipment, the actual reactions at any one time, rather than their range, are significant. Credit for cold springing is accordingly allowed in the calculation of thrusts and moments, provided an effective method of obtaining the designed cold spring is specified, used, and approved by NAVSEA.

Detailed flexibility calculations are not required if the system duplicates a successfully operating installation, or if the piping system can be adjudged adequate by a detailed comparison with a previously-analyzed system. In these cases a report shall be prepared, and shall include rationale as to the similarities of the system with that for which calculations or service experience or both exists. 505e. Arrangement 505e1. General Piping shall be arranged in a neat, orderly manner and shall be installed to assure maximum reliability of system operation. Piping and piping component arrangements shall conform to the access and other applicable requirements of these specifications. With respect to installing piping and piping components behind space sheathing (Section 637), consideration shall be given to grouping those components requiring periodic access to minimize the number of access plates in the sheathing. Piping shall permit free passage in walking areas and the performance of all normal and emergency operations in designated working areas. Piping shall not interfere with the operation or control of machinery and equipment and shall be installed to permit ready accessibility to machinery and equipment for inspection and maintenance. Piping shall not obstruct visibility and access required to control, monitor, or adjust machinery, equipment, or their component parts. Piping shall be arranged so that machinery and equipment which requires periodic overhaul may be dismantled with a minimum amount of disturbance to the piping. To facilitate periodic removal of hull valves, flanged spool pieces 1 or 2 feet long shall be installed at the inboard side of hull valves if the weight of piping between the flanged inboard side of hull valve and next inboard component exceeds 200 pounds. Cutout valves shall be located to isolate sections of piping intended for removal during maintenance, overhaul, or the shipping and unshipping of machinery and equipment so that the least interference with continued operation of the system results. Maintenance underway shall not require disassembly of piping that would prevent continued ship propulsion. Double valve protection shall be provided for hazardous fluids unless otherwise specified. Inlet piping to safety and relief valves shall be short and direct. There shall be no stop valve between the equipment or piping being protected and the point of discharge unless explicitly specified. The open ends of discharge piping shall be located so as not to damage machinery or equipment, or endanger personnel. Reliefs from toxic, flammable, and inert gas systems shall not terminate where their discharge could be picked up by intakes. Relief of flammable liquids shall be to a suitable lower pressure part of the system. The relief of toxic or flammable gases shall be to the atmosphere above the weather deck. Piping shall not obstruct or interfere with the operation of doors, hatches, manholes, scuttles, or openings covered by portable plates, nor obstruct or interfere with the ready and convenient access to access panels, access doors, inspection manholes, handholes, sight glasses, drain plugs, or test cocks used for inspection and maintenance on machinery, boilers, and equipment. Piping shall be arranged so that it will not normally be subjected to mechanical injury and to preclude its use for other purposes (such as grab rods, hand rails, and steps). Where this is impracticable, means shall be installed for protecting the piping. NAVSEA Dwg S1500-860085 shows an acceptable protective method. Piping arrangements which cause turbulent flow detrimental to the system shall be avoided. Inlet piping for centrifugal pumps shall be arranged to preclude air pockets and uneven velocity distribution at the impeller inlet. If the use of an elbow at the pump suction is required by space considerations long radius type shall be used. Unnecessary high and low points shall be avoided in the arrangement of piping. Where necessary for the proper functioning of the system and its connected machinery and equipment, vents and drains shall be installed at the high and low points. "Valleys" in steam drain piping shall be avoided to the maximum extent possible in accordance with Sect. 534. If low points cannot be avoided, minimize potential for water hammer by installing traps and separators to remove entrained condensate. Vent valves in flammable liquid or toxic systems shall be provided with short lengths of terminal tubing to permit collection of escaped liquid in a portable container during venting. Where the system is served by an oily waste drain collecting system, the vent valve shall be arranged to discharge into that system via a funnel or drip pan. Terminal tubing shall also be provided for other fluid system vents where necessary to prevent objectionable spray or splash or to avoid contact with toxic fluids. Branch connections shall be located to minimize turbulence and the type of connection used (straight or sweep tees and lateral fittings) shall be suitable for the flow characteristics of the system. In those systems where erosion is a problem, (such as steam drains), the amount of erosion shall be minimized by avoiding the use of tees or other fittings which cause a sudden change in direction. Insulated piping shall not be located where it is subject to wetting from leakage, condensation, or splashing. In unavoidable situations, the lagging shall be shielded in a manner which will prevent wetting of the insulation. Piping shall not be located where drops or spray from leaks, condensation, or splashing would damage electrical or electronic equipment. Where this is not practicable, the equipment shall be shielded or metal casings shall be installed around the piping. Casings shall be completely circumferential with a diameter of at least 1/2 inch greater than the outside diameter of the pipe, including its insulation. Casings shall be open at both ends, with the ends clear of the equipment, and shall be as light as practicable. Splash or deflector plates shall be provided at the terminal of frequently used drains to the bilge to prevent direct water impingement on foundations and ship structure such as shell plating and tank tops.

505e2. Compartmental Except as necessary to serve the space or tank, piping shall not be led through spaces or tanks where a hazard to the space, space contents, or piping would result. Such spaces or tanks include: Fuel and oil tanks such as those which may contain MOGAS, DFM, JP-5, lube oil, and oily waste. Central control station and damage control rooms Chain lockers Enclosed Operating station Feed water tanks Innerbottom and voids Magazines, handling rooms, and weapon checkout rooms Potable water Refrigerated spaces Sewage collecting, holding, and Transfer (CHT) tanks Steering gear compartments Wiring trunks and enclosures Potable water and feed water system piping shall not be led through tanks containing liquids other than potable water and feed water, respectively. If deviations from these requirements are approved by the Supervisor to suit unavoidable situations, no takedown joints shall be installed in the piping within the space or tank. In addition, if other piping is run through potable or feed water tanks, this piping shall be trunked and the trunk shall be open at the lower end to allow drainage. Piping installed within tanks shall be of a material which will not cause contamination of the tank contents, and the material of such piping shall be suitable for both the tank contents and pipe contents. All piping to the armored steering gear compartment shall enter through the bottom of the compartment. Flammable fluids shall not be led through uptake spaces, catapult steam trunks and voids. Piping shall not be led through inner bottom tanks and voids except as necessary to serve the tanks themselves or as necessary to avoid penetration of the underwater side protective system. Piping shall not be led through brig, dental and medical spaces, if avoidable, except as necessary to serve equipment therein. The amount of piping led through messing and living spaces shall be minimized. Piping cleanouts shall not be located in medical, food service, or dental spaces. Flammable fluid piping shall not be led through the following spaces, except to serve equipment therein. Unless authorized by the Supervisor to suit unavoidable situations, no takedown joints shall be installed in the spaces affected. Central control stations and damage control rooms Electrical, electronic, weapons control, or interior communication rooms Enclosed operating stations Generator rooms Liquid oxygen stowage spaces Motor rooms Oxygen-nitrogen producing rooms, stowage rooms, and fill rooms Switchboard rooms Flammable fluid piping shall not be led through uptake spaces. Steam and steam drain piping shall not be led through paint mixing rooms or paint and flammable liquid storerooms. Unless unavoidable, piping which is normally under pressure shall not be led through voids, cofferdams, or other normally non-vented spaces. Where this is unavoidable, vents shall be installed in accordance with Section 506. Piping which may operate under a vacuum, or at temperatures over 300 degrees F, shall not be led through the bilge region as defined in Section 070, except as specifically approved to suit unavoidable conditions. If such an exception is approved by the Supervisor, no mechanical joints shall be installed in vacuum piping located in the bilge unless specific approval to install such joints is obtained. Requests for approval of such exceptions shall identify how bilge water will be kept from contacting mechanical joints. Approved exceptions to this requirement shall be identified on the applicable system diagram. However, if bilge water entering the system will have no detrimental effect on the piping system or its function, the vacuum piping may be allowed in the bilge area, such as bilge stripping, eductor suction, etc.,. Unless it is an existing condition or 316L, stainless steel piping shall not be run in the bilge region. When approved, CuNi/NiCu may be used in place of the stainless steel in the bilge when it suits arrangement and the system design parameters. Water piping of any type shall not be run through electronic equipment spaces, except as necessary to serve the equipment therein or as necessary to serve firemain washdown countermeasure system nozzles or to suit unavoidable situations. For the case of washdown countermeasures systems, see special requirements in Section 521. See Section 593 for limitations on sewage piping.

505e3. Structural The piercing of decks and bulkheads shall be minimized, particularly the piercing of transverse main subdivision bulkheads and the bulkheads of any underwater side protective systems. Bulkheads and decks shall generally be pierced close to boundaries of compartments. Piping penetrations in the weather on EMP designated hulls shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-1310. Where piping passes through holes in non-tight structure, provision shall be made to keep the pipe from bearing on the structure. Piping shall be arranged to avoid cutting plating butts and seams, bulkhead stiffeners and deck beams, where practicable. Where cutting welded butt or seam joints is unavoidable, the piping penetration shall be made across the joint and shall not notch the joint. Piping shall be kept clear of removable (welded, riveted, or bolted) plates provided in the ship structure for the shipping and unshipping of machinery of equipment. Where it is impracticable to keep class P-1 piping, 4-inches NPS or larger, clear of designated areas marked for removal of plates in the ship structure for installation and removal of machinery or equipment, it shall be flanged to facilitate its removal. Flanging of other piping shall be avoided. Deflections of bulkheads, decks, and other structure due to gun blast, missile blast, air or water pressure, or the working of the ship, shall be considered in the arrangement of piping, and the necessary clearance and flexibility shall be provided. Piping shall be arranged to permit maintenance of ship structure. Other sections contain additional requirements governing the relation of piping and structure. 505e4. Valves and Components In the arrangement of piping, valves shall be located and oriented to permit convenient operation of the valve handwheels from their normal operating position. Remote operating gear shall be provided for valves which are not in accessible spaces or locations. In this connection, it should be noted that the torque that can be applied by one man to a handwheel located where firm footing is not available, is considerably less than that which can be applied to a handwheel located on a horizontal valve stem at a conventional height. Refer to requirements herein for maximum permissible handwheel seating force for manually operated valves in their installed position. Valves in horizontal piping shall be arranged with their valve stem pointing above the horizontal wherever practicable. Valves located beneath floor plates or gratings, in the overhead out of reach of operating personnel, or otherwise located out of convenient reach of operating personnel standing on deck, platforms, grating, or steps provided for the purpose of reaching the valves, shall be provided with valve stem extension shafts. Each extension shaft shall terminate in a handwheel or level at the terminus of the extension shaft. A valve-by-valve review of the need for extension shaft shall be made by the Contractor during design development. Thermometers, gages, gage glasses, and other monitoring equipment or devices including valve position indicators shall be arranged to permit ready vision or audibility from equipment operating areas. If the operating area is not defined, the instruments shall be visible from the normal walk-ways or access. Instrumentation, high maintenance items which can not normally be repaired in place, special throttle valves, and valves which operate automatically or semi-automatically (such as safety, relief, regulating, and governing valves) shall be fitted with takedown end connections. Valves and components welded or brazed into the piping shall be accessible for repair, reseating, and overhaul in place. They shall be located to permit removal, rewelding, rebrazing, preheating, and stress relieving, as necessary, in the event major repair or replacement is necessary. Sufficient clearance shall be provided around welded valves to permit inplace use of the valve reseating machines shown on drawings, NAVSHIPS Nos. S4824-1385814, S4824-1385815, S4824-1385816, S4824-1385817, S4824-1385818, and S4824-1385819. Damage control valves used for isolation and segregation shall be installed in an accessible location. Globe and angle valves shall generally be arranged with the system pressure or vacuum under the disc so that in the shut position the pressure or vacuum is not exerted on the bonnet joint or stem packing. Check valves shall be selected and oriented so that their characteristics are compatible with the system requirements and ship motion requirements. Wafer type check valves may be used in vertical risers with the flow in an upwards direction. Unless otherwise specified, manifolds may be used, provided such usage results in a simplified piping arrangement or advantageous operational features. They shall be installed with the manifold body just above the operating level, wherever practicable. Valve maintenance for manifolds shall be possible without removing the entire manifold. Wherever possible, a minimum length of straight piping equivalent to 10 NPS diameters shall be installed downstream of orifices. However, in no case, shall the length of straight piping be less than five nps diameters downstream of the orifice except that Cascade Orificial Resistive Devices (CORDS) do not require minimum length of straight piping downstream of the CORD. Valves shall not be installed in brig cells. 505e5. Joints The number of joints in piping systems shall be minimized through the maximum application of pipe bends. Where pipe bends are not practical or possible, butt weld, socket weld or brazed fittings, where permitted, shall be used to the maximum extent, with the use of

Section 505

flanged and similar takedown joints minimized. Takedown joints in piping containing flammable fluids shall be located as remotely as practicable from hot surfaces. Where not otherwise specified on approved system diagrams, root connections shall comply with NAVSEA drawing B-214, or Military Standard MS-16142 except that root connections for ferrous piping, in accordance with figure No. 1(b), may be modified for socket weld connections in lieu of flanged connections for attaching piping. No more than two pipes size reductions shall be made within a single butt welding (bell type) reducing fitting unless otherwise specified on approved diagrams. Where not otherwise specified on approved system diagrams, gage connections and gage piping shall comply with drawing NAVSEA NO. 803-1385850. Drawing NAVSEA No. 5000-S6505-841567 shows an acceptable method of installing salinity cells in piping. The use of non-standard fittings shall be avoided as a means for reducing the number of joints. (For example, a 6- by 5- by 4-inch tee should not be used in place of a 6- by 6- by 4-inch tee to which a 6- by 5-inch reducer could be welded on the run.) Systems shall be arranged so that shop fabrication of assemblies of piping will be utilized to the greatest extent practicable. Permanent and takedown joints fabricated aboard ship shall be located to provide adequate clear space for the necessary make-up, welding, brazing, inspection, and maintenance. Joints located in areas inaccessible for maintenance shall be welded or brazed. Where necessary for removal of machinery, equipment or pipe sections, takedown joints (such as flanges or unions) shall be provided. Complex assemblies (such as assemblies of valves, strainers, and traps in a high pressure drain system) that cannot be satisfactorily repaired in place and ordinarily require repeated removal, shall be demountable as assemblies by using a minimum number of takedown joints between the root valves. Spacer pieces, in conjunction with flanged takedown joints, may be used in unavoidable situations, subject to approval by the Supervisor. Where used, their use and the reason therefore shall be noted on applicable drawings. They shall not be used to correct fabrication errors or inferior workmanship and shall conform to the following constraints: Spacer pieces shall not be used to correct misalignment, or to facilitate fitup in hull integrity areas; for example, outboard of the hull valve, or in P-1 piping systems. Minimum thickness, where both sides are phono-finished for sheet gaskets, shall be 1/8 inch. Minimum thickness, where one side is grooved for "O" ring shall be 3/8 inch. Minimum thickness, where two sides are grooved for "O" ring shall be 3/4 inch. Maximum thickness shall be 2 inches. Maximum taper shall be as specified in Table 10, based on the flange diameter. Maximum number of spacers shall be limited to one spacer per run per plane of the run. A pipe run shall be considered to be that length of pipe between any two flanged terminals. Special cases will be considered, where there is a change in direction, with only one flanged joint in that plane. All bolts used in conjunction with flanged joints involving spacer pieces shall be of the same length, and shall comply with the same applicable specification requirements in all other respects. The use of oval bolt holes to permit fitup is prohibited. Clearance between bolt and hole shall be as required for the service and location involved. Takedown joints shall be located where they are least affected by pipe line forces due to thermal expansion or other external loadings. Generally, this will require the joints to be located away from bends or offsets. Raised face flanges shall not be used against bronze or other relatively low strength composition valves, fittings, or flanges. Branch connections in piping shall be made by the use of integral fittings such as tees, laterals, and crosses, wherever possible. Fabricated branch outlets (such as saddles and plate reinforcements) will be permitted only upon specific approval by the Supervisor. Unreinforced branch connections will not be permitted in any system where the design pressure is over 150 PSI or temperature is over 449 degrees F. Obtaining the required reinforcement via weld buildup is not permitted and any branch connection fabricated via the use of welding only will be considered as unreinforced. Mechanically attached fittings (MAFs) are approved alternatives to brazed and welded joints in accordance with the requirements of NSTM 505. For approved applications, MAF's may be substituted for fittings identified in drawings and specifications without requesting approval of the cognizant Hull Planning Yard. Carbon steel Elastic Strain Preload (ESP) bulkhead fittings, Lokring Corp P/N series and Lokring drawings CS-BHP1-PXX or CSBHP2-PXX may be used as an alternative to the plain sleeves shown on drawing, NAVSEA 803-1385866, for sizes 2 inches and below. Bulkhead fitting ESP’s shall be installed in accordance with the ESP uniform Industrial Process Instruction (UIPI), except that piping passing through the fitting shall be continuous (not used for joining piping). 505e6. Tailpipes Tailpipe connections to tanks and compartments shall comply with Table 11. 505e7. Fire Hazard Reduction

For main and auxiliary machinery spaces on other surface ships: Spray shields shall be installed on flanged joints and flanged valve bonnets in piping containing lubricating oil and hydraulic fluids located in the direct plane of, and 10 feet or less from an electrical switchboard, electrical equipment enclosure, or motor. Protection is not required for electrical equipment which is watertight, spraytight, totally enclosed, submersible, or explosion proof. Spray shields shall be installed on flanged joints (including simplex strainer flanged covers) and flanged valve bonnets in piping containing flammable fluid other than lubricating oil and hydraulic oil. For areas outside main and auxiliary machinery spaces, spray shields shall be installed on flammable fluid piping flanged joints and flanged valve bonnets located in the direct plane of an electrical switchboard, electrical equipment enclosure, or motor. Spray shields are not required for the following: Piping not subject to pump discharge pressures, such as lube oil storage tank gravity fill lines, and pump suction piping which cannot be pressurized through a cross-connection with, or part of, the operation of another system. Piping located in voids or cofferdams. Bilge pump discharge piping, except where the pump is part of a tank stripping system.

505f. Fabrication & Installation 505f1. Fabrication Subject to material availability, fabrication of non-ferrous piping greater than 4" nps shall be welded. Where alternate methods of construction are approved herein, silver-brazed joints in piping systems with wall thicknesses of 0.250 inch or greater shall be avoided. Mitered bends - Mitered bends may be used in nonflammable, nontoxic, incompressible fluid piping systems or gaseous escapes, overflows, and vents to atmosphere provided the following conditions are met: The minimum thickness of a segment of a miter bend shall be determined in accordance with this section. The required thickness thus determined does not allow for the discontinuity stresses which exist at the junctions between the segments. These segments discontinuity stresses are reduced for a given miter as the number of segments is increased. Miter bends consisting of miter segments with the included angle of any segment greater than 45° or constructed such that the intrados segment length is less than 6-times the segment wall thickness shall be limited to internal pressures no higher than 10 PSI. For these applications, wall thickness allowances for discontinuity stresses may be neglected. Miter bends consisting of miter segments wherein the included angle of any segment is equal to or less than 45 degrees and the intrados segment length is equal to or greater than 6-times the required segment thickness can be used in system applications up to and including 100 lb/in2 provided the total number of full pressure or thermal cycles does not exceed 7,000 for the life of the piping system. For these services, the wall thickness shall be increased to account for discontinuity stresses. The design calculations shall be prepared as part of the piping flexibility report and analysis and shall include a discussion as to how the discontinuity stresses are included in the design. For all miters, full penetration weld design shall be used in joining miter segments. 505f2. Installation Wherever remote valve control piping penetrates decks or bulkheads, it shall have a deflection bend on each side of the bulkhead or deck of not less than the equivalent of 180 degrees bend to a 6-inch radius. Small sized piping attached to reciprocating equipment shall incorporate the flexibility requirements specified for instrument piping on drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385850. Flange bolts or valve bonnet bolts shall not be used in attaching supports for foundations or piping unless approved by the Supervisor. Valve bonnet flange bolting may be used to support locking devices in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. S4824-1385509. Clamps and similar support devices shall not be welded to the system being supported or components thereof.

505h. Repair and Overhaul (see Section 505b12.) 505h1. General The repair and overhaul of systems, equipment, and components is intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and not necessarily intended to return overhauled items to the original manufacturing drawing tolerances. The Supervisors Work Specification shall identify the class of overhaul (i.e. class B) authorized for the item. Where applicable, the Supervisors Work Specification shall invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved Technical Repair Standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the item or system (i.e., valve, filter) shall be in accordance with applicable drawings, or technical manuals as modified by the overhaul criteria paragraphs herein. Requirements and definitions of class of overhaul (i.e., Class A, B) and the use of authorized Technical Repair Standards (TRS) is provided in Section 042 herein. When replacing existing ship's components and where it is impractical to adhere to MIL-STD-777 requirements, material and component selection may be in accordance with the original ship system design. This does not apply where the job intent is to upgrade to current specifications or where ship's systems are known to already have been upgraded to a more current specification or in fire hazardous areas as defined by MIL-STD-777 where silver-brazing restrictions apply to JP-5, gasoline, hydraulic oil, AFFF (dry piping only), oxygen, air, nitrogen, propane or other systems as prohibited in MIL-STD-777. All silver-brazing joints removed for repairs or incidental to modifications in these systems in fire hazardous areas shall be replaced with socket or butt welded joints or NAVSEA approved mechanical connections. See Section 221 for requirements for boiler blow piping. Repairs or modifications of existing 90-10 Cu-Ni piping in all CHT systems, and seawater systems susceptible to accelerated erosion (excluding heat exchanger retubing), shall be accomplished using 70-30 Cu-Ni piping of the same size and specification. Replacement of existing seawater piping with 90-10 Cu-Ni piping, shall be accomplished only in locations where (1) inspections show no evidence of accelerated erosion, and (2) seawater velocities (either calculated, or measured) during normal operation satisfy the criteria of NSTM 505, Table 505-5-1, for 90-10 Cu-Ni; or (3) the expected life of the replacement material meets the remaining service life of the ship. Inspections for accelerated erosion in seawater piping shall consist of: (1) visual examination of accessible piping interior surfaces, (2) UT wall thickness measurements of system piping, or (3) review of repair records for frequent pipe replacements. Inspections for accelerated erosion shall be directed towards locations immediately downstream of turbulence generators such as: orifices, pumps, check valves, short radius bends, and throttled valves. All Cu-Ni piping shall be replaced from the most convenient flange to flange joints where practical. When replacing a short section in a long piping run , transitions between 90-10 Cu-Ni and 70-30 Cu-Ni may be flanged, welded, or joined by a brazed fitting or MAF, as allowed by either MIL-STD-777 or the system diagram. Additionally, all newly installed seawater piping systems shall satisfy the fluid velocity criteria of NSTM Chapter 505, Table 505-5-1, during normal operating conditions, for the specified piping material. Repairs or modifications of existing Cu-Ni piping, excluding heat exchanger retubing, may be accomplished using titanium, except that titanium may only be installed in those systems, and to the requirements, approved and specified for titanium in 505c1. Considerations for repairs or modifications should be initial installation cost and life cycle cost, and mission benefits based on, in part, remaining ship life. Piping shall be replaced from the most convenient flange to flange joint where practicable. Titanium to Cu-Ni transition shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9505-A1-DDT-010. If seawater heat exchanger retubing is required, prior NAVSEA approval is required to replace 90-10 or 80-20 Cu-Ni, with 70-30 Cu-Ni due to lower thermal conductivity and reduced biofouling resistance of 70-30 Cu-Ni leading to reduced heat exchanger performance. Use of 70-30 Cu-Ni is not approved for individual tube replacement where either 90-10 or 80-20 Cu-Ni is specified. Repairs or modifications of existing copper service steam and service steam return piping shall be accomplished using Cu-Ni piping of the same size. Piping shall be replaced from the most convenient flange to flange joint where practical. For living and manned spaces (such as shops, working areas, messing and berthing areas, crew washrooms and water closet areas, spaces manned during general quarters), and all other areas where personnel may normally be in close proximity to steam piping (e.g. passageways), or where personnel escape could be hindered, piping shall be repaired or replaced by welding and inspecting in accordance with NAVSEA S9074-AR-GIB010/278. Use of MAFs per section 505e5 is also acceptable on joints connecting Cu-Ni piping to Cu-Ni piping. Use of MAFs on copper service steam piping is not permitted due to reliability problems encountered with MAF fittings installed on existing copper pipe. Brazing in these spaces shall only be used where necessary and when used shall conform to NAVSEA 0900-LP-001-7000 requirements for P-3a special piping including ultrasonic inspection regardless of size or pressure, with fittings in accordance with MIL-F-24227 or approved fitting determined to be appropriate by the repair activity and in accordance with MIL-STD-777. For other than these living or manned spaces, welding is still preferred, however any one of these three joint types (i.e. welded joint, Cu-Ni to Cu-Ni MAF joint, or brazing except that brazing need only conform to NAVSEA 0900-LP-001-7000 for P-3b piping) may be used. For insulation repair/replacement/installation on any existing, modified, or reinstalled copper service steam piping and copper service steam return piping in the above noted areas, portable insulation pads shall be used around changes in pipe direction (e.g. 90 degree bends) and around all brazed joints in service steam (and service steam return) to aid in an inspection. Repair welding and inspections of components shall be in accordance with S9074-AR-GIB-010/278.

Where a visual inspection determines the presence of a defect, utilize 5X magnification to identify if the defect is detrimental to continued satisfactory and safe operation. Where necessary, the inspection methods of MIL-STD-271 may be employed to quantify the extent of the defect. During repair or replacement, upgrading materials or components to latest requirements is permissible providing the upgrade does not detract from system or component performance or safety and Supervisor approval is obtained. When a rotating auxiliary is removed for overhaul, the connecting piping alignment shall be checked. If mating flange alignment is not satisfactory, existing system hangers and arrangement shall be checked and the misalignment shall be corrected. 505h2. Sea Connections When protection sleeves require replacement, they should be manufactured per paragraph 505b10. Where this new design is not compatible with this existing installation, the original design shall be used. Corrosion protection for replacement steel sea chests and overboard discharge fittings shall be in accordance with paragraph 505b11. 505h3. Criteria for Piping Replacement for Repair or Overhaul For replacement criteria for boiler blowdown and other pressure vessel piping, refer to Section 221. As specifically authorized by the appropriate work document, 600 and 1200 psi nominal pressure propulsion boiler soot blower piping and high pressure steam drain piping down to the first drain cutout valve downstream of the orifice shall be surveyed and assessed for material condition. Visual inspections shall be made for external corrosion and, when internal access develops due to accomplishment of other work items, for internal corrosion and erosion damage. Ultrasonic wall thickness inspections shall also be made to ascertain if there is any corrosion or erosion damage of the internal surfaces of the piping. The visual inspection, UT and analysis by the planning yard shall be used to determine condition of piping for continued safe operation and reliable performance. For propulsion soot blower piping, these surveys must be accomplished during every CNO scheduled depot level overhaul/availability (PMA) or when damage is experienced or integrity is suspect, whichever occurs first. When overhauls and availabilities are canceled or scheduled beyond the established phase maintenance period, the time between inspections shall not exceed 30 months. The visual and ultrasonic inspections shall extend from the steam root valves to the soot blower flanges and include the entire drainage piping down to the reservoir and up to the last drain valve. The inspection periodicity for other piping systems is in accordance with NSTM Chapter 505 paragraph 505-1.3 requirements unless specifically scheduled in the ship's PMS. The visual inspection, UT survey and associated reporting requirements detailed below for soot blower and HP drain piping shall also apply to inspection of boiler pressure vessel piping. (The piping included in the Boiler Strength and Integrity Inspection requirements of NSTM 221). Piping shall be prepared and inspected for corrosion and erosion damage as follows. Note that based on conditions found by the visual inspection, ultrasonic inspection may be required at either identical locations or additional adjacent measuring points as selected by the visual inspector. The visual inspection shall be done concurrently with the UT survey to facilitate the required coordination and communication between personnel. a. Preparation - Prepare sketches and forms required to meet report attributes shown in (d) below. Clean all areas identified during visual inspection as having aggressive corrosion in the form of loose flaking rust, scale or pitting. Do not use grinders, needle guns or chipping hammers. Areas inside pits or large wasted excavations may be filled to facilitate transducer placement. Areas adjacent to small isolated pits must be cleaned and mechanical pit depth measurements taken when indications are greater than 1/32 inch deep. A one inch wide circumferential band shall be cleaned at locations discussed in (b) below, as well as, at any areas required to pursue minimum readings. Cleaned surfaces shall be free of rust, paint, scale and corrosion products to produce a clean, moderately bright metal surface. All pipe hangers shall be removed and particular care taken to clean contact surfaces and temporarily support the weight of the piping. b. Ultrasonic Measurements - Ultrasonic thickness measurements shall be made at cross-sectional locations throughout the entire piping system. In specific locations of the system subjected to significant and aggressive directional changes, pipe size changes, low points, heel of bends, welds and suspect areas based on visual examination, inspection locations shall be approximately every 3-6 inches along the pipe. Other locations should be measured every 3 feet. At each location on the pipe the inspection should be at 4 equally spaced quadrants around the pipe. Each area shall be approximately 45 degrees of the circumference by 1/2 inch long the axis of the pipe. This area should be scanned and both the lowest reading and the average reading in the area recorded. If scanning shows indications of internal erosion damage, the indication shall be pursued with the transducer to a point where thickness readings start to increase. c. Evaluation Criteria - Pipe with thicknesses equal to or less than the values listed in Table 13 shall be replaced. Pipe with thicknesses greater than the values listed in Table 13 shall be evaluated to ascertain that continued deterioration will not cause the wall thickness to go below the values in Table 13 before the next scheduled CNO availability. The depth of pits greater than 1/16 inch deep shall be subtracted from adjacent UT readings when pit size does not permit transducer placement.

d. Analyzing, Reporting and Record Keeping - The above survey inspection results shall be submitted to and evaluated by the planning yard. The resulting report and recommendations shall include and show the following: (1) Results of the preliminary visual inspection. (2) Indicate minimum wall thickness criteria used and source (reference document). (3) Sketches showing all locations UT tested and areas of corrosion identified during visual inspection must be provided. The sketches must be detailed enough to locate test points relative to bends, welds, valves and other fittings. (4) Data sheets showing nominal pipe size (in fractional notation), pipe outside diameter (in decimal notation - 3 places), and lowest and average thickness measurements at 4 points (top, bottom, port and starboard or forward, aft, port and starboard) approximately 90 degrees apart at each numbered location. If letter designations A, B, C and D are used, the convention is to show "A" facing up (on horizontal or towards the sketch viewer on vertical), other readings shall proceed clockwise. (5) Replacement recommendations must clearly identify the sections to be replaced. (6) Each report shall apply to only one system. (7) Report distribution shall include the ship, cognizant SGPI, NAVSSES (022) AND NAVSSES (043D). (8) The name and certification level of the examiner, and specifics on the type of equipment, transducer, frequency, couplant, etc. used. NOTE: The activity making the survey shall be responsible for the quality of the survey and the accuracy of the data recorded. The planning yard shall initiate immediate action to evaluate the data and make an engineering analysis to determine if the piping needs replacement to assure continued safe operation and reliable performance of the system. The surveying activity shall maintain records a minimum of six years; the planning yard the life of the ship. Propulsion soot blower replacement piping shall be carbon steel schedule 80 per either MIL-P-24691/1 Grade B or ASTM A-106 Grade B for all systems with source steam from a boiler auxiliary steam main; replacement piping shall be chrome-molybdenum steel per either MIL-P-24691/2 Grade P-11 or ASTM A-335 Grade P-11 for all systems with source steam from a main steam system. High pressure steam drain replacement piping shall be schedule 80 and replacement piping for boiler LP drains and vents to the first valve shall be schedule 80. Schedule 80 pipe shall not be used for piecemeal replacement in systems built with SCH 40 pipe. When replacement of any SCH 40 pipe is required, entire system upgrade to schedule 80 must be accomplished. For piping outside the boiler pressure vessel boundaries and not installed in boiler blow down, soot blower, or high pressure drain piping systems, the minimum allowable thickness is to be determined using the applicable selected record drawing (SRD) as built minimum wall thickness for strength; which corresponds to the minimum wall thickness without additional factors for fabrication or corrosion and erosion. If an SRD is not established, then calculate the minimum allowable thickness using the Section 505b12 formula for new or modified systems with the exception that the additional thickness “A” factor shall not be added to compensate for erosion and corrosion. When the calculated minimum wall thickness is less than 0.050 inch, use 0.050 inch. 505h4. Components Flat gasket sealing surfaces - Examine sealing surfaces. These surfaces include pipe flanges and parting joint faces. Defects such as pitting, scratches, and corrosion are allowable provided the density or size of the defect does not form a leakage path spirally or transversely across 50% of the area between a pressure boundary and the external surface of the part. The depths of individual sealing surface defects shall not exceed 0.010 inches. No defects are allowable on high pressure steam sealing surfaces of the steam chest mounting surface. Emery cloth, filing, grinding, scraping, lapping, or honing may be used to restore the casing to usable condition. Care must be exercised not to damage plated, ground or polished surfaces rendering them useless as sealing surfaces. When hand repair is not satisfactory, machining of the surface is allowable to bring it into acceptable condition or to prepare it for welding or plating and subsequent remachining to drawing specifications. Do not take a clean-up cut on the casing parting joint without careful consideration of the effect on internal clearances. In neither case shall the initial machining result in a loss of more than 10% of the original material of the part. Wall thickness inspection requirements - Erosion is permitted to a depth of 20% of the design wall thickness. However, individual erosion pockets shall not exceed 2% of the total surface. Pitting is permitted over the entire surface with individual pitting depth not to exceed 1/8 inch or 20% of the design wall thickness, whichever is less. Concentrated pitting (pit spacing approximately 1/8 inch) of depth described above is permitted, provided it does not cover an area which exceeds 2% of the total surface. Repair as required in accordance with the instructions contained herein. Keyway and key repair criteria - High spots in keyway may be removed by machining or grinding. Do not unnecessarily repair any keyway; instead, use a step key up to a maximum of 0.010 inch oversize. If key tightness cannot be corrected with a step key, remachine worn/damaged keyways to recommended oversizes as follows: Maximum of 0.015 inch oversize for a 1/8 inch key and increasing oversize allowance of 0.010 inch for each 1/8 inch increase in key size up to a maximum of 0.075 inch.

Flange and Sealing Surface Thickness - For raised face flanges sealed with spiral-wound gaskets, the raised face may be cut down for resurfacing to a height of 1/16 inch provided: 1. The outer metal ring on the gasket does not contact the recessed faces of the mating flanges, and 2. The loss of face height does not cause excessive flange-to-flange facial gap during subsequent flange make-up. NOTE: The above does not apply to male/female type flanged joints. For other gasket surfaces, material removed for resurfacing shall not exceed 10 percent of the design or drawing thickness. Gear teeth repair criteria - Scraping of teeth for the sole purpose of achieving total tooth contact is prohibited. However, scraping is permissible for the removal of a local hump or deformation unrelated to wear. Software - Unless otherwise specified, all softwear (gaskets, 0-rings, packing, mechanical seals, etc.) shall be replaced during overhaul. Component repair - For economical reasons, the first consideration for component overhaul is the replacement of subcomponents subject to wear. Also, in the process of overhaul, certain methods of repair are available to correct corrosion, porosity, damage, or wear as follows: During repair or replacement, upgrading materials or components to latest requirements is permissible providing the upgrade does not detract from performance or safety and Supervisors approval is obtained. Weld repair - Weld repair of components and internals shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 074 and S9074-AR-GIB010/278. Weldability of the item material shall be considered before attempting this repair method. For example, gun metals and bronzes usually exhibit poor weldability and/or porosity. Certain grades of monel and copper-nickel, plus the highly-alloyed stainless steel per ASTM A 296 (CN-7M) are weld-repairable. Weld repair is normally used for repairing eroded or damaged castings, eliminating porosity in castings, and repairing gasket mating faces. Impregnation - Impregnation of porous, non-ferrous castings, excluding copper nickel, shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-276 and manufacturer's recommendations. The maximum porosity leakage rate, allowable casting materials, and impregnation procedures are specified in this Military Standard. Impregnation is normally used for eliminating porosity in castings. Impregnated castings are specially marked and are restricted from any further repair processes which utilize heat in excess of 300°F (see MIL-STD-276). Brazing repairs - Brazing repairs shall be in accordance with NAVSHIPS 0900-LP-001-7000. Brazing repairs will be restricted to re-attachment of piping connections. As brazing necessitates high heat input to castings, which can cause cracking and porosity, appropriate measures shall be taken to limit heat input only to the area to be repaired. Coating and patching compounds - With Supervisors approval, certain non-structural repairs, such as repairing damaged gasket mating faces, protecting against erosion, 0-ring grooves, etc., may be made in accordance with Section 630. Valves - Class B overhaul - Technical Repair Standards (TRS) contain complete requirements for class B overhaul of piping system components. In the absence of an applicable TRS, requirements for a class B overhaul are as follows: Disassemble, clean, and visually inspect all parts for damage and defects. Pay particular attention to the surface finish and condition of seats, disks, parting faces, back seats, plugs, gaskets sealing surfaces, spigot fits, seal ring sealing surfaces, sliding surfaces, etc. Where a visual inspection is not sufficient to verify the presence of a defect or quantify the amount of damage, the inspection methods of 505h1 may be employed. Defects or damage (i.e., cracks, pits, erosion, deformation) which are detrimental to continued satisfactory and safe operation, shall be corrected or where more economical, replaced. Inspect threaded areas for damage. Inspect stems, stem assemblies, spools, etc. for straightness. Inspect disks, spools, bores, bonnets, spigot fits, etc. for out-of-roundness. Inspect seats, bores, spools, assemblies, etc. for concentricity. Verify dimensional conformance of critical items (i.e., sliding clearances, spigot fits, surface finish of seats, disks, seal ring seating areas) to manufacturer's drawings, technical manuals criteria. Correct conditions which will prevent continual satisfactory and safe operation. All valves - For metal-to-metal seated valves, machine, grind, lap, or spot-in disks, gates, to seat to obtain 360° line contact. Reassemble valve using new software (packing, 0-rings, gaskets, seal rings, non-metallic seats and disk inserts, and pins.) Plug valves - When bluing plugs to bores, 80 percent minimum surface contact evenly distributed over 100 percent of the area is required with no leak path identifiable. Vertical misalignment of ports shall not exceed 1/16 inch. Gate valves - When bluing, the contact line should not exceed 3/16 inch in width and shall appear in the lower 75 percent of the gate seating surface. Insure clearance exists between the bottom of the gate and the body with the valve closed tightly. Globe valves (straight, angle, stop check) - When bluing, the contact line should not exceed 1/16 inch width and should appear on the lower portion of the seat. Relief valves - During overhaul, existing spring should be replaced or given a test for compression set, spring rate, free length, etc., in accordance with the original design criteria. Attach a metal tag with ship name and hull number, date of lift test, lifting pressure, valve number or identification. 600 lb Class and above steam and feed valves - Requirements of NAVSEA technical manual S9253-AD-MMO-010 through 030 can be used for the repair and overhaul of 600 and 1200 lb class propulsion plant valves. Sealing surfaces finish on gates, disks, seats, backseats, and body/bonnet seal ring seating areas should be 32 RMS or smoother.

505k. Testing Requirements 505k1. General General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094 herein. For shipboard and in-stop hydrostatic testing and for alternatives to hydrostatic testing, the general acceptance criteria, test duration, pressure gages, overpressure protection, and safety precautions of NSTM Chapter 505 are applicable. All inspections and hydrostatic tests shall be completed before the system is operated. Deficiencies revealed during tests shall be corrected followed by a repeat of the test. All components and piping shall be tested in the shop when possible. Temporary blanks, plugs, gages, etc., installed to accomplish repair work or testing shall be controlled by one of the following methods: Attach a visible tag to the temporary item to assure it is removed prior to system operation. Maintain a written record of any temporary item with a signed check-off verifying its removal. Tightness test - All valves shall receive a tightness test as described herein. Operational test - All valves shall be checked for proper operation as described herein. Other components - Unless otherwise specified, other components shall receive hydrostatic, tightness, and operational tests. Non-structural tanks which form a part of a system, but which are not pressurized when in operation shall be tested to the tank design pressure with the same fluid used to test the associated system. Pressurized non-structural tanks shall be tested with the associate system. See section 192 for structural tanks. Hydrostatic test - A hydrostatic test is a test where a component, portion of a system, or entire system is pressurized with a liquid and inspected for leakage and deformation. The hydrostatic test shall be performed after any required cleaning and flushing but prior to any required disinfection. Joints, including welds, shall be left un-insulated and exposed for examination during the test, unless they have been previously satisfactorily tested to at least the pressure specified herein. Hydrostatic tests shall be in accordance with NSTM Chapter 505 except as noted herein. Unless otherwise specified herein, the hydrostatic test pressure shall be 135 percent of the system design pressure but not less than 50 PSIG. However, the as built hydrostatic test pressure shall not be exceeded unless the purpose of the installation or modification is to upgrade the system design pressure. Except as noted in NSTM Chapter 505, no leakage or permanent deformation is allowed. At least 30 minutes shall elapse between application of the pressure and inspection at the first joint. A hydrostatic test is required whenever the strength of the systems or component is affected or when brazing or welding has taken place on the pressure-containing boundary, when new pressure-containing parts have been installed (excluding valve stems, fasteners, or software), or when new mechanically attached fittings have been installed. Precautions shall be taken to avoid possible excessive pressures due to thermal expansion of the test liquid, and to avoid brittle fractures when tests are conducted at low metal temperatures of ferritic materials. However, the hydrostatic pressure test shall not be applied until system materials and the test liquid are approximately at the same temperature. New and repaired sea chests and overboard discharge connections shall be tested with a water nozzle directed at all valves, flanges and seams or with one of the alternate test methods provided in section 192. If the water nozzle test is used, care shall be taken to direct water to and inspect all mechanical joints from the sea valve to the shell. No leakage is allowed. When the ship is waterborne, all sea chests and overboard discharge connections below the waterline shall be examined with no leakage allowed. The hydrostatic test of shop restored components may be conducted at system hydrostatic test pressure provided specific system end use application of the component is known, controlled and does not change. Should it become necessary to replace flange joint fasteners after completion of testing, replacement may be done one fastener at a time without retesting. With the exception of mechanical joints in the steam, compressed air, and compressed gas systems, mechanical joints which do not leak at hydrostatic pressure do not require tightness testing at operational pressure. Mechanical joints which leak at hydrostatic pressure shall be corrected and proven tight at operational test pressure. Mechanical joints which were not inspected for leakage during the hydrostatic strength test or which are opened following the test shall be inspected for tightness at system operating pressure. Tightness test - A tightness test is a test where a portion of a system or entire system is brought up to nominal operating pressure and temperature and all new or disturbed mechanical joints checked for leakage. Mechanical joints are considered to be valve bonnet joints, flanges, unions, threaded connections and valve packing. Acceptable leakage criteria for valve packing shall be in accordance with NSTM Chapter 505 Instrument isolation valve stem cap connections which are reinstalled for test, calibration, vent or drain application point are to be visually inspected to ensure seating surfaces are undamaged, then made up tight. No further testing is required. New instrument test cap connections are required to be tested in accordance with NSTM chapter 505, paragraph 505-1.4.3 except subparagraph 505-1.4.3.2(f), leak test is not required on final joint reassembly. Operational test - An operational test is a test wherein components and systems are verified to function as designed for normal, emergency, and manual modes of operation and performance characteristics are verified to be in accordance with manufacturers information, technical manuals, system drawings, Ship's Information Books, Steam Plant Manuals, etc. This includes, but is not limited to:

Verification of instrument calibration. 6. Verification of capacities, purity requirements and chemical requirements. 505k2. Components New design - The following requirements apply to components which are not covered by government specifications, standard drawings, or approved industry standards: Proof pressure test - The design pressure (as defined by 505b1) of piping of components whose strength cannot be computed with satisfactory assurance of accuracy shall be determined by conducting a proof pressure test on the first unit (every size) of a new design. This test shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures specified in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII and the design pressure (the section VIII maximum allowable operating pressure) shall be established by one of the methods listed therein, as approved by NAVSEA. Hydrostatic pressure test - A minimum of one hydrostatic pressure test of at least 1.5 times the system design pressure shall be applied to the component to check joint tightness and soundness of the pressure containing boundary. There shall be no permanent distortion, or other distortion which could adversely affect operation of the component. Length of test to be 30 minutes. Existing Design - The following requirements apply to repaired/overhauled components: Hydrostatic test - Valves shall receive a hydrostatic test per 505k1 or 505k2 as applicable. Valve seat leakage tests - All valves shall be given a three minute minimum seat leakage test at their nominal operating pressure. Leakage rates shall be as specified below. For valves overhauled in place and where it is impractical to measure seat leakage or determine the source of apparent leakage, a satisfactory Prussian blue check of seat and disc contact areas may be substituted for the three minute leakage tests. For testing globe valves, the pressure shall be applied in the direction tending to open the valve. For testing gate, ball, and butterfly valves, tightness shall be alternately checked with pressure applied in each direction. Globe, globe stop check, globe angle, plug, gate, globe pressure seal bonnet, bolted bonnet, steam, butterfly, and ball valves - Metal to metal seated (except butterfly valves) - 10 cc/hr/in of nominal pipe size. For valves less than one-inch nps in size, maximum leakage of 10 cc/hr is permissible. Globe stop check and bolted bonnet globe stop check valves shall also have a back pressure test performed with the stem in the open position. Leakage rates shall be 25 cc/hr/in. diameter for valves up to 2 inches inclusive, 50 cc/hr/in. diameter for valves 2-1/2 inches to 10 inches inclusive, and 100 cc/hr/in diameter for valve over 10 inches. Back pressure shall be applied at 50 psig for valves rated at 150 psig and below and at 100 psig for valves over 150 psig. Soft seated valves shall have no visible signs of leakage. Metal-to-metal seated butterfly valves - Seat leakage shall not exceed that specified in MIL-V-22133 for Type II valves. The hand wheel force for seating manually-operated valves shall not exceed the hand wheel seating forces listed in Table 4. Where a valve is power-actuated, the seating force generated by the actuator may be used to seat the valve. Relief valves - Seat tightness tests on relief valves shall be conducted at the required reseat pressure as determined by MS18282 or MS18283. Allowable leakage shall be per the applicable MIL-SPEC or manufacturer's drawing, whichever is greater. Check valves - Seat tightness tests conducted on check valves shall be performed at a back pressure of 50 PSI and below and at 100 PSI for valves with primary pressure ratings over 150 PSI. For metal-to-metal seated valves, the leakage rate shall not exceed 25cc/hr/in of nominal pipe size NPS for valves 2 inch and smaller. The leakage rate for valves 2-1/2 inches to 10 inches inclusive shall be 50cc/hr/in of nominal pipe size nps and 100 cc/hr/in of nominal pipe size nps for valves over 10 inches nominal pipe size nps. No leakage will be permitted for valves incorporating a soft seating feature. Control valves - Control valves shall be tested per the above criteria for globe valves except allowable seat leakage shall be as specified in the applicable MIL-SPEC or manufacturer's drawing, whichever is greater. Boiler safety valves - Boiler safety valves shall be overhauled and tested in accordance with Section 221. Other valves - acceptable leakage rates for strainer plug or ball valves shall be in accordance with the applicable MIL-SPEC or manufacturer's drawing, whichever is greater.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 506 OVERFLOWS, AIR ESCAPES AND SOUNDING ARRANGEMENT 506a. Scope This section contains requirements for overflows, air escapes and sounding arrangements not contained in other sections of these specifications. 506b. Overflows (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) General - Overflows shall be installed for all compartments or tanks into which liquid is delivered under pressure, except that overflow pipes shall not be installed for: Reserve feed tanks or other tanks where relief valves are incorporated in the filling system, or on the tank itself, to protect against pump pressures. Compartments with AFFF or seawater sprinkler systems, in which ventilation piping is used as the sprinkling overflow. Tanks filled through a funnel only. Overflow piping and components shall be designed so that the combined static and dynamic head in the overflow line during the most critical overflow condition will not exceed the design head of the tank or compartment multiplied by the ratio of the yield stress to the allowable stress of the stiffener material. The maximum overflow rate for each tank shall be design filling rate, ballasting rate or the internal transfer rate whichever is greater. For overflow tanks which are filled from more than one tank, the combined design filling rate of each connected tank shall be used. Maximum pump operating characteristics shall also be considered when establishing overflow rates. The following fluid characteristics shall be used for determining the respective tank heads: Fuel - Specific gravity 0.845, viscosity 45 SSU. JP-5 - Specific gravity 0.810, viscosity 2.6 centistokes. Sea water - Specific gravity 1.03, viscosity 31 SSU. Waste oil - Specific gravity 1.025, viscosity 113 SSU. Overboard discharges shall terminate at least one deck height above the limiting draft waterline except for CHT tanks. A swing check valve shall be installed in the overflow line from each tank except for CHT tanks. Each check valve shall be installed in a fore and aft horizontal section of piping. Check valves for tanks shall be located at the high point in the overflow piping, unless the overflow discharges overboard, in which case the check valve shall be installed at the shell penetration. For overflows from single tanks only the check valve at the shell penetration is required. Where fuel overflows penetrate ballistic shell plating see Section 164e for check valve requirements. A reverse bend shall be installed just upstream of the check valve adjacent to the shell. The size of the overflow from any tank shall not be less than the size of the fill piping to the tank. Where port and starboard tanks are interconnected via a cross-flooding trunk at the tank tops, the trunk may be utilized as a part of the overflow system. A separate overflow shall be installed for each sewage CHT tank. Each CHT tank overflow shall terminate above the full load waterline and whenever possible below the lowest plumbing fixture or deck drain served. Where plumbing fixtures are installed on or below the waterline, the CHT tank overflow shall terminate above the full load waterline and shall be installed at the lowest possible height. Where practical, the CHT tank overflow shall be combined with the sewage gravity overboard discharge line outboard of the gag scupper valve; where this configuration is impractical, a separate hull penetration with a gag scupper valve shall be provided. The CHT tank overflows shall incorporate gag scupper valves in

accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385707. CHT tank overflow cross sectional area shall not be less than the combined cross sectional area of all soil and waste lines which enter the tank. Overflows from magazines and similar spaces which require sprinkling shall have a check valve at the compartment boundary. Where ventilation is installed to serve these spaces, the ducts shall serve as a combined overflow and air escape and shall be sized to meet the greater requirements, except for magazines with liquid fuel capabilities. The requirements for overflow/air escapes from magazines with liquid fuel capabilities shall be in accordance with NAVSEA S9000-AB-GTP-010. Where a positive closure is installed in the ventilation duct, a bypass containing a check valve shall be installed to meet overflow requirements. Where an overflow terminal is located at a height in which the design head of the magazine would be exceeded during an overflow condition, the overflow may be lowered to discharge on the damage control deck via a check valve. Vent terminals from magazines shall not terminate within air tight boundaries where the design head would be exceeded by compressing the displaced air during sprinkling. Overflows shall be installed to ensure gravity drainage of the piping back to the tank or compartment, except where ventilation ducts are used as overflows. The location and arrangement of overflows shall: Prevent spilling overboard or internally when rolling up to 30 degrees to either side of the vertical. Prevent or minimize effects of intertank or tank-to-compartment flooding by any combination of damage to piping and tank boundaries. Provide runs in protected locations, preferably within tanks and out of machinery, cargo, and similar spaces. Result in the minimum number of penetrations of watertight or oil tight structure. Fuel, JP-5, and oily waste overflow systems - Overflows from tanks for JP-5 and fuel shall be separate from each other and from all other overflow systems. Overflows from fuel and JP-5 storage tanks shall be led to overflow tanks. Where this would result in excessively long runs of piping such as from an isolated storage tank, the overflow may be led overboard. Tanks served by the same fill and transfer manifold or valve group shall overflow to an overflow tank within the group. Overflow tanks shall have independent overboard overflows. In general, service tank overflows shall connect to overflow tanks or storage tank overflow mains provided the service tank overflow high points are sufficiently above the overflow high point of any other tank in the group to prevent backflow to the service tank under any condition. Where this condition cannot be met, the service tanks shall overflow overboard. Service tank overboard overflows may be either individual or combined. For small service tanks located within a space or compartment not in the vicinity of an overflow tank or main, consideration shall be given to leading the overflow to the oily water drainage system or contaminated fuel settling tank. Overflows from drain tanks shall discharge to the bilge. Overflows from contaminated fuel settling tanks and oily waste holding tanks shall be separate from all other overflows, and shall have independent overboard discharges. Overflows from waste oil and oily waste holding tanks shall initiate from a low point in the tank. Waste oil tanks shall overflow to the oily waste holding tank. For ships without oily waste holding tanks the waste oil tank shall overflow to the bilge. Overflows within a main subdivision shall be combined, where practicable. Combined overflows from inner bottom tanks shall discharge, via common risers, to wing overflow tanks. For this arrangement, the inner bottom tank check valve shall be installed high in the tank near the tank access manhole. Risers shall be located within the wing overflow tanks. Combined overflow systems shall contain means (excluding valves) for pressure-testing individual tanks. 506c. Air Escapes and Vents (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) General. - The terms air escape and vent shall be synonymous when applied to tanks or other compartments. For plumbing vents, see Section 528. For air-deballasted tanks, see Section 551. Air escapes shall be installed for all compartments having filling, suction, flooding, AFFF sprinkling, seawater sprinkling, or sluicing arrangements terminating within the space, unless the compartment is always open to atmospheric pressure. Air escapes shall be installed for all bottled gas stowage compartments.

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

For magazines fitted with portable pump drainage connections, a valved air escape high on the compartment bulkhead shall be installed. The valve shall be located in the vicinity of the drainage connection, outside the magazine (see Section 528). Compartments having carbon dioxide or HALON flooding systems or in which high pressure air piping is located, and which may be closed tightly under any material condition, shall have a vent independent of ventilation ducts unless the design head of the space is in excess of the pressure which can be built up by a leak in the carbon dioxide, HALON, or air piping when the compartment is secured. Venting arrangements for compartments having inert gas systems are covered in Section 552. Vent lines shall be provided for the sewage CHT tanks and shall terminate in the weather. CHT tank air escapes shall terminate in return bends, the open ends of which shall be enlarged to 1-1/2 times the diameter of the air escape pipes and fitted with double screens which shall be removable for cleaning. The inner screen shall be cone-shaped and of 40 mesh material with the clear area through the screen equal to that of the escape pipe. The outer screen shall be fitted 1/2-inch from the inner screen and shall have 1/2-inch square openings. Screens shall be bronze, brass, or nickel-copper alloy and shall be installed so that they cannot be easily painted over or damaged. CHT tank air escapes shall be sized such that the seal of any plumbing trap will not be subjected to a pressure differential of more than 1-inch of water when both sewage pumps are discharging at their maximum anticipated flow rates, but in no case shall be less than 1-1/2 inches nominal pipe size. These air escapes shall not terminate in the vicinity of doors, hatches, air ports, or ventilation intake openings to prevent vented air from being drawn into ship interior spaces. Air escapes from CHT tanks shall be independent of all other air escapes. Nonfloodable voids, whether or not they form a part of the underwater side protective system, shall not have air escapes unless the void contains pressure piping or has a suction connection from the drainage system. If venting is required, 2-inch nominal pipe size will generally be considered adequate based on slow leakage and not on complete failure of the pressure piping. Nonfloodable voids which are adjacent to manned spaces, and which require venting, may have a 1-1/2-inch nominal pipe size pressure relief valve in lieu of an air escape. The relief valve shall be installed on the sounding tube and shall discharge into the manned space. It shall be set to be fully relieved at the design head of the void. Air escapes shall be run with the maximum attainable rising pitch from the tank to the terminal end, with no pockets, to facilitate drain-back to the tanks served. Additional air escapes shall be installed for tanks or compartments wherever the shape of the tank prevents complete venting by one air escape. If more than one air escape is required, they may be combined and led to an air escape main or to the weather deck. Each branch shall be sized for its proportionate share of the full tank or compartment venting rate. Air escapes shall be combined with overflow pipes, where practicable. Air escapes shall terminate in the weather, except those from water tanks, voids, and magazines, which may terminate in ventilated spaces. Lubricating oil tank vents may terminate in the same space in which the tank is located. Air escapes from tanks or compartments carrying flammable or toxic volatiles shall terminate clear of air ports, ventilation intakes, other openings into the ship, and sources of ignition such as missile blast and combustion exhaust gas outlets. Air escapes from reserve feed or potable water tanks shall not terminate in spaces assigned primarily for electrical or electronic equipment. Those from potable water tanks shall have insect screens of 18 mesh and shall not terminate in toilet or hospital spaces. Screens shall be bronze, brass, copper-nickel or nickel-copper alloy, and shall be installed so that they cannot be easily painted over or damaged. To prevent intercompartment flooding, air escapes shall terminate at a height above FWL II. Combined air escapes which serve compartments in different main subdivisions shall be combined above FWL II. Air escapes shall be sized in relation to the maximum filling or flooding rate to which the compartment or tank may be subjected. In general, they shall be sized to limit the air velocity to 25 ft/sec when the tank is being filled at its maximum design rate, but in no case shall the size be less than 1-1/2-inches nominal pipe size. Air velocity greater than 25 ft/sec is permitted if it can be shown that the actual air flow rate will not cause excessive back pressure or undesirable fluid spray carry-over. Air escapes may be combined, providing requirements herein are met, except that air escapes from tanks carrying different liquids shall not be combined. If air escapes are combined, a drop-out section shall be installed in each air escape to

permit testing the tanks individually. If air escapes are joined together, or to a header, the area of common air escape or header shall be not less than that required to limit the air velocity to 25 ft/sec under the most critical conditions when all the tanks are filled or drained simultaneously. (See air velocity allowance in preceding paragraph). Terminals of air escapes located in compartments subject to periodic air tests shall be threaded to suit the fittings supplied with the air testing set. All air escapes, except those from voids of the underwater side protective system, shall terminate in return bends. Air escapes from voids of the underwater side protective system shall terminate in valves in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385730. These valves shall be secured in the open position if the void contains pressure piping. Otherwise, the valves shall be secured in the closed position. Valves shall be installed on the same deck as that of the flood valve control station, and approximately 5 feet above the deck, in a location readily accessible to damage control personnel. Where an air displacement deballast system is installed see Section 551 herein. Sonar dome air escape vent - Vents shall be installed from all high points within the dome, dome skirt, and sonar sea chest. This self-drainage vent line shall terminate at the top of the sonar dome fill tank. Fuel and oily waste tank air escapes - Except for cargo tanks of fleet oilers, air escapes shall be installed in tanks for fuel, JP-5 and oily waste. The air escapes shall terminate above the weather deck and the lower end may be connected to overflow piping on the tank side of the check valves, provided the overflow is connected to the highest point on the tank top. They shall not be combined with sounding tubes. The air escapes shall terminate in return bends, the open ends of which shall be enlarged to 1-1/2 times the diameter of the air escape pipes and fitted with double screens which shall be removable for cleaning. The inner screen shall be cone shaped and of 40-mesh with the clear area through the screen at least equal to that of the escape pipe. The outer screen shall be fitted 1/2 inch from the inner screen and shall be fitted with 1/2 inch square openings. Screens shall be bronze, brass, copper-nickel or nickel-copper alloy and shall be installed so that they cannot be easily painted over or damaged. If air escapes from a number of tanks are grouped, the common main shall be located close under the weather deck. Air escapes from service tanks and tanks containing oily waste (including contaminated tanks) shall be independent of all other air escapes. Vents shall be installed for cargo tanks in accordance with the following: Cargo oil tanks such as JP-5 and DFM - An independent vent line shall be connected to each expansion trunk on the weather deck and terminate below the next level in a pressure-vacuum relief valve having a flame screen and weather hood. The relief valve shall be set at 2 lb/in2 pressure and 1 lb/in2 vacuum. Contaminated mogas/waste water collecting tanks - The venting system shall consist of a vent line from the expansion trunk of each tank. Vents shall extend to a height above the weather deck equal to at least 1/3-the beam of the ship and terminate in a flame arrester with weather hood. The weather hood shall also be a comparable distance (1/3-the ship beam) from any living or working space, ventilator inlet, or source of ignition such as diesel engine exhaust terminals and radiating antennae. A pressure relief (spill) valve set at 1 lb/in2 and having a flame screen and weather hood shall be installed in the vent. The vent system shall have connections for flushing and cleaning. Each vent shall be self-draining to the expansion trunk. The vent system shall be of sufficient capacity to be able to carry off all displaced air and vapors during loading of the cargo tanks without opening of ullage plugs or cargo hatches. Special tanks - In addition to the foregoing requirements, all tanks containing flammable fluids, except highly volatile fluids such as mogas, which do not form part of the hull, shall have a total venting area (vent plus overflow) not less than that specified in Table 1, unless equivalent venting is otherwise provided to prevent excessive pressure when the tank is exposed to an external fire. 506d. Sounding (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) Sounding provisions shall be installed for all inner bottom compartments, voids, cofferdams (except mogas cofferdams), peak tanks, drainage tanks, reserve feed tanks, potable water tanks not having pet cocks, for fuel, JP-5, contaminated fuel settling, waste oil and oily waste holding tanks (including cargo tanks), compartments of underwater protective systems, clean ballast tanks, and hold compartments adjacent to the shell plating, except those which are manned under all material conditions. Sounding provisions shall not be installed in magazines, in handling rooms in which ammunition is stored or in sewage CHT tanks.

Sounding fittings shall comply with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385791, except where they unavoidably form an obstruction in the compartment in which they are installed, in which case fittings in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385848 shall be installed. Sounding fittings shall be located on open decks or in passageways. Where this is not practicable and fittings must be located in a compartment, its location shall be readily accessible and shall not interfere with the function of the compartment. Sounding fittings shall not be located in locked or carpeted compartments, nor where a flammable fluid or oily waste from a tank being filled could accidently be discharged from an open fitting on a hot surface, on electrical or electronic equipment. Sounding tube fittings serving tanks containing fuel, JP-5 or oily waste shall not be located in main or auxiliary machinery spaces, spaces containing oil-fired boilers, incinerators, emergency diesel or turbine-driven generators or fire pumps. For existing installations including those terminating on carpeted decks, spaces containing electrical or electronic equipment, or where this would require tank or machinery relocations or a sounding tube radius of less than 10 feet, a floating ball check valve, NAVSEA drawing 803-5959276, shall be installed at the sounding tube terminus in the space. Sounding tubes from tanks that are only funnel drain filled are permitted to terminate in the above mentioned spaces with a floating ball check valve installed at the sounding tube terminus, except that the valve is not required if the tank overflow high point is below the sounding tube terminus. Sounding provisions shall be such as to measure fluid in a tank or compartment at its lowest level. A sounding tube of not less than 1-1/2-inches nominal pipe size shall be installed wherever sounding is required. Such tubes may be run on an angle or they may be bent to a radius of not less than 10 feet. In cofferdams and voids and other spaces where calibration of fluid level is not required, reverse bends are permitted to accommodate any necessary offset. Sounding tubes shall terminate close enough to tank bottoms to prevent hanging up of a sounding device or thief sampler when they are being withdrawn from a tank. A flanged take-down joint shall be installed in each sounding tube approximately 18 inches above terminus in the tank. Wherever a sounding tube cannot enter the tank being served, it may be run close by and connected to the tank by a horizontal tube or pipe of the same size as the sounding tube. The connecting tube or pipe shall be located approximately 1 inch above the stripping tail pipe or about 3 inches above the lowest point in the tank. For this type of installation, an 18-inch flanged spool piece shall be installed approximately 6 inches above the bottom vertical terminus of the sounding tube. A flanged tee at the bottom vertical terminus of the sounding tube is an acceptable alternative. The inside edges of sounding tube flanges shall be smoothed to prevent hanging up of a sounding device or thief sampler when they are being withdrawn from the tank. At the bottom of sounding tubes, a device such as a striking plate welded to the tank bottom or an extra-heavy tee on the sounding tube, shall be provided to protect the tank plating from damage by the sounding device. All sounding tubes shall terminate higher than the highest level of the tank or compartment to which they are fitted. For innerbottom tanks for fuel, JP-5, oily waste, and water, the sounding tubes shall extend to a convenient height above the adjacent floor plates; for other oil tanks they shall terminate at least one deck height above the top of the tank. Sounding tubes for potable water tanks shall extend at least 18 inches above the tank top, shall be provided with caps which can be padlocked closed, and shall have individual sounding rods which can be permanently stowed in its tube. Gate valves shall be installed at the upper ends of sounding tubes which terminate below the full load waterline for all tanks having one or more sides formed by the ship shell plating. If a gate valve is required for potable water tanks, the sounding rod shall be stowed in a stowage tube adjacent to the sounding tube. Combining sounding tubes and air escapes from compartments subjected to high filling rates such as tanks for fuel and JP-5 is not permitted. Sounding tubes for these tanks shall be perforated at intervals of about 6 inches and have a cap designed so that the accumulated air pressure in the tube will be slowly released and pressure in the tank equalized with the atmosphere before the cap is completely unscrewed. Sounding tubes and air escapes from compartments subjected to low filling rates such as potable water tanks may be combined. Where combined with air escapes, the sounding tube shall be perforated under the top of the tank. For a sounding tube which does not enter at the top of its tank, provision shall be made for venting the sounding tube to the top of the tank via a connecting tube or pipe of the same size as the sounding tube.

New identification plates, information plates, and label plates shall comply with Mil. Spec. MIL-DTL-15024. Those in machinery spaces shall be type H photosensitive aluminum as specified in Mil. Spec. MIL-DTL-15024, except use type C engraved stainless steel where subject to a severe environment such as foot traffic. Photosensitive etched aluminum plates shall not be used in machinery spaces. Both the material and method of marking shall be suitable for their environment. To a practical degree, uniformity in material and method of marking are required in any one application and for similar applications. In spaces where low-level red or broad band blue illumination is provided, black plates with white inscriptions shall be used. Cut inscriptions on plastic plates shall not be painted, but shall penetrate the surface lamination to a contrasting-color lamination beneath. Inscriptions on photographic-process plates shall be black, except as otherwise specified. Names, services, and functions inscribed on plates, painted on pipes, or used in marking may be abbreviated in accordance with Mil. Std. MIL-STD-12, or other easily understood abbreviations. 507d. Machinery and Equipment General - All machinery and associated equipment installed, repaired or modified during overhaul such as pumps, heat exchangers, and nonstructural tanks (but not furniture type items such as work benches and log desks), shall have a label plate to identify it by functional name and assigned number. One label plate insufficient for a coupled unit, such as a pump and its driver; but each propulsion machinery component, even if coupled to another, shall be separately labeled. An auxiliary machinery plant, such as a ship service generator plant, shall have one label plate at each auxiliary detached component, such as at each pump. Where an attached part of a component needs further identification for proper operation of the component, and the manufacturer has not provided an identification plate, the Contractor shall install such identification plate. Such attached components need only be identified by name where the identity of the component it serves is obvious. New identification and information plates for propulsion plant equipment for which technical manuals are provided shall not contain hydrostatic test pressures. 507e. Component Designating General - Designating of machinery and equipment not explicitly provided for elsewhere herein shall be as follows: Propulsion plant machinery and equipment - Components of a propulsion plant shall have the same identifying number as their propulsion shaft. Where there is more than one similar service component for a plant, an identifying letter shall follow the identifying number. Letters shall start with "A" and shall be in alphabetical sequence. Letter assignment shall be from starboard to port, then from forward to aft and from a lower to a higher level and shall be identical to the letter used to identify other components in the branch of the piping system, where applicable. Further identification is required where duplicate propulsion machinery components are served by similar service auxiliary machinery components, and shall consist of a digit following the previously specified number and letter designation. Sequential assignment of digits shall be for components located starboard to port, forward to aft and from a lower to a higher level in that order, and starting with number "1". Independent auxiliary plants (such as diesel-generator or refrigeration plant) - Each similar type of plant shall have label plates with a separate series of assigned numbers. Each series shall begin with the number "1" and shall continue in numerical sequence until all are numbered. Assignment of numbers shall be based on plant location when progressing space by space and similarly within each space, in sequence from starboard to port, forward to aft, and from a lower to a higher level except for air conditioning plants which shall be numbered in sequence from starboard to port, forward to aft without regard to level. Installation of new plants shall not be cause for renumbering of existing plants. Where further identification for similar service auxiliaries serving a plant is required, suffixes, starting with letter "A" and continuing alphabetically, shall be assigned in sequence from starboard to port, forward to aft, and from a lower to a higher level. Independent auxiliaries - The numbering sequence used with independent auxiliary plants for similar services shall also be followed for numbering the components of these plants. 507f. Piping Systems Designation and Marking Pipe painting - Piping in tanks, voids, cofferdams, and bilges shall not be painted unless required by Section 631 for preservation of the piping material. Piping on weather decks shall be painted the same color as the surrounding structure. New valve handwheels for shipboard shore connections shall not be color coded, but label plates or plain language markings on the handwheel shall clearly delineate the shore service for each connection. Handwheels of gage valves located on gage boards do not require color coding, while gage root valves away from gage boards do. If the existing valve handwheel or piping color scheme differs from the following, notify the Supervisor, prior to painting, for guidance as to which colors to use. All paint color numbers shall be in accordance with Fed. Spec. TT-E-489 and FED. STD-595. New valve and operating levers may be covered with plastic plastisol, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-20689, type 1, class 1, instead of being painted. Other piping installed or modified during overhaul periods shall be painted as specified in Section 631. Compressed gas cylinders - Color coding of gas cylinders, shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-101.

NOTE E: See NAVSEA 0994-LP-001-9010, Vol. 1 and 2. Pipe marking - In addition to special colors required for particular systems, all systems shall be marked for identification. This marking shall be the functional name of the system. Where necessary for differentiation between two pipes of the same system, the specific service shall be included. As an example, plumbing drains shall be marked "soil drain" or "waste drain" to suit the type of drainage carried in the pipe. In addition to the specific service, the system pressure shall be indicated; for example "600 psig steam to forced draft blowers". For a piping system which has an outside diameter of 2 inches and larger (bare or lagged), markings shall be painted on pipes or lagging using stenciled letters 1 inch high. For smaller pipes, the lettering size shall be reduced, as necessary, but shall not be less than 3/8 inch high. Direction-of-flow arrows shall also be painted on. Stencil paint shall be in accordance with Fed. Spec. TT-P-98. Where pipe sizes are too small for 3/8 inch lettering or flow arrows, label plates inscribed with system name and, where necessary, the service and flow arrow shall be wired to the pipe or banded with material in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-23190 and Military Standard MS-3367 and installed with hand tool, Mil. Spec. MIL-T-81306. In those isolated instances where the surface temperature exceeds 185°F, metal bands (similar to hose clamps) may be utilized for attachment to piping. The markings shall be applied with paint and use of stencils. Marking shall be white on black background for oxygen piping and black for other systems, unless the painted color of the pipe is so dark that white must be used for the marking to be legible.

Section 507

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Marking of piping located in tanks, voids, cofferdams, bilges and similar unmanned spaces shall be by label plate curved to fit the piping and attached in place by full circumferential wiring or banding as described above. Label and attachment shall be made of material which is compatible with both the pipe and the liquid contained in the space, and the attachment design shall prevent movement of the label. Markings shall be spaced not more than 15 feet apart measured along the run of the pipe and shall be applied to the piping in conspicuous locations, preferably near control valves. Where piping is concealed behind sheathing, the markings shall be spaced not more than 5 feet apart measured along the run of the pipe. Piping passing through spaces, including unmanned spaces such as tanks, voids, cofferdams and bilges, shall be marked at least once in each space; piping in machinery spaces shall be marked at least twice, once near entry and once near exit. Systems serving propulsion plants and systems conveying flammable or toxic fluids shall be marked at least twice in each space. At the interconnection of systems, each system shall be marked nearby, wherever this is practicable. Where the service of the pipe is obvious, such as a short vent or drain from a tank, or where adjacent machinery, equipment, or valves are marked, pipe marking is not required. Unless otherwise specified, or in special cases where the need is apparent, piping on weather decks does not require marking. Where marking of pipes on weather decks is required, it shall be by label plate. A label plate shall be provided listing all new pipes installed behind protective battens, in pipe tunnels, or similar spaces. In cases where hull valves are not located on or near the associated sea chest or overboard discharge connection, the attached piping shall be marked in a conspicuous location nearest the hull with the system designation and functional service. The method for marking deck plates for sounding pipes shall be as shown on drawing, NAVSEA No. 810-1385848. Component marking - All piping components labeling shall follow the existing ship method. The functional service only shall be indicated for valves of minor importance, provided adjacent components are identified so that the system or component the valve serves is apparent. The functional service and the name of the system or component, as appropriate, shall be indicated where the functional service designation alone is insufficient, yet further identification by basic location number is unnecessary. Where a valve is installed below a floor plate or grating or is similarly hidden, a marking shall be installed both on the valve and on or near the portable access plate. Individual valves in manifolds shall be separately marked; and an information plate indicating the valve combinations for specific services shall be installed wherever necessary. Marking of all new valves in systems extending outside of machinery spaces (such as firemain, main drainage, fuel transfer, and compressed air) other than those associated with the propulsion plant, shall indicate the system name, the functional service, the name and number of the tank, compartment, gun, or component served (where appropriate), and the basic location number of the valve. This includes valves associated with damage control. Damage control valves are those for which damage control diagrams are required to be updated in accordance with Section 664, and as delineated in Sections 505 and 602. See Section 602 for damage control closure classification labels. Valves in each system shall be numbered without respect to valves in other systems; that is, there may be several valves carrying the same number, but they will be differentiated by the system designation of the valve and piping. Fire plugs require no system name. However, in addition to their functional service, ("fireplug") and their basic location number, the designation (name and basic location number) of the cutout valve serving the fireplug shall be indicated. When both local and remote valve operation is installed, the basic location number at both places of operation shall be that of the controlled valve. Where valves are located in tanks, voids, or other normally unmanned spaces, the basic location number indicated shall be that of the place of remote operation. For propulsion plant valves associated with propulsion plant systems, such as main steam, auxiliary steam (including auxiliary steam valves outside the machinery space), feed and condensate, lubricating oil, ship service fuel (between service tank and ship plant), the valve designation letters and numbering shall be the same method as on the existing ship. If a valve is deleted from a system after it has been designated, the individual number that it possessed shall not be assigned to any other valve in that system. Similarly, if a valve is added to a system, it shall be assigned the number immediately following the last valve number assigned in that system. The method of marking new valves shall be by marking inscribed on rims of handwheels, by marking on a circular label plate and secured in place by the handwheel nut or by the adhesive action resulting from the heat curing of the valve handwheel using plastic plastisol, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-20689, class I, type 1. Where the handwheel size or location prevents the use of the above methods, marking on a flat rectangular label plate secured to adjacent ship structure or curved to fit the valve or piping (outside of lagging, if any) and secured in place on the valve or on the piping adjacent to the valve is permissible. Attachment shall be in such a manner as to prevent movement of the label and assure easy reading. Electrically insulating material shall be used as a backing when metal label plates are attached to bare valves or piping to prevent electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals and to prevent noise. Letters for the inscription required for the methods of marking described above shall not be less than 1/8 inch high. Straight line inscriptions are acceptable on circular plates. Where space is sufficient, new circular label plates installed on valve handwheels shall also include the word "OPEN", with an arrow indicating direction, if not already inscribed on the handwheel. The space is sufficient if the word "OPEN" and the arrow direction is the same size as the letters on the label plate, and will fit with the other required markings without exceeding the handwheel size. Where space is sufficient, new circular label plates installed on valve handwheels shall also include the word "OPEN", with an arrow indicating direction, if not already inscribed on the handwheel. The space is sufficient if the word "OPEN" and the arrow direction is the same size as the letters on the label plate, and will fit with the other required markings without exceeding the handwheel size.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 508 THERMAL INSULATION FOR MACHINERY, EQUIPMENT, AND PIPING 508a. Scope and Definitions This section contains the requirements for thermal insulation for machinery or piping for non-nuclear applications, when authorized for new installation or repair, or when existing insulation is disturbed as part of other authorized work. Replacement of existing insulation, solely to meet the requirements of this section, is not required. Definitions: Hot surface insulation - A type of thermal insulation applied on external surfaces of components which are 125 degrees F or higher to protect personnel and limit undesirable heat transfer. Anti-sweat insulation - A type of thermal insulation applied on components to either prevent formation of condensation on their external surfaces or to limit absorption of external heat which would be detrimental to the system operation. Refrigerant insulation - A type of thermal insulation applied on external surfaces of components conveying cold fluids, such as refrigerant or brine, to limit absorption of heat by the refrigerant and to prevent ice formation on the surfaces. Lagging - A protective and confining covering or jacket such as cloth, tape or sheet metal, applied over insulating materials. Fastenings - Items such as hooks, wire, and adhesive used to secure insulation materials and lagging. Machinery covering or pipe covering - A composite covering including a thermal insulation, its fastenings, its lagging and its vapor barrier (when specified). Re-usable covers - Machinery covering or pipe covering which can be removed without being damaged and easily replaced for continued use. Vapor barrier - a covering applied to the surface of insulation to prevent the penetration of water vapor. 508b. General Requirements (New, Modified and Repaired Installations) Thermal insulation, lagging, and removable covers for machinery and piping shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-769 and NSTM Chapter 635. In the event of conflict, MIL-STD-769 shall take precedence. The following requirements are in addition to the preceding documents: Except where asbestos is existing, replacement material should match existing material, subject to material availability. Replacement thicknesses should be in accordance with MIL-STD-769. However, where this is not feasible without existing piping or structural modification, existing insulation thicknesses not less than the original ship's building specifications may be allowed. This allowance is not authorized for fire rooms. However, the Supervisor can approve this allowance in fire rooms when it can be shown that the lack of equivalent insulation value does not significantly affect area heat stress. Other examples of situations where this allowance can be approved are: Warm-up drains; normally secured piping and equipment; and short sections of insulation adjacent to components which require removal for repair of the component. Surfaces which can attain a temperature of 125 degrees F or higher during any service condition shall be insulated wherever necessary to protect personnel, prevent undesirable transfer of heat to the surroundings, or prevent transfer of heat from the component wherever such transfer would be detrimental to operation of the component or system. For maximum fire prevention, exposed surfaces shall always be shielded to prevent oil impingement, where they can attain a temperature of 400 degrees F or higher, and where impingement of a flammable fluid on these surfaces is a distinct possibility. Where it can be proven that the only flammable fluid that can impinge on a hot surface is lube oil, the temperature criteria for shielding of the hot surface shall be a surface temperature of 650 degrees F or higher. See Section 505 for additional safety requirements for prevention of spray from mechanical joints in flammable liquid piping.

Glass cloth lagging shall be applied to both Mil. Spec. MIL-I24703 and Mil. Spec. DOD-I-24688, Type I to protect insulation from damage. For the following applications, strict adherence to the foregoing would not be practicable or desirable and insulation need not be installed for: Any cold surface for which freedom of insulation is essential for its proper operation. When only in an emergency condition does fluid flow in the system which could cause sweating, such as dry pipe systems. Where sweating would not be objectionable, such as in voids, shaft alleys, and bilges, and on plumbing fixtures and the supply and drain piping immediately adjacent to and serving these fixtures. Where unobstructed access is continuously required for visual inspection. Bulkhead connections and penetrations - Supplementing requirements in Section 505 pertaining to insulated bulkhead piping connections, the following applies: Where refrigerant pipes pass through a non-watertight insulated bulkhead into a refrigerated space, the insulation shall extend at least 1 inch inside the refrigerated space. External surfaces of components and piping handling a refrigerant or brine at a temperature of 40 degrees F or lower shall be insulated with DOD-I-24688, Type 1, lagged with aluminized polyester/aluminum foil reinforced with fiberglass scrim and with a primer coated surface or MIL.

A damper or closure for each fan. Precooling coil (if required), Navy Standard, located upstream or downstream of fan. Supply distribution ductwork. The quantity of TPSS air supplied to a TP zone shall be the greater of 1,200 cfm or the summation of quantities required to meet the following demands: Compartment ventilation quantities required to meet DCM rate-of-change, or temperature rise requirements. Replenishment air requirements of the air conditioning systems within the zone. Compartment exhaust air requirements in excess of the sum of the ventilation and replenishment air, required above. 420 cfm air sweep for each type I and type II Airlock and each CBR Decontamination Station (see Section 072). 50 cfm leakage rate for each door, scuttle, hatch , operable window, or combination thereof, that is an access from a TP zone to an unpressurized area. The leakage rate shall not include accesses for type I and type II Airlocks and CBR Decontamination Stations. In the event that leakage air requirements become excessive (greater than 20 percent of the total TPSS air requirement) because of the number of accesses contained within a zone the factor for access leakage may be reduced from 509 cfm per access to an appropriate leakage factor, but not less than 25 cfm per access. The analysis shall be submitted to NAVSEA for review ad approval when the reduced access allowance is used. Excess supply air quantities may be proportioned between replenishment and ventilation air quantities (except for compartments requiring a negative pressure with respect to surrounding areas) in a manner that best enhances the design of all systems in the TP zone. In either case, excess air (sweep and leakage air) shall be distributed to permit air flow to sweeps and leakage points under all conditions of ship’s operations. Each TPSS shall have companion exhaust systems of equal capacity, minus the air required for air sweeps for each type I and type II Airlock, each CBR Decontamination Station, spaces with natural exhaust and the leakage rate described above. Pressurization within each TP zone shall be regulated by pressure control valves (PCV).

Resistance to entrance of water may be either inherent by reason of location or design, or obtained by use of water-excluding ventilators. Class W and Circle W ventilation systems shall have weather openings located above FWL II. Where two supply systems serve a single compartment or a TP zone/fire zone, intakes shall be located on opposite sides of the ship. If more than two supply systems are required, weather intakes on the same side of the ship shall be separated as far as practicable. Discharge outlets of exhaust systems which carry explosive, noxious, or toxic air or fumes shall not discharge across walking areas. Supply systems intakes shall be located to prevent recirculation of heated air from combustion air intake openings, exhaust air, and noxious or toxic fumes and smoke.

Heat interchangers - Wherever it is necessary to superheat the suction gas to prevent saturated liquid from returning to the compressor, or where it is necessary to subcool the liquid refrigerant to compensate for static head or excessive pipe losses, a heat interchanger shall be installed common to the suction lines and the liquid refrigerant line. The interchanger shall be arranged so that oil will not be trapped in the assembly. A refrigerant liquid line bypass, with a single shutoff valve, shall be installed around the interchanger in refrigerated storage applications to permit bypassing the interchanger in the event of high discharge temperature. The shutoff valve shall be installed at the liquid line inlet to the interchanger.

An inverted loop seal shall be installed in each cooling coil outlet to prevent drainage of liquid refrigerant from the coil into the suction main or header. If the arrangement of the suction main or header would permit drainage of liquid back into the coil, or compressor when idle, the suction piping connection from the coil or compressor shall loop into the top of the suction main or header. A suction line cutout valve shall be installed at each circuit or coil outlet, where multiple circuits or coils are provided. Suction pressure regulating valves shall be installed in each suction branch line, where necessary. See Table I for suction line sizing.

Where sea water circulating pumps are installed to provide condenser cooling water, each pump shall be provided with by-pass piping from the pump discharge to overboard to prevent pump overheating when the refrigerating unit is in an off cycle. The by-pass piping shall be sized or provided with an orifice to pass 1-percent of the pump capacity. The control operation of the refrigeration unit shall be such that the opening of the compressor high pressure switch, sea water failure switch, oil failure switch or low water temperature switch (water chilling applications) will require manual restarting of the compressor. For reciprocating plants, a main liquid line solenoid valve shall be installed to shut off refrigerant flow when the compressor motor shuts down due to any cause except operation of the low pressure switch. If all temperature controlled solenoid valves in the circuit can be energized from the related compressor motor controller circuit to perform the function of a main liquid line solenoid valve, then it shall not be necessary to also add a main liquid line solenoid valve. However, all temperature controlled solenoid valves which operate in conjunction with a forced-air cooling coil shall be energized from its related fan motor controller and arranged to shut off refrigerant flow when the fan motor is de-energized for any cause. Centrifugal air conditioning plant control air piping - A dehydrator with upstream and downstream filters shall be installed in the control air piping. An audible and visual alarm shall be installed to warn of loss of control air pressure. Refrigerant detection system - Halocarbon monitors with audible and visual alarms shall be installed to eliminate risk to personnel should a major refrigerant leak occur.

The Supervisors Work Specification shall identify the class of overhaul (i.e., Class B) authorized for the item. Definition of overhaul class is provided in Section 042 herein. Where applicable, the Supervisors Work Specification shall invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved Technical Repair Standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the item or system shall be in accordance with applicable drawings, or technical manuals as modified by the overhaul criteria paragraphs herein. 516l. Testing Requirements Complete refrigerating plants - The following tests shall be performed on R-12 plants (ships stores and air conditioning) after overhaul: System integrity test - Sufficient dry nitrogen is to be introduced to create a pressure of 15 psig. All joints in the system shall be tested for leaks using a soap bubble solution. Once all leaks are repaired, remove the nitrogen. Leakage test - Sufficient R-12 is to be introduced to create a pressure of approximately 10 psig or 10 pounds by weight, whichever comes first. The system is then tested for leaks with a halide leak detector. After this test, a sufficient amount of dry nitrogen is introduced to raise the pressure to 225 psig, and again the system is tested with a halide leak detector. All leaks shall be repaired and system retested. After testing, system is to be evacuated by means of a vacuum pump. Evacuation and testing are to be from compressor discharge through condenser and from evaporator to compressor suction. The compressor is to be isolated during pressure and evacuation tests. Evacuate the system to 200 mm Hg and hold for approximately one hour. Any increase in pressure is an indication that an air leak is present. Leak test the system and repair all leaks until no change in vacuum occurs at 200 mm Hg. Break vacuum and charge system with R-12 after evacuation. The condensing units shall then be operated with a hard wool-felt filter (material similar to SAE F-1) in the compressor suction strainer assembly or a Navy type system cleaner in the compressor suction line. The plant shall be operated for at least 36 hours or until periodic inspection of the filter indicates contaminants are removed from the system. Upon completion of this operation, remove the system cleaner, filter, refrigerant, and oil charges. Evacuate the system. The system shall be retested to determine tightness across seats and mechanical joints as follows: Pressurize the entire system with 10 psig or 10 pounds by weight of R-12, whichever comes first. All system valves shall be closed and the system to the first valves, shall be pressurized at the charging connection, with dry nitrogen to raise the pressure to 225 psig. Hold pressure not less than 10 minutes to determine tightness of valves and joints against leakage, then proceed to next set of valves. When all valves have been satisfactorily tested, raise the entire system pressure to 250 psig. Hold pressure for six hours. No loss in pressure is permitted except as corrected for temperature. When the pressure test is completed, remove the system charge and, by means

of a vacuum pump evacuate the system to 5 mm inch of mercury absolute with the compressor suction and discharge shut-off valve closed. Pull a vacuum of 5 mm Hg and hold for approximately one hour. After this period, charge the system with dry nitrogen to a pressure of approximately 2 psig. Wait approximately 1/2 hour. Pull a vacuum of 5 mm Hg and hold for approximately one hour and again pressurize the system with dry nitrogen. Repeat this process a third time, evacuate the system to 5 mm Hg and hold the vacuum for six hours. Any increase in pressure, corrected for ambient temperature changes, greater than 3 mm Hg shall be cause for rejection as there probably is moisture in the system. After a satisfactory vacuum hold test has been accomplished, recharge the plant with R-12 and oil, and restore the system to normal. All instruments and gages shall undergo evacuation tests; the high-pressure gage and cutout switch shall undergo pressure tests. The low-pressure and oil-failure switches and gages shall not undergo pressure tests because of the possibility of damaging the instruments. Operating tests for R-12 plants - After leakage tests, vacuum tests, and installation (including adjustment of controls and installation of insulation) have been completed, each plant shall be given an operating test for a continuous period of at least 24 hours. Rotate compressor and pumps by hand (power disconnected) to assure that there is no hydraulic lock and that rotational freedom exists. Standby condensing units shall be operated for proportionate periods of the test time except that no unit shall be operated for less than 4 hours. Supplementary heat loads shall be introduced where necessary to maintain continuous operation of the condensing units. The tests shall demonstrate proper functioning of all equipment, systems, and controls. Performance tests - Together with or supplementing the operating test, performance tests, shall be given as follows: The ship's stores refrigerating plant shall be operating with all spaces and unitary equipment being refrigerated until such time as the temperatures are reduced to the design temperatures. The design temperatures shall then be maintained with automatic operation for a period of at least 4 hours. For air conditioning applications the refrigeration system shall be operated under simulated peak load condition by the addition of a heat load where necessary. The heat may be applied to the chiller or supplementary heat may be applied to the spaces served by the chilled water system so that entering water temperature and the water flow rate are maintained to meet specified conditions; after steady conditions are established, at least eight test readings shall be taken at intervals of not less than ten minutes. Supplementary heat shall be maintained so that compressors operate at full load. Centrifugal plant shipboard tests - The R-114 and R-11 centrifugal plants shall be tested for satisfactory performance after overhaul. Each plant shall be pressure tested and evacuated in accordance with the applicable instruction book, or other approved procedure. It is essential that these plants be vacuum tight as required therein. All safety and automatic controls shall be tested for automatic operation at setpoints. An operational test shall be conducted to determine capacity by measuring flow of chilled water and the chilled water temperature rise. The test shall be continued for 4 hours with controls set at operating points to check out satisfactory automatic operation. The air conditioning plant shall be operated under simulated peak load conditions by adding a heat load where necessary. The heat load shall be applied to the chiller so that the entering water temperature and the water flow rate are maintained to meet the specified conditions. After steady conditions are established, at least eight test readings shall be taken at intervals of not less than 10 minutes. Tests shall demonstrate that the condensing units will balance off at the operating conditions, thus indicating that the installed refrigerant systems have capacities equal to the required plant capacity. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in sections 092 and 094.

528p. Testing Requirements The following tests shall be conducted to demonstrate the quality of work performed. Hydrostatic tests gravity systems - Deck drains, deck drain pipes, plumbing drains, plumbing vents, and all fixture branches in the plumbing system, shall be given a water test which may be made on the entire system at once or the system may be tested in sections. During the test period, an inspection shall be made for leaks and weeps and corrective action taken, as necessary, to maintain a tight system. If applied to the entire system, all openings (except the highest opening) in the piping shall be tightly closed and the system filled with water to the point of overflow. If the system is tested in sections, each opening shall be tightly plugged (except the highest opening of the section under test), and the section shall be filled with water. In testing successive sections, at least the upper 10 feet of the next lower section shall be retested (except the uppermost 10 feet, or less, of the system) and shall be subjected to at least a 10-foot head of water. The water level shall remain constant, without any further addition of water, for sufficient time to inspect the entire section under test, but in no case less than 15 minutes. In lieu of a water test, an air test may be used. With all openings tightly closed, air shall be forced into the system until there is a uniform pressure of 5 lb/in2 on the entire system or section under test. The air pressure shall be maintained on the system or section without any further addition of air for a sufficient time to determine tightness, but in no case less than 15 minutes. Where air tests are used, a slowly falling pressure is not necessarily an indication of a leaking system. If the air introduced is of a higher temperature than that of the piping system or that of the air already in the system, the pressure may fall slowly until temperature equilibrium is reached. In such cases, before searching for definite leaks, the pressure shall again be brought to the test value without changing the air in the system. If the rate of fall is materially lower on the second or on repeated trials, the system may be assumed tight. On the other hand, if the temperature of the air introduced is lower than that of the piping system or the air already in the system, a slowly rising pressure may occur. A rising pressure or a constant pressure for a 15-minute period, may be taken as a positive indication of tightness. In case of a rapidly falling pressure, a search for leaks shall be made before repeating the test. After draining the test medium, the systems shall be subjected to typical operational tests. Observations shall be made for syphoned traps and obstructed flow. Defects shall be corrected and systems retested as necessary. Operational tests - In conjunction with the hydrostatic tests or separately, each plumbing fixture and deck drain shall be operated to assure unobstructed flow and that the traps maintain the required water seal. In addition, the system shall be tested by flushing water closets on the upper levels and observing the water seals of water closets on the lower levels in both the overboard discharge and CHT collecting modes of operation. Loss of water seal from any of the tested water closets shall require tests of all plumbing drains and subsequent modifications and retest of failed drains. Tests as outlined above shall be accomplished only to the extent necessary to re-establish system integrity based on the extent of overhaul work unless specified otherwise in the contract. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

Where salinity cell and solenoid-operated dump valve installations are utilized, the actuating salinity cell shall be located a sufficient distance upstream of the dump valve to prevent passage of any contamination sensed by the salinity cell. The cells shall be located in the horizontal plane such that the electrodes are fully immersed in water for all conditions of list, trim, pitch, and roll, and for all distilling unit operating conditions. All salinity cells and solenoid-operated dump values shall be checked against a laboratory prepared solution to the value specified in NSTM Chapter 220, Volume II, to ensure correct operation of the salinity indicating system. Swing-check valve shall be installed in the brine overboard discharge line of each distilling plant. Pumps shall be installed in accordance with Section 503. Instrumentation piping shall conform to the requirements of drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385850, except all instrument lines sensing upstream of the distillate three-way dump valve shall be of copper-nickel alloy, composition 90-10. Brine overboard lines shall be oversized by one nominal size to accommodate the expected decrease in cross-sectional area due to scale formation. Each distilling unit shall be complete with no component serving more than one unit unless otherwise specified. A three-way solenoid-operated valve, in accordance with Mil. Spec MIL-V-16556, actuated by a salinity cell located in the distillate line after the last heat exchanger, shall be installed in the distillate discharge. One outlet port of this valve shall connect to the systems specified to receive distilled water. The other outlet port shall connect via a funnel, to a system as described herein which will discharge the waste water overboard without allowing it to reach the bilge where it can become oily waste. High salinity distillate shall dump to a tank which is then pumped overboard by a float switch activated pump. (In compartments with more than one evaporator, one dump tank can be utilized.) The distillate dump tank shall have an adequate capacity to contain 5 minutes of evaporator dumping before auto-start of the pump. The pump shall be slightly oversized to account for some plants producing more than rated capacity. Where flexible hoses are used, they shall be located so that they cannot be wetted by brine or seawater, and shall be protected to minimize the possibility of condensation from overhead equipment falling onto such hoses. Distilling plants in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-D-18641 shall have a distillate meter installed in the distillate discharge line downstream of the solenoid valve and shall have a bypass installed in the piping around the meter. If a ship's existing waste water system (See Section 534) meets the above requirements, and the waste distillate can reach the waste water tank by gravity drainage, then the waste water system can be used to collect the high salinity distillate. An orifice shall be provided upstream of the funnel in the dump discharge branch to provide a discharge head sufficient to prevent distillate pump cavitation. Where distilling plant locations permit the distillate dump to discharge directly overboard by gravity, no tank or pump is required. Discharge overboard shall be via a funnel located 3 feet above a gagged scupper valve above the waterline. For new or modified installations, the distilling plant circulating and feed water shall be supplied by a pump taking suction from a sea connection and discharging through a duplex strainer per MIL-S-17849.

Sealing water for the brine overboard discharge pump shall be supplied from the discharge of the circulating water pump for the plant. Other pumps operating under vacuum shall have sealing water supplied from their discharge piping. For steam-operated distillers on saturated steam plant surface ships, the atmospheric vent line for the heating steam circuit of the seawater heater shall be piped to terminate near a ventilation exhaust opening. 531c. Repair and Overhaul of Existing Systems Requirements and definitions of class of overhaul (i.e. Class A, B) and the use of authorized Technical Repair Standards (TRS) are provided in Section 042 herein. The repair and overhaul of systems, equipment, and components is intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and not necessarily intended to return overhauled items to the original manufacturing drawing/tolerances. The Supervisors Work Specification shall identify the class of overhaul (i.e., class B) authorized for the item. Where applicable, the Supervisors Work Specification shall invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved technical repair standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the item or system shall be in accordance with the applicable drawing, or technical manual as modified by the overhaul criteria paragraphs of other GSO sections herein. 531d.

Each air conditioning chilled water system subject to repair, modification or new installation, shall be cleaned and/or flushed with circulating water until all dirt, grit, fittings, flux, and other contaminants have been removed from the area subject to change. For brazed systems, cleaning may be accomplished by locally cleaning, or by component and subassembly cleaning after fabrication and before installation on ship. If it is determined by the installing activity that flushing is the preferred method of maintaining piping cleanliness, the flush shall be conducted as follows: Remove internals from all flow control fittings, system strainers, and solenoid valves or remove the complete solenoid valve and install a spool piece. Install a temporary flushing rig to the new, modified, and/or repaired portion of the system. Install a 20 mesh or finer strainer with a nylon bag in the flushing pump suction. The nylon bag shall be of continuous filament nylon cloth, scoured finish, 80 x 80 threads, 75 to 100 micron fiber thickness with 125 to 200 micron holes in the cloth. Clean the system by one of the following methods; a. Hot Flush with fresh water for one hour while ensuring the temperature at any part of the system does not drop below 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Re-circulate hot fresh water for a period of one hour. Temperatures shall be monitored to maintain at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit. After circulating hot fresh water for one hour, the system shall be flushed with clean fresh water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. b. Cold soak the system for 12 hours using fresh water at a minimum temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. After the 12 hour soak, system shall be flushed with clean fresh water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit minimum for four hours. Where arrangement permits, flushing shall be accomplished in one section at a time to obtain maximum water velocity in each section. The strainers shall be replaced as necessary. Clean and reinstall solenoid valves or valve internals, flow control fittings, and system strainers. Remove temporary flushing rig. The cleanliness flush requirement can be eliminated from new, modified or repaired portions of the chilled water piping system which are not brazed. This can be accomplished by cold flushing, locally cleaning, or by component and subassembly cleaning after fabrication and before installation on ship. Cleaning shall be limited to that necessary to adequately clean areas affected by work. 532q.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 542 GASOLINE AND JP-5 SYSTEMS 542a. Scope This section contains requirements for overhaul, modification or new installation of systems designed for the stowage and handling of gasoline and JP-5. Additional safety and other requirements associated with the stowage and handling of gasoline or JP-5 are contained in other sections. 542b. Definitions Gasoline refers to automotive gasoline, Mil. Spec. MIL-G-3056. Gasoline explosive mixture is a gasoline vapor-air mixture which will burn or explode in the presence of a source of ignition. The explosive range for gasoline explosive mixture is approximately 1.4 to 7.6 percent vapor by volume. Gasoline hazard areas are those areas in which gasoline or gasoline vapors may be present in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Gasoline hazard areas include spaces such as: Gasoline access trunks Gasoline motor rooms Gasoline pump rooms Gasoline tanks Gasoline tank cofferdams Gasoline tank compartments Jettisonable gasoline stowages Areas within an open horizontal distance of 15 feet and below 4 feet above the deck of the weather access to pump rooms, gasoline replenishment stations, gasoline service stations (except service stations which are located in the weather and have open gratings), jettisonable gasoline stowages, and other similar gasoline hazard areas with access from the weather. Elevator trunks and pits, and spaces that are open to hangars or other areas in which gasoline fueled aircraft or vehicles are stowed or fueled. Areas within 4 feet of the deck of hangars and well decks, on landing ships and docking ships in which gasoline fueled vehicles are stowed or fueled, and within 4 feet of highest water line in docking wells of docking ships. Compartments that are contiguous to gasoline tank compartments, packaged gasoline stowage compartments and cofferdams surrounding gasoline stowage tanks (This does not apply where two cofferdams separate the gasoline stowage from adjacent compartments).

Considerations shall be given to providing room for the cart draw bar, hose handling and cart charging personnel. Charging area shall have airtight double latchable doors with sill for cart entry. Doors are to be oriented so that there is direct access to the hangar bay or there is indirect access to the hangar bay via a passage that has no impediment to cart travel. Doors to O2N2 space compartments are to be single levered, quick-acting type including doors from other spaces into O2N2 space, as well as doors between O2N2 plant compartments within the overall O2N2 spaces. This provision does not include the double-doored LOX cart entrance. Portable aluminum ramp(s), and stowage provisions, therefore, shall be provided for rolling the lox carts over the sill of the double doors. Deck drains for O2N2 spaces shall be sealed to the deck covering and thermally isolated from the ship's deck to prevent cracking.

Separation of drains is required to preclude possible back flow through deck drains in the event of an emergency tank/cart drain down. A split drain duct, attached to the outside of the shell plating, may be used to protect the shell and to provide the required separation. When this design is utilized, tank/cart drains and deck drains shall be routed to opposite sides of the split duct. For the air separator unit, there shall be a drain accumulator having a minimum volume of 4.7 cubic feet. There shall be a liquid cryogenic drain line and appropriate valves so that the cryogenic fluid from the air separator can be either drained directly overboard via the accumulator or held in the accumulator and allowed to vent overboard. Insulated bulkhead and shell sleeves on all gaseous vent piping and drain piping from the air separator and its accumulator shall be provided. Relief valves shall be installed in high pressure air supply lines to O2N2 plants, where necessary, to protect from overpressurization.

All other liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen piping shall be of the single wall design (e.g., tank-to-liquid pump and tank-to-fill station piping) unless the length of pipe run requires double-wall insulation in order to minimize product vaporization. Single wall liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen piping and transition zones at double-wall product pipe separator and tank connections are to be insulated with multiple wrapped layers of fiberglass batts (1/2 to 1 inch thick) and aluminum foil, each layer sealed as a vapor barrier, and shall have an outer cover of fiberglass cloth coated with fire resistant vapor barrier coating Mil. Spec. MIL-C-19565 type II. For the outermost insulation layer beneath the cloth covering, formed cellular-glass may be used instead of fiberglass batts. Liquid cryogenic drains are to be uninsulated, except as necessary for personnel protection, so that vaporization of drained liquid is promoted by the bare piping. 552d. Oxygen Systems (New Installations and Modifications to Existing Systems) Oxygen produced or procured shall meet the requirements of MIL-O-27210. NAVSEA 0948-LP-045-7010, Volume I provides MIC LEVEL I material requirements for oxygen piping systems.

Two-speed injection - drawing NAVSEA 803-5001029 Balanced pressure proportioner - drawing NAVSEA 803-5959273 The balanced pressure proportioner (Fireboss) installed on DD 963/DDG 993 and LHA classes and single-speed injections systems shall be in accordance with the applicable system technical manuals. An exception to the above is that the PKP side of the Twin Agent Unit (TAU) has been, or will be, removed and shall be deleted from the requirements. 555e3. AFFF Reserve and Transfer Systems General - An AFFF reserve and transfer system is required where service tanks cannot be provided with sufficient capacity to meet the design operating time for the maximum concurrent demand. A minimum of two reserve tanks and a maximum number equal to the number of AFFF stations shall be provided. The tanks shall be located in spaces which are not protected by AFFF. Transfer system operating instructions and diagram are required at each AFFF station. Local and remote tank level indications shall be provided. The capability to monitor the pressure in each main shall be provided in D.C. Central. Tank vents shall be installed such that overflow will not impinge on the tank top. Transfer mains shall be located on the damage control deck. Piping shall be run as close as possible to AFFF stations. 555e4. AFFF Concentrate Spare Supply General - Spare concentrate is carried for various reasons, not all applicable to every ship, but dependent on the type of ship and AFFF system, as well as the recentness of the installation. On many older ships, with small capacity proportioners and tanks, spare AFFF is needed to "Fill-on-the-fly", as well as for the common reasons of topping off tanks and refilling depleted or contaminated supplies. In more recent installations, the larger tank sizes reduce or eliminate the requirement to "fill-on-the-fly" and enables ships to carry more concentrate ready to use and less as actual spare. The actual allowance is addressed by the ships' COSAL. AFFF Concentrate Spare Supply - The amount of spare AFFF concentrate provided varies depending on the type of ship and AFFF system. Generally, on ships which have FP-180/1000 proportioners, the spare allowance is addressed by the applicable standard drawing. For ships with injection pump systems, the allowance in most cases is for 100 percent of the total service tank capacity. For CV/CVN class ships, the spare is entirely contained within the reserve tanks. For ships having balanced pressure proportioners, the service tanks have been sized to meet the design operating time at the maximum concurrent demand so the amount of spare concentrate is based on the following: For ships with two to six AFFF stations, an amount equal to the capacity of the largest service tank. For ships with seven or more AFFF stations, an amount equal to the capacity of the two largest service tanks. AFFF Concentrate Spare Supply - The above requirements for ships with balanced pressure proportioners applies. The concentrate shall be provided in five-gallon cans stowed in racks in the vicinity of each tank fill connections, as far as practicable. In ship classes which have the capability for handling 55 gallon drums of concentrate, 80 percent of the spare may be provided in drums. The drums shall be stowed in an area accessible to the tank fill connections, preferably on the same deck. A hand pump shall be provided and stowed near each fill connection for use in transferring concentrate from the drums to the tanks. 555e5. AFFF Services AFFF Hose Reels/Outlets General - Areas with a primary function of storing or operating fueled vehicles, boats or aircraft; designated weapons staging areas on a weather deck; large, open areas susceptible to a fuel spill from a flight deck, helicopter landing platform, VERTREP area, cargo oil tank overflow, or from cargo oil transfer hose failure; and propulsion and auxiliary machinery rooms shall be protected by AFFF hoses. Typical areas to be protected are machinery rooms, fuel pump rooms, generator rooms, flight decks, hangar decks, helicopter landing platforms, well decks, vehicle stowage spaces and associated ramps, cargo weapons elevators, fleet oiler fueling decks, VERTREP areas, in-flight refueling areas, and aviation deck fantail areas. Hose reels shall be used, except where space constraints make this impracticable. In those cases, soft hose outlets may be used instead. Equipment for hose reels/outlets shall be in accordance with Table I. Hose reel shall be located such that the position of the rewind crank is perpendicular to the expected direction of travel. Where this is not possible, roller guides shall be used to prevent binding. Hose reels shall be located such that the position of the rewind crank is suitable for use by an operator standing on the deck. The operator shall have at least two inches oh hand clearance while using the hand crank. A universal rewinding bracket and pinion bearing mounting bracket to allow positioning of the rewind crank at any point in a 180-degree arc shall be added if necessary. The rewind crank shall be stowed near the hose reel using suitable stowage clips.

Local and remote actuation controls shall be individually tested for proper AFFF station lightoff, mode control, and/or shut-down. Local and remote indicator lights and alarms shall be tested for proper operation. When testing AFFF pumps with water (in lieu of AFFF) a capacity reduction is allowable. Capacity reduction shall be as specified by pump manufacturer. Belt tension, relief valve set pressure, seal or packing leakage, pump direction of rotation, pump speed, ability to draw a suction side vacuum, and ability to develop rated discharge pressure shall be tested and verified to meet the applicable pump technical manual requirements. Service outlets and sprinkling piping shall be checked for unobstructed flow. Compressed air at not more than 100 psig may be utilized to prove unobstructed flow. Flow tests of AFFF sprinkler groups upstream of control valves shall be conducted via use of the control valve test casting and fire hose. See Section 521 for operational tests of washdown countermeasure systems. AFFF stations shall be checked for proper AFFF concentration. The following samples shall be taken after the actuated station has stabilized: AFFF sample AFFF concentrate sample (tank) Seawater sample (from a running fire pump vent connection) Utilize the following percentage formula: RS-RW Percentage = RT-RW X 100 Where: RS = RW = RT =

Refractive index reading of AFFF sample Refractive index reading of seawater sample Refractive index reading of AFFF concentrate sample.

Each AFFF station serving hose reels or outlets shall be given an operational test for foam making ability. Each AFFF station shall discharge through a single 125 or 95 gal/min nozzle from which a sample shall be taken. In addition, for each balanced pressure proportioning unit, a test at sea of the helicopter platform or other demand greater than 200 gal/min shall be performed in which samples are taken from at least two locations. Concentrate tests utilizing hose outlets should be conducted with only the normal amount of hose existing at the outlet. If extra hose lengths must be installed to facilitate testing, the reduced flow rate shall be measured to ensure that: Flow through proportioner stations (FP-180, FP-1000, balanced-pressure and fire boss) is within usable operating limits. Excessive flow reduction (less than 60 gpm) will render test results invalid. The acceptance criteria for non-proportioning stations (twelve GPM machinery space pump, two-speed high capacity pump) is adjusted upwards. The following formula shall be used to determine the acceptable concentration under the reduced flow conditions: Where: RP = Acceptable percentage when extra hose lengths are employed. NP = Acceptable percentage when the normal hose length is employed. NF = Normal flow @ 100 psig nozzle pressure (to be determined from nozzle K factor) RF = Reduced flow caused by the extra hose lengths (to be determined from nozzle K factor and the actual delivered pressure to the nozzle under test conditions) The acceptance criteria for the percentage concentration for various AFFF systems during particular modes of operational testing shall be as follows: FP-180 machinery space AFFF station - Operating via one hose reel (set at 95 GPM), minimum concentration shall be 4 percent for a new installation or 3.5 percent for an existing installation.

Design: New and Modified Systems Hydraulic Fluid - The system shall be designed to use the selected fluid, with consideration given to the effects of viscosity changes within the range of operating temperatures. Hydraulic fluid, for systems not accumulator-loaded or for accumulator-loaded systems with pressures less than 600 lb/in2, shall be petroleum base of a type or grade selected from Mil. Spec. MIL-L-17672. For accumulator-loaded systems (except catapults, jet blast deflectors, and arresting gear) with pressures that exceed 600 lb/in2 with an operating temperature range from 30 degrees F to 180 degrees F, the hydraulic fluid shall be fire-resistant phosphate ester base in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-H-19457. For accumulator-loaded systems with pressures higher than 600 lb/in2, and operating temperatures outside the noted range, the selection of a suitable fluid shall be referred to NAVSEA. Hydraulic fluid for catapults, jet blast deflectors and weapons elevators on aircraft carriers shall be specified in Mil. Spec. MIL-H-22072. Hydraulic fluid for arresting gear shall be as specified in Mil. Spec. MIL-H-5559. Hydraulic components shall be designed and installed so that systems using fire-resistant hydraulic fluids will not be contaminated by petroleum base fluids. Pressure (New and Modified Systems) - Hydraulic systems shall be designed for an operating pressure not in excess of 3,000 lb/in2 and total pressures under hydraulic shock not exceeding 4,500 lb/in2 unless otherwise specified in applicable equipment specifications. The maximum system pressure for piping, valves and fittings in return lines shall be based on fluid supply tank pressure plus expected pressure drop between operating equipment and the fluid supply tank. Piping Design (New and Modified Systems) - The design and materials for hydraulic systems piping, pipe fittings, and seals shall be in accordance with Section 505 unless otherwise specified in this section. Return piping between a component and its cutout valve shall withstand supply pressure. If restrictors are placed in return lines, the piping upstream of the restrictors shall also withstand supply pressure. All components, piping, and fittings shall be designed to withstand hydraulic shock. For purposes of design, the increase in pressure due to hydraulic shock shall be calculated using the following formula: Ps = C(V-15) Where: Ps = pressure increase due to hydraulic shock, lb/in2 V = maximum velocity of fluid flow in pipe, feet per second C = 60 for petroleum base fluid C = 70 for water glycol fluid C = 90 for phosphate ester fluid The increase in pressure due to hydraulic shock, Ps, shall be added to the operating pressure and when this total pressure is in excess of maximum system pressure, the total pressure shall be used to determine the proper diameter and thickness of piping in accordance with Section 505.

When rudder stops, start motor and bring rudder hard left. Turn helm rapidly from hard left to amidships and when the rudder passes 25 degrees, cut off power. When rudder stops, start motor and bring rudder to hard right. Turn helm rapidly from hard right to amidships and when the rudder passes 25 degrees, cut off power. When rudder stops, start motor and bring rudder amidships. Astern steering tests (New System) - For astern operation, excessive ship speed may cause the rudder to go hardover and make the ship's course temporarily uncontrollable. Tests shall begin with low speed and ample sea room. Increments of shaft speed shall be tried until limiting conditions are obtained. The limiting condition shall be the sustained astern speed which permits full rudder movements, even if the ship astern operation is unstable. The astern tests shall be conducted as follows: Starting from amidships, bring the rudder to left 25 degrees Bring rudder to right 30 degrees Bring rudder to hard left Bring rudder to hard right Bring rudder to hard left Bring rudder amidships Turn helm rapidly from amidships to right 30 degrees and as the rudder passes 20 degrees, cut off power to the steering gear motor. When rudder stops, start the motor and bring rudder to amidships. Turn rudder rapidly from amidships to left 30 degrees and when rudder passes 20 degrees, cut off power. When rudder stops, start the motor and bring the rudder to hard left. Turn helm rapidly from hard left to amidships and when the rudder passes 25 degrees, cut off power. When rudder stops, start the motor and bring rudder amidships. b.

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

No load test - With the wildcat disengaged and the brake set, each windlass unit shall be operated continuously at the required no load speeds, alternately in each direction without load, for a minimum of 1/2 hour. Speed control - For windlasses having straight electric drive, each windlass shall hoist and lower the rated load on each of the controller point settings. Smoothness of operation shall be tested by handling test loads at low speeds. Normal operation - Each windlass unit shall be tested by hoisting and lowering its anchor continuously through 4 cycles by its wildcat in 30 fathoms of water at an average rate of not less than 6-fathoms/min (5 fathoms/min for CV/CVN’s). If the test is conducted in less than 30 fathoms of water, sufficient weight shall be added to the anchor to simulate the anchor and 30 fathoms of chain. This test shall also demonstrate satisfactory operation of the anchor and chain in the hawsepipe, of the chain on the wildcat and in the chain pipe. Without exceeding the full load rating of the motor, unless specified otherwise in technical manuals, the windlass shall be tested by hoisting with its wildcat a weight equal to 100 fathoms of chain plus the anchor weight at no specified speed. One hundred (100) fathom test is not required for overhauled system. If a reduced speed control is provided (such as the quarter speed connection for alternating current electro-mechanical windlasses), each windlass so fitted shall be tested at the reduced speed as for normal operation above except that hoisting or lowering shall be accomplished at no specified rate. If cross-over drive is possible (such as electro-hydraulic windlasses), each windlass so fitted shall be tested as for normal operation above, but with the starboard power unit driving the port wildcat and vice versa. In order to test the electric/hydraulic brake, the windlass loaded as for normal operation above shall lower the load until the anchor is within 2 fathoms of the bottom at which time the electric motor shall be de-energized and the electric brake allowed to function. The brake shall stop and hold the load before the anchor grounds. Where the electric/hydraulic brake is installed on the hydraulic power unit, the brake must stop the anchor; however, minor creep of the anchor chain caused by internal leakage of the hydraulic system is anticipated and acceptable. Each mechanical brake shall be statically tested. With the anchor (plus compensatory load specified above if 30 fathoms of water is not available) in the stowage position held only by the mechanical brake with the locking heads disconnected, the brake shall hold the load for ten minutes with no slippage allowed. Upon satisfactory completion of the static test, a dynamic test shall be conducted by freefalling the anchor from the water’s edge. The brake shall stop and hold the anchor within 2 fathoms (3 fathoms for carriers) of travel before the anchor grounds. Where manual operated and power operated mechanical brakes are required, the power operated mechanical brake shall be tested in accordance with the foregoing procedure for mechanical brakes. Where power operated mechanical brakes are required, the manual mechanical brake shall be used only for emergency and be tested to ensure it can hold the anchor plus 60 fathoms of chain. The tests for both electric and mechanical brakes shall be repeated as may be necessary to demonstrate satisfactory operation. Each capstan (new or structurally repaired), with the wildcats disconnected shall be given a static test, applied at midheight of the capstan head and normal to its axis, equal to the breaking strength of largest mooring line used. In addition, each capstan shall be run continuously for a half hour period at each design speed and corresponding rated load for one direction of rope wrap, allowing for reverse rotation of the capstan. The procedure shall be repeated with the rope wrapped in the reverse direction on the capstan. Accomplish this by alternately raising and lowering a weight equal to rated load, using a convenient length of line, for 1/2 hour. Reverse rope wrap and repeat the procedure for opposite line pull. Anchor Windlass (Special Sea Tests - New and Modified Systems) - No anchor windlass tests shall be conducted in water over 65 fathoms in depth. With the ship in water of at least 60 fathoms depth, each anchor in turn, shall be lowered until 60 fathoms of chain are out of the hawsepipe and then hoisted back until the anchor is in its stowage position. Lowering and hoisting shall be at an average rate of not less than 6 fathoms/min (5 fathoms/min for CV/CVN’s). If the windlass is provided with a reduced speed control the final housing of the anchor shall be accomplished using this control. The windlass shall be allowed to cool, if necessary, between each complete cycle of operation. If cross-over drive is possible, each anchor, in turn, shall be lowered and hoisted with the opposite power unit. At-sea test is not required for overhauled or repaired anchor windlass systems. Electric/hydraulic brakes shall be tested while lowering the anchor at maximum speed. When 60 fathoms of chain have been let out, the electric motor shall be de-energized and the electric/hydraulic brake allowed to function. The brake shall stop and

hold the load. The length of chain paid out after the brake is energized shall be recorded. Where the electric brake is installed on the hydraulic power unit, the brake must stop the anchor; however, minor creep of the anchor chain caused by internal leakage of the hydraulic system is anticipated and acceptable. With the locking head disconnected, the anchors shall be dropped (one at a time) by freeing the mechanical brake. The anchor shall be stopped with 15, 30, 45, and 60 fathoms of chain out of the hawsepipe successively by manual operation of the handwheel without additional leverage. In performing this test, the brake shall be freed by turning the handwheel slowly to the position where the anchor begins its free fall. From this position the brake shall be rapidly reset by the time the specified fathom mark reaches the hawsepipe. When making the test on windlasses equipped for power operation, power application of the brakes shall be employed. The brake shall stop and hold the anchor and chain with 15 and 30 fathoms out, in not more than 2 fathoms; with 45 fathoms out, in not more than 3 fathoms; and, with 60 fathoms out, in not more than 4 fathoms. Comparable stopping distance/fathoms out for power operated brakes on CV/CVN’s shall be 3,4 and 5 fathoms in lieu of 2,3 and 4. This distance shall be measured from the position of the fathom mark when the brake has been reset to the position of this mark when the anchor stops. The equipment will not be required to operate under full load conditions for more than 1 hour out of each 4-hour period. Sufficient operating data shall be recorded to calculate the performance characteristics of each unit tested. The following data shall be observed and recorded during both the hoisting and cross-over tests: Bearing temperatures before, during and after runs Hoisting and lowering speed for all speed control points Oil pressures and temperatures Performance of brakes Time Volts, amperes, kilowatts input and r/min, for all motors Wildcat--Capstan r/min General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

Capstan - Each capstan shall be run without load at rated speed for a period of 1/2 hour in each direction, to determine that no abnormal heat, wear or noise develops in any of the sub-components that make up the installation. Each capstan shall then be run at rated load and rated speed, using the specified line size, for a period of 1/2 hour in each direction. Each capstan shall be run continuously for a 1/2 hour period at each design speed and corresponding rated load for one direction or rope wrap, allowing for reverse rotation of the capstan. The procedure shall be repeated with the rope wrapped in the reverse direction on the capstan. Where the capstans are run by hydraulic fluids, these tests may be conducted in 10 minute increments, allowing sufficient time between operating periods for the hydraulic fluid to cool. The temperature of the hydraulic fluid measured at the discharge flange of the pumps shall not exceed 180 degrees F with the hydraulic fluid coolers, if required, in operation, and with the initial temperature of the fluid in the supply tank at least 100 degrees F. On electric motor driven capstans the electric brake shall be tested by stopping and holding the capstan with 150-percent rated line pull. When removed from foundation and reinstalled, capstans shall be subjected to a static test by placing a loop of line over the capstan head at the midheight and 90 degrees to its axis to produce bending moment only. Using the capstan head as a bitt, a load equal to the breaking strength of the largest line size used with the capstan shall be applied. Newly installed capstans shall be tested by taking several turns of line on the capstan head and applying a static load of twice the design load. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

Automatically monitoring OWS effluent and, where effluent does not meet standards, rerouting back to the oily waste holding tank (OWHT). Sources of shipboard oily wastes include: a. Lubricating Oil Leakage and drainage from equipment and systems into bilges. Contaminated oil from centrifugal purifiers. Used oil from equipment during oil change and maintenance. b. Fuel Oil Spillage Leakage Contaminated fuel settling tank strippings Ballast water from fuel tanks Machinery drainage c. Petroleum Based Hydraulic Fluids - Leakage of petroleum based hydraulic fluid from glands and seals into hydraulic pump room bilges. Oil/water separator. NAVSEA-approved OWS's (approved for limited production and approved for full production) shall be used to process oily waste. The OWS shall discharge processed water overboard, above the waterline, and discharge separated oil to a WOT. The OWS system shall be provided with piping to allow the system to service all the major areas where oily waste is generated or likely to accumulate. These areas will include, but not necessarily in all cases be limited to, the machinery space bilges and the OWHT. The OWS shall be placed as close to the OWHT and WOT as possible. The OWS pump(s) shall share a common suction with the oily waste transfer pump (OWTP). This will enable the OWS to process oily waste directly from bilges and drainage tanks, and from the OWHT in the event that the OWTP should fail. For ships with OWHT(s), the preferred mode of operation shall be for all oily waste to be transferred to the OWHT prior to being processed by the OWS. The motor controllers and electrical connection boxes for the OWS shall be mounted in areas free of possible water damage, or shall be protected from water damage. The Fram OPB-10NP OWS is a 10-gpm OWS designed for installation on auxiliary, amphibious and combatant ships. Oil content monitors. The OCM shall be installed downstream from the OWS and shall be capable of determining the oil content of the OWS effluent. The OCM output signal shall control a three-way solenoid valve. If an unacceptable effluent oil content is detected, the control valve shall activate to return effluent to the OWHT, to the bilges in the absence of an OWHT or in some cases to the bilge water collecting tank (BWCT). Oily waste holding tank. OWHT's are required to hold oily waste prior to processing by the OWS, and are also used to hold oily waste on ships without separators while the ship is transiting restricted waters and/or waiting to discharge oily waste to shore facilities. The OWHT capacity will vary depending on shipboard constraints; however, the capacity should be sufficient to hold all the oily waste generated in 1/2 day by a ship in an auxiliary steaming mode. On ships requiring an OWHT of over 1000 gallons, and where space is critical, the OWHT capacity shall be a minimum of 1000 gallons. The approximate tank capacities for these tanks are given below: SHIP TYPES CV, CVT CVN AGF, AO, AOE, AOR, LCC, LKA, LPD, LPH CG (except CG-47) AD, AE, AFS, AGDS, AS, LSD, LHA, LST DD (except DD 963), DDG, FF, FFG 1 CGN DD 963, DDG 47, FFG 7 ATS ASR

The WOT shall overflow to the OWHT or if necessary to eliminate excessively long piping runs, the WOT shall overflow overboard. The overflow piping shall initiate from a point low in the WOT so that any water which may have accumulated will overflow before the oil. Tank construction. When two tanks are provided by the division of an existing tank, an oiltight bulkhead shall be installed to separate the two tanks. All new or modified tanks are to be provided with two (2) manholes (see Section 624). All new and modified tanks shall be provided with air escapes, overflows, and sounding tubes to comply with Section 506. Design new tanks in accordance with Sections 100 and 192. All internal tank surfaces, including ladders and other ferrous structures, fittings, pipe supports, etc., shall be coated to prevent corrosion from oily waste and waste oil. Care must be taken to ensure complete coverage of all such surfaces. The coating shall have a final total dry film thickness of 10 mils, minimum, in accordance with Section 631. Extreme care shall be taken to ensure that proper and complete surface preparation has been accomplished prior to coating. NOTE: Tank level indicators shall not be coated by the manufacturer. The OWHT and the WOT shall be provided with cathodic protection as specified below. ZHC-47 zinc anodes shall be installed in the tanks in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing No. 805-921865. One anode shall be installed for every 80 square feet of tank surface. These anodes shall be distributed in concentrations proportional to the amount of time that the area of the tank will spend submerged. In the OWHT, for example the greatest concentration of anodes shall be installed below the OWS cutout switches since this area will be submerged continuously. The next greatest concentration of anodes should exist between the OWS cut-in and the OWS cutout switches. Anodes shall be concentrated progressively in the WOT with the greatest concentration at the bottom of the tank. Anodes shall also be located in the vicinity of dissimilar metal combinations in the tank such as piping penetrations. The tank surface shall be coated prior to installing the anodes. After installing the anodes, the studs shall be touch-up painted. Tank liquid level indicators. Liquid level indicating systems shall be in accordance with MIL-L-23886, Type IC/MF magnetic float-type liquid level indicator with audible high level alarms. The system shall be installed in accordance with NAVSEA Drawing No. 803-2145532, revision A. These indicators are to be installed in all WOTs, OWHTs, and any tanks that contain any liquid petroleum product and overflow directly overboard with the following exceptions: (1) Gasoline tanks which use static head type liquid level indicator system drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 810-1385847, type III, class A. (2) Auxiliary fuel service tanks 500 gallons or less which use direct-reading glass column type gauge indicators. TLIs should also be installed in feedwater and potable water tanks to preclude their overflowing to the bilge. See Sections 504, 541 and 542. High level alarms shall be set to give at least two minutes warning before overflow occurs (see Section 541). Primary receivers and high level alarms for pollution abatement tanks shall be located in a continuously manned space in a protected area. The OWHTs and WOTs shall be provided with TLIs to indicate oil-water interface and oil-air interface. TLI secondary receivers for WOTs and OWHTs shall be located at the pump manifold or tank cutout valves. High level alarms for the WOTs shall be located at the OWS. OWHT high level alarms shall be located at each pump that is capable of discharging to the OWHT. The WOTs and OWHTs shall also have high level alarms in the boiler/engine control station or console, or enclosed operating station when provided, and in a space that is continuously manned while on cold iron watch. Overboard overflows. Reducing potential for overboard discharge of fuel can be accomplished by minimizing the number of fuel tank overflows which discharge directly overboard. Direct overflows to sea from fuel tanks shall be minimized to the maximum extent practicable considering Section 506 criteria. In combining overflows, consideration shall be given to the tank filling sequence and grouping tanks served by common fill manifolds and deck connections.

Overflow piping from all overflow tanks and overflow mains shall be sized to accommodate the maximum combined filling rate of all the tanks served. A swing check valve shall be installed in the overflow line from each tank for fuel, diesel oil, JP-5, waste oil and oily waste. Each check valve shall be installed in a fore and aft horizontal section of piping. Check valves for these tanks shall be located at the high point in the overflow piping, unless the overflow discharges overboard. A swing check valve shall be installed near the shell penetration in all overflows which discharge overboard. For overflows from single tanks, such as the Contaminated Fuel Settling Tank (CFST), only the check valve at the shell penetration is required. If the ship is provided with an OWHT, the CFST may overflow to this tank provided the CFST overflow is higher than the OWHT overflow and long runs of overflow piping do not result. JP-5 and fuel tank overflows and air escapes shall be separate from each other and from all other overflow and air escape systems. New tank label plates shall be provided for those tanks which have been designated as overflow tanks. The Damage Control Book and Ship's Information Book liquid loading instructions should be updated to reflect the new overflow arrangement. Overflow tanks should be the last tanks (in the overflow group) to be filled, and the first tanks to be emptied. Deck discharge connection/oily waste transfer pump piping risers. OWTP piping risers with deck discharge connections are required to enable ships to discharge oily waste and waste oil to shore facilities while in port. The riser(s) shall allow the OWTPs, and the fuel stripping pump(s) to discharge on the lowest weather deck. The riser(s) shall terminate in standard 2 1/2 inch cam lock deck discharge connections. The riser(s) shall be sized to accommodate the maximum flow from the individual pump or the total flow when more than one pump discharges to a common riser. The number of risers required must be determined on an individual ship basis; however, a minimum of two connections, located approximately amidships port and starboard, are required on most ships to allow for shore service from either side. On small ships, a single connection may be satisfactory, provided it is located such that discharge can be directed to both port and starboard sides of the ship. The number of deck connections may be increased to accommodate the required flow rates. On AD and AS type ships, a connection shall be provided aft to allow for a Mediterranean moor. Each deck discharge connection shall be in accordance with NAVSEA Dwg. No. 810-2145526. Navy stock number 9C 4730-00-602-3160 has been assigned to the standard deck discharge connection. Oily waste transfer pumps/fuel stripping pumps. Ships shall have dedicated OWTP(s) and dedicated fuel stripping pump(s). Where there is only one existing fuel stripping pump, the suctions and discharges for the fuel stripping and OWTPs shall be cross-connected. The cross-connection on the pump suctions shall be through a ball valve and a swing-check valve. This will permit the OWTPs to take a suction on the fuel stripping pump suction manifold in the event of the failure of the fuel stripping pump. The cross-connection on the pumps' discharges shall be via a locked closed valve. This will permit the fuel stripping pump to discharge to the OWHT (from the CFST low suction), overboard, and to shore facilities via the deck discharge connections. The discharge cross-connection may be utilized to allow the OWTP to act as the fuel stripping pump if the fuel stripping pump becomes inoperable. On ships equipped with more than one existing fuel stripping pump, a cross-connection shall be installed between the discharges of the fuel stripping and OWTPs. The cross-connection shall be through a locked closed ball valve and a swing-check valve. This will permit the fuel stripping pump to discharge overboard, to the deck connections or to the OWHT. Existing bilge or bilge/stripping pumps shall be replaced based upon the following criteria: On ships equipped with steam reciprocating bilge or bilge/stripping pumps, at least one motor driven pump will be installed to replace one steam pump. These new pumps shall be designated as the OWTP(s). The remaining bilge/stripping steam pump(s) shall be redesignated as the fuel stripping pump(s). On ships equipped with steam reciprocating bilge or bilge/stripping pumps that are no longer maintainable, these pumps shall be replaced with motor driven pumps. New motor driven pumps will be installed on those ships that have eductors only. No new or replacement OWTPs shall be steam driven. OWTPs should be capable of providing at least a 10-psi pressure at the weather deck discharge connections. The capacity of the new or replacement pumps shall be determined on the basis of off-loading the OWHT in approximately one to two hours. On aircraft carriers, an off-loading time up to 4 hours in duration is acceptable. Replacement pumps shall be of a type designated by NAVSEA. The OWTP shall take suction from: a. bilge wells and hose connections, b. oily waste bilge collection tanks, c. oily waste holding tank(s), d. waste oil tank(s), e. and other oily waste collection points considered necessary. The discharge of the oily waste transfer pump shall have connections provided to allow discharge overboard, to the OWHT and to the deck discharge connections. Remote OWTP(s) may be required to supplement the main OWTP(s). These pumps are used to service areas too remote to be serviced by the OWTP(s). The design of these pumps shall be specified by NAVSEA. The capacity of remote pumps shall be determined based on the oily waste water generation of the space serviced. Remote pumps shall take a suction on the space(s) serviced and discharge to the OWHT. The fuel stripping pump shall take suction from the fuel storage tanks, fuel service tanks, and the CFSTs. The fuel stripping pump shall discharge overboard, to the OWHT, the fuel oil storage tanks, the CFSTs and the deck connections. The fuel stripping pump shall be used to strip the CFST of contaminated fuel and water via the low suction tail pipe and to reclaim fuel via the high suction tail pipe. OWTP suction piping shall normally be sized according to the following rated pump capacity:

Pump Capacity 10 gpm Up to 15 gpm Up to 50 gpm Up to 100 gpm Up to 200 gpm

Suction Pipe (NPS) 1 1/2 in. 1 1/2 to 2 in. 2 to 2 1/2 in. 2 1/2 to 3 in. 3 to 4 in.

However, the actual pipe size to be used as OWTP suction piping will depend on: (1) The suction lift limitation of the pump employed (worn pump conditions). (2) The suction lift created by the piping system. (3) The location of the oily waste transfer pump. The OWTP suction main shall be connected to the main drainage system via a check valve and a ball valve so that the main drainage system can take suction from the oily waste transfer system. All cutout valves on the suction side of the OWS and on the suction side of all pumps shall be full port ball valves. A recirculation chamber shall be provided for all Blackmer rotary vane bilge pumps. The rotary vane pump requires a small amount of priming water to seal the vane clearances, reduce friction and keep the pump cool. This priming water is provided by slightly opening the recirculation valve. Excessive rattling due to cavitation, can be eliminated by further opening the recirculation valve. The chamber shall be located in series with the pump discharge piping, the minimum practicable distance from the pump, upstream of any pump discharge cutout valves. Chamber size shall be approximately 8 gallons for 100/200 gpm pumps and 5 1/2 gallons for 15/50 gpm pumps. Chamber shall be a bottom-flanged design, with 1 inch ips valved drain to the bilge or oily water collecting system. Chamber flanged top shall incorporate the following items: an automatic float vent valve, a valved funnel fill, and a pressure gage connection. The recirculating line shall be 1/2 inch ips with globe valve; shall connect to the chamber near the bottom; and shall connect to the pump suction piping the minimum practicable distance from the pump. A suction vacuum pressure gage connection shall be provided between pump and suction strainer. Hose connections shall be installed just upstream and downstream of pump cutout valves to enable temporary "sandpiper" pump connection in the event the OWTP fails. Oil/water drain segregation. The segregation of waste water and oily water drainage systems allows non-oily water to be discharged overboard or collected separately without entering the bilge and adding to oily waste. For waste water drainage system criteria, see Section 534. NOTE: Synthetic oil waste drainage, such as the lubricating oil for gas turbines, and the gas turbine water wash drainage shall be collected in separate tanks or containers and held for off-loading to shore facilities. Synthetic oily waste and gas turbine water wash drainage shall not be processed by the ship's OWS. An oily waste drainage system shall be installed in main and auxiliary machinery spaces in order to maintain reasonably clean dry bilges under all operating conditions. The oily waste drainage system shall collect oil and oily water drainage (excluding that collected in accordance with Section 262 and Section 541) and shall discharge to the oily waste bilge sump tank. The branch line from each collection point shall have a funnel except for drip pans and drains from open pockets of equipment where the leakage is visible. Level indicators serving bilge sump tanks formed by inner bottom structure shall be of a design that will not affect watertight integrity in the event of shell damage in way of the tank. The oily water bilge sump tank shall have a minimum capacity of 250 gallons. The tank may be either independently constructed or structural. Access openings, level indicators, sounding tubes, and vents shall be provided. Bilge sump tank drainage shall be as specified in Section 529 and herein. The drain mains shall be provided with a valved low-point drain to the bilge in each compartment. Independently constructed sump tanks shall be provided with a submerged tank overflow discharging through a funnel to the nearest bilge drain well (see Section 529). Overflow height shall be below that of the lowest funnel served by the system to prevent overflow at funnels when the tank is full. Drainage from equipment and piping outside of the main and auxiliary machinery spaces shall be led to deck drains, drain wells or sump tanks, as applicable, so as to preclude overboard discharge of oily waste, and to contain waste water. Low points of boiler air casings shall be drained to the oily water drainage system. Unless otherwise specified, relief valve discharges which could possibly be contaminated with flammable fluid shall discharge to the oily water drainage system. Placards, diagrams and plates. Each overboard discharge valve and pump that is capable of allowing the discharge of oily waste shall have an information plate which reads as follows: WARNING DISCHARGE OF OIL PROHIBITED The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily wastes into or upon the navigable waters of the United States, or the waters of the contiguous zone, or which may affect the natural resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under the

management authority of the United States, if such discharge causes a film or discoloration of the surface of the water. Violators are subject to substantial civil penalties and/or criminal sanctions including fines and imprisonment. Oily waste transfer system placards shall be placed near each OWTP and OWS. Each OWS shall have a system operating placard. 593e. Repair and Overhaul of Existing Systems The repair and overhaul of systems, equipment, and components is intended to restore items to their original performance profiles and not necessarily intended to return overhauled items to the original manufacturers drawing tolerances. The Supervisor's Work Specification shall identify the class of overhaul (i.e., class B) authorized for the item. Where applicable, the Supervisor's Work Specification shall invoke the overhaul of the item to be accomplished in accordance with an approved Technical Repair Standard (TRS). Where an approved Technical Repair Standard does not exist, or is not authorized, the overhaul of the item or system shall be in accordance with applicable drawings, or technical manuals as modified by the overhaul criteria paragraphs of other GSO Sections. Requirements and definitions of class of overhaul (i.e., Class A, B) and the use of authorized Technical Repair Standards (TRS) is provided in Section 042 herein. 593f. Shock Section 072 defines the requirements for shock as it relates to ship overhaul. 593g. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the shipalt development process are specified in Section 085. Other technical documentation requirements related to overhaul are specified in Section 800. 593h. Testing Requirements Sewage and Waste Water CHT system tank pump discharge piping shall be hydrostatically tested to 135 percent of system design pressure, but not less than 50 lb/in2 with clean fresh or seawater. CHT header piping shall be tested like plumbing drains in Section 528. The general and precautionary requirements specified in Section 505 shall apply. Tightness and completion tests of the CHT tank shall be in accordance with Section 192. The CHT tank shall be hydrostatically tested to a pressure equivalent to a hydrostatic head of 2 feet above the Flooding Water Level I of the ship or the highest point of the CHT tank vent piping, whichever is greater. No leakage shall be allowed. Tightness test of the CHT tanks and piping shall not be performed until all structural work, including any structural attachments which might affect tightness, is complete. All permanent access fittings and closures shall have been installed. Completion test (Section 192) need not be conducted. Unobstructed flow test - Following hydrostatic testing of the CHT tank, the aeration or aspirator system (if installed) shall be operated at design flow to demonstrate unobstructed flow. Operational tests - The operational capability of the CHT system shall be demonstrated in accordance with Section 505. The CHT pump discharge pressure shall be tested for compliance with the requirements that the pressure at the deck discharge connection pressure be at least 10 lb/in2 under shut-off head condition. This shall be accomplished by the use of pressure gages at the sewage pump discharge immediately downstream of the pump and at the shore connection valve which shall be throttled to induce the 10 lb/in2 pressure. Each pump shall be tested individually. The pump(s) control level sensor and alarm system shall be demonstrated as follows: Manual mode: 1. Selector switch set to "MAN1". Each pump shall be manually actuated independent of the level sensors or tank liquid level. 2. Selector switch set to "MAN2". Each pump shall automatically stop at the low liquid level (10 percent of the tank capacity). Automatic mode: 1. Alternation of duty pump operation in the sewage transfer mode shall be demonstrated. 2. Low level pump cutout shall be demonstrated. 3. Duty pump starts when the tank liquid level reaches about 30 percent of the tank capacity. 4. Standby pump starts when the tank liquid level reaches about 60 percent of the tank capacity. 5. The visual and audible high level alarm signal is actuated when the tank liquid level reaches about 85 percent of the tank capacity. The audible alarm shall be silenced with the visual alarm remaining activated. System flushing and cleaning performance shall be demonstrated by diverting the seawater flow from the firemain to the CHT tank through the spray nozzles. The manual mode selector switch should be set to the "MAN2" position, so that one sewage pump is operational. Under these conditions, the flow into the tank shall not exceed 100 percent of the discharge capacity of the operating pump. Tank overflow operation shall be demonstrated by shutting down the sewage discharge pump, closing all valves on the soil and waste CHT drains which originate below the waterline to assure that the flow discharges at the overboard discharge. Comminutor (if installed) maintenance accessibility shall be demonstrated by closing the comminutor isolation valves on the inlet and discharge of the comminutor and introducing water through the drain system. All water shall enter the CHT tank through the comminutor bypass. Operation of the CHT pump room sump and eductor system shall be demonstrated. Operational tests of the CHT system diverting shall demonstrate that the system piping and valves operate as specified.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 602 HULL DESIGNATING AND MARKING 602a. Scope This section contains the requirements for compartment designation, compartment numbering, label plates, instruction plates, and special identification and marking. 602b. Designation of Compartments, Spaces and Stations The designations of compartments, spaces and stations shall be in accordance with DOD-STD-2150 (SH). Designations shall not be abbreviated unless the names are lengthy and the abbreviations are given in MIL-STD-12. Where two or more similarly named spaces or stations occur in the ship, the spaces shall be designated by name and suffix number as follows: Spaces other than machinery spaces. When two or more such spaces are to be numbered (i.e., Radar Room No. 1, Radar Room No. 2) the numbers shall be assigned consecutively, starting with No. 1, by applying one or more of the following general rules in the order given: a. From forward, aft b. From top, down c. From starboard to port The forward bulkhead of the space in question shall be used in determining its longitudinal location within the ship. After original number assignment, any additional space, the number of which as determined above would duplicate a number already used, shall be assigned the number of the space immediately preceding it, followed by the letter "a". (For example, an additional Radar Room occurring between Radar Room No. 2 and Radar Room No. 3 shall be designated Radar Room No. 2a.) similarly, a space the number of which would precede that of the space numbered "1", shall be assigned the number "1" preceded by the letter "A" (As Radar Room No. A1). Aircraft fueling stations shall be numbered to indicate: Location of station (serving Hangar Deck or Flight Deck) by prefix letter, "H" for Hangar Deck, or "F" for Flight Deck. Location of station (with respect to fore and aft location in the ship) by approximate frame number in the station number. Location of station (with respect to ship centerline) by using odd frame number for starboard stations and even frame number for port stations. Type of fuel dispensed by suffixed letter "G" for aviation gasoline and "J" for jet fuel (JP-5). Where two fuels are dispensed from the same station, suffix for both fuels shall be used. Example (1) station located between frames 74-77, starboard gallery deck, for aviation gasoline and JP-5, number will be "F"-75-JG". Example (2) station located between frames 141-144, port hangar deck, for JP-5, number will be "H-142-J". 602c. Compartment Numbering Compartments shall be numbered for identification and to facilitate location and damage control.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 605 RATPROOFING

605a. Scope This section contains requirements for ratproofing. 605b. General Ratproofing is not required in spaces such as tanks, voids, and similar spaces which do not contain fittings or structure which could harbor rats. Elsewhere, however, and particularly in spaces where food is stowed, prepared, and consumed, where mess gear is cleaned and where garbage and trash are collected and disposed of, every practicable means to ensure effective ratproofing shall be provided. For acceptable methods and details for ratproofing, see Handbook on Sanitation of Vessel Construction published by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Public Health Service Publication No. 393. Details that conflict with requirements contained elsewhere in these specifications are not applicable. Wherever practicable, ratproofing shall be accomplished by the nature of the construction rather than the use of additional fittings, plates, and screens. Enclosed inaccessible spaces shall be eliminated. Where this is impracticable, these spaces shall be closed to exclude rats. 605c. Detail Requirements Bulkheads - Bulkheads forming boundaries of food service spaces, ship stores, ice cream bars, storerooms, machinery spaces, electrical-electronic spaces, and other spaces where rats could subsist or where the existence of rat infestation would not be readily detected, shall be constructed so that, when doors are closed, passage for rats will be prevented. Openings - Circular openings shall be limited to 1/2-inch diameter, and the side dimension of square openings shall not exceed 1/2 inch. Openings in louvers and parallel-sided openings, such as around doors and expanded metal bulkheads, shall not exceed 3/8 inch in width. Deck gratings and portable flats in storerooms, except refrigerated storerooms, shall be constructed and fitted so that no openings are wider than 1/2 inch. Ventilation openings requiring ratproofing shall be fitted with ratproof screens. Pockets - Inaccessible pockets in foundations shall be closed with sheet metal or screens. Battens, bins, shelves, furniture, lockers, racks, and similar equipment shall be fitted to eliminate inaccessible pockets. If this is not practicable, such pockets shall be closed to exclude rats. Miscellaneous - Electric and electronic equipment with holes larger than 1/2 inch shall be fitted with temporary covers, after installation on the ship, to prevent rats nesting in the equipment and possible damage to the installation during construction of the ship. The run of electric cables, groups of pipes, and ventilation ducts shall avoid inaccessible pockets and ledges of sufficient size to harbor rats. Where practicable, installations shall be completely accessible for inspection and cleaning. Where cables, pipes, or ducts are run close to one another or to adjacent structure, clearances shall be kept to not more than 1/2 inch, or shall be made large enough to permit ready inspection. Where neither of these conditions is practicable, these inaccessible void spaces shall be ratproofed. Where cables or pipes pass through nontight structure, or enter a duct or trunk, the opening shall be fitted with a collar or ratproof screen if that clearance is 3/8 inch or more. Where headroom and other considerations permit, vertical rather than horizontal racks shall be used to carry a group of cables, in order to eliminate flat horizontal surfaces and to facilitate inspection.

611b. Davits (New and Modified Installation) General - Hatch davits shall be installed in accordance with approved drawings and in general accordance with hull type 805-1645271. Number, location and capacity shall be as necessary for the convenient and rapid handling of stores to and from storerooms, and for striking down ammunition to magazines. Hatch davits shall also be suitable for handling ship fenders, stores and ammunition over the side of the ship, if other portable or permanent arrangements are not provided for this purpose. In general, all hatch davits shall be portable and furnished complete with tackle. Stowage locations for portable davits shall be carefully selected for convenience to point of use, so as not to form an obstruction in lines of traffic, to be protected from boarding seas, and to eliminate the possibility of davits being jarred out of position and falling into the line of fire of guns or missiles. The number of sizes of davits shall be kept to a minimum and all davits of the same capacity shall be interchangeable. Working load - Ammunition handling davits shall be designed to handle a working load equal to the heaviest piece of ammunition stowed in the magazines served by the davit, except that if chain hoists or electric wire rope hoists are attached, the davit shall be designed for the capacity and weight of the hoist. Stores and fender handling davits shall be designed for a working load of 1000 pounds, except that those for destroyer types and smaller ships shall be designed for a working load of 500 pounds. The working load shall be stamped or otherwise marked on the davit label plate in such a manner that it will not be obliterated by painting. New aluminum and steel 500 to 2500 pound load handling davits shall be fabricated in accordance with NAVSEA Standard drawing 805-1645271. If the capacity of ammunition davits is approximately that of the stores davits, both types shall be designed for the heavier working loads.

Scope This section contains requirements for painting and preservation of new, modified or repaired structure, equipment and materials. 631b. General When authorized by work specification, in applicable drawings, Supervisor specifications, or as further directed in this section of the General Specifications for Overhaul of Surface Ships, surface preparation and painting shall be in accordance with Naval Ship's Technical Manual, NAVSEA S9086-VD-STM-000 Chapter 631, (NSTM Chapter 631). When NSTM Chapter 631 is referenced in this section, all safety precautions, paint or preservative application procedures, and further documents referenced in NSTM Chapter 631 are hereby invoked. Upon completion of an overhaul or availability, paint work shall be complete and in a serviceable condition. Coated surfaces shall show no film failures; that is, loss of adhesion, blistering, rusting, pinholing, checking, cracking, runs or sags greater than 1 percent of any 100 square feet or as further directed by the Supervisor. The contractor shall furnish the materials required and do repainting, as necessary, to obtain this result. Where a primer or epoxy primer is specified herein, it shall be MIL-P-24441, Formula 150. Where powdered coatings are specified, it shall be either type I or type IV per Mil-C-24712 as defined by NSTM Chapter 631 Where film thickness is specified it shall be Dry Film Thickness (DFT), except as may otherwise be noted in this section. Where the word "blast" or a derivative thereof is specified without other specific instructions as to the degree of surface preparation required, it shall be a near-white metal blast (SSPC-SP 10) as defined by NSTM Chapter 631. 631c. Materials Materials shall conform to the formulas and specifications listed in Naval Ship's Technical Manual, NAVSEA S9086-VD-STM-000 Chapter 631 (NSTM Chapter 631). The contractor shall furnish the materials and shall certify that the paints to be used conform to the applicable specification requirements. Coatings selected for repainting shall be compatible with existing coatings. The contractor shall provide certification to the Supervisor, no later than 30 days before application, that paints to be used conform to the applicable specification requirements and applicable NAVSEA-approved lists. 631d. Applications A minimum of two coats shall be applied to satisfy all requirements for minimum film thickness except where one coat is specifically permitted. Unless otherwise specified, after the first coat has been applied, subsequent coats shall not be applied until the preceding coat has become properly dry to recoat. The dry film shall be free of surface contaminants including moisture. Before the application of any coat, all bare spots on the preceding coat shall be "touched-up." Touch-up, where practicable in the judgment of the Supervisor, shall be used in lieu of complete repainting. A full "dress-up" coat is not classified as touch-up. Where repairs are made and completed by welding, burning, chipping or grinding, the effected areas are to be touched-up with paint to match the surrounding area in accordance with NSTM Chapter 631. Where specifications require bare steel, surfaces shall be coated with rust-preventive compound, Mil. Spec. MIL-C-16173, grade 2 or conforming to NATO Code C-620 to provide temporary protection for weather-exposed surfaces. This coating shall be renewed, as necessary, to provide continued protection. Prior to delivery, the temporary coating shall be removed from those surfaces where its continued existence may cause subsequent contamination. 631e. Surface Preparation (Metal, Plastic and Wood) Surface preparation shall be as specified in NSTM Chapter 631 or as further directed in this or other sections herein. Priming coats shall be applied as soon as practicable after surface preparation, but in no instance longer than 24 hours. All surfaces shall receive at least one priming coat after surface preparation. Exterior surfaces shall also receive a complete second coat of primer, where specified. As an alternate method, bilge surfaces may be citric acid cleaned in lieu of the requirements of NSTM Chapter 631. The Contractor shall submit a written procedure for accomplishing this task to the Supervisor for approval 10 working days prior to commencing work. To alleviate the possible recontamination of cleaned bilge surfaces, where practical, the Supervisor shall block a time segment during the overhaul in which no other work is being done in the compartment in which the bilge's are to be worked. This method of blocking time segments for painting should be attempted by the Supervisor for all large painting repairs such as tanks, voids and flight decks. Precautions shall be taken to protect machinery, equipment and structure from abrasive damage, and to prevent contamination and spread of abrasive and dust. The Supervisor may substitute walnut shell blasting for use on all types of surfaces (e.g., steel, aluminum, plastic, wood) at his discretion, except in confined spaces and as prohibited by NAVSEAINST 9210.36. Pickling steel which is to be galvanized (see Section 632) shall not be immersed in the rust inhibiting solution.

For aluminum surfaces which require abrasive blasting prior to painting, the surfaces should be blasted with aluminum oxide grit or garnet grit. If aluminum oxide and garnet are not available, the Supervisor may authorize light abrasive blasting with chilled steel shot or grit. If the surfaces are in a fit-for-use condition, such as new plates with primer coats, blasting may be eliminated and the surfaces only solvent wiped to remove surface contamination prior to painting. Pickling - Steel shall be handled on edge and shall not be laid flat. The pickling procedure shall comply with NSTM Chapter 631. 631f. Pre-treatment and Priming (Metal and Plastic) Pre-treatment and priming coats shall be applied as soon as practicable after surface preparation, but in no instance longer than 24 hours. Formula 84D may be used in lieu of Formula 84 to provide color contrast. Primers shall be applied to a minimum dry film thickness of 1 mil. Ungalvanized steel - Pickled steel shall be painted with one coat of alkyd primer, Formula 84, or other quick-drying primer. Pre-treatment Formula 117 may be applied in lieu of the rust-inhibiting bath. Formula 117, if used, shall be applied as soon as practicable after removal from water rinse bath. Steel cleaned by any method other than pickling shall receive one coat of Formula 150 or one coat of Formula 84. Areas which become bare or show rust shall be cleaned and reprimed prior to fabrication, as is necessary to attain plates in a fit-for-use condition. Where automatic blasting and painting equipment is used, a NAVSEA approved quick-drying primer, demonstrating equivalent corrosion-resistance and satisfactory performance as an undercoat, may be used in lieu of the above two-coat method. Formula 84 or 150 may be used for touch-up maintenance of the respective coating. Pre-construction primer, after-pickling primer or after-blasting primer, if sound and intact, may be considered as one coat of primer for interior applications. For bilge's, voids, tanks, underwater hull, and exterior surfaces, these primers shall be removed by abrasive blasting prior to application of the primer of the specified coating system. Steel intended for locations where the first paint coat is Formula 84 may be primed with the first coat of the paint system to be used and shall be maintained with that primer. Where specifications require bare steel, the steel surfaces shall be coated with rust-preventive compound, Mil. Spec. MIL-C-16173, grade 2, in lieu of Formula 84 or any other primer or paint, before erection, to provide temporary protection for weather exposed surfaces. This coating shall be renewed as necessary for continued protection until structural work is enclosed from the weather. This coating shall be removed prior to putting the components, system or the ship into service. During construction, areas which become bare or show rust shall be cleaned and one coat of primer applied. Where welding has been completed, one coat of original primer shall be reapplied. The original priming coat, touched-up as required, shall constitute the first coat of primer where one or more coats are specified. All interior surfaces shall receive at least one priming coat. Exterior surfaces shall receive a complete second coat of primer, except where an inorganic zinc or epoxy type coatings are specified. Edges, rivet heads, weld and other protruding objects shall be given an additional coat of primer. For exterior topside coatings on surface ships, see paragraph 631h. Faying surfaces (steel) - Before being riveted or welded, the upper surface of the lower course, the under surface of the upper course, and both surfaces of intermediate courses of plating or other structure shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with rust-preventive compound, Mil. Spec. MIL-C-11796, type B, except that two coats of primer, Formula 150, shall be applied in those instances where the welding procedure causes the rust-preventive compound to flow into the joint being welded. Nonwelded faying surfaces shall receive two coats of primer, Formula 150, on each surface in addition to gaskets or other water and oil stops (see Section 100) which may be required by applicable drawings. Faying surfaces in freshwater and oil tanks shall not be painted, but intact after pickling primer may be retained. Plastic surfaces (where painting is required to provide correct color) - In order to remove residual mold release compounds, glass-reinforced or other plastic surfaces shall be washed with a mixture of water and liquid detergent cleaner, Mil. Spec. MIL-D-16791, type I, then rinsed with freshwater, then wiped with xylene, Fed. Spec. TT-X-916. After washing, the surface shall be lightly abraded in such a way that the surface is only slightly roughened, and the glass underlay is not exposed. Dust shall be removed before painting. Surfaces to be painted shall receive one coat of Formula 150. Where constructed of galvanized steel, the following surfaces shall not be painted unless they abut painted surfaces and painting is desirable for appearance: - Bins, gratings, lockers, shelving and miscellaneous fittings in storerooms - Gratings, ladders, rails, and upper surfaces of floor plates in machinery spaces - Unless otherwise specified herein, internal surfaces of ventilation ducts.

Zinc anodes shall be installed to reduce electrolytic corrosion of appendages and fittings where dissimilar metals are used or where dezincification may impair the structural strength of the underwater components. Anodes shall be installed by welding to protected fittings or by attachment to the hull and connecting with positive metallic contact to the fittings to be protected as shown on drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 805-921865. Anodes for struts shall be attached to the strut palm or a positive electrical contact to the strut palm made by flat bar of a composition similar to the protected metal. Anodes on rudders shall be located outside of the propeller flow, insofar as practicable. One type ZHB zinc anode, Mil. Spec. MIL-A-18001 (6 by 12 by 1 1/4 inches) shall be installed for each 25 square feet of underwater metal area. A minimum of one anode per rudder face, strut face or sea chest shall be used. Skegs, where used and in metallic contact with a protected fitting, shall be considered a part of the fitting. For areas too small for a 6 by 12 by 1 1/4-inch anode, this size may be cut in half to form a 6 by 6 by 1 1/4-inch anode. Aluminum Hulls Zinc anodes shall conform to Mil. Spec. MIL-A-18001 and shall be installed in accordance with drawing, NAVSHIPS No. 805-921865, unless otherwise specified. Two-year protection - Zinc anodes shall be installed on the hull over a complete hull anticorrosive coating system. Anodes shall be installed long axis fore-and-aft and butted end to end in locations where more than one anode is installed. Anode attachment studs shall be welded to doubler plates if the hull thickness is not adequate to support the anode. If three or less type ZHC-23 anodes are required, four type ZTS or two type ZSS anodes may be substituted for each type ZHC-23 anode required. The type ZTS anode shall be modified for stud attachment by drilling a 3/8-inch hole centered 1/2 inch from each core end. The quantity of hull type ZHC-23 anodes (6 by 12 by 1 1/4 inches) shall be calculated from the formula:

N=

6.5W 1000

N = Number of type ZHC-23 anodes required W = Wetted surface area (sq. ft.) Location and distribution of hull anodes: Stern area - Forty percent of the hull anodes shall be installed in the stern area in locations not interfering with the struts, propellers, propeller shafts, rudders or high-velocity waterflow. Anodes shall be installed equally divided, port and starboard, on the hull adjacent to the propellers in locations always submerged when the ship is not moving. Where high-velocity water flow prevents installation adjacent to the propellers, the type ZHC-23 or ZHS-23 anodes shall be installed on the transom. Midship and forward area - The remainder of the anodes shall be installed in the midships and forward area in locations always submerged (ship at rest and light load condition), and if possible, out of high-velocity water flow. To avoid high-velocity water paths of planing ships, anodes shall be installed ahead of midships in areas which rise out of the water under high speed conditions, but are submerged under light load rest conditions. For weight-critical installations on planing ships, 1/2 of the anodes intended for the midships area shall be installed on the transom. Steel Hulls All surface ships not protected by an impressed current system shall be protected by zinc anodes. The number of zinc anodes required for underwater hull protection is determined from the wetted surface area by the following formula:

S N = 100 N = Number of zinc anodes required Type ZHC-23, ZHC-47, ZHS-23 or ZHS-47 S = Wetted surface area (sq. ft.)

Location and distribution of hull anodes: Stern area. - Same as for aluminum hulls. Midship and forward area. - Same as for aluminum hulls. 633e. Temporary Cathodic Protection Systems Temporary cathodic protection (C/P) systems are not permanently installed and are designed for dockside use only. Either sacrificial anodes or impressed current cathodic protection systems are acceptable for temporary use. The following criteria should be used as guidance for implementing temporary cathodic protection when necessary. Sacrificial anode C/P may be utilized by attaching a heavy gauge electrical cable to a sacrificial anode and suspending the anode in the water, per NSTM NAVSEA S9086-BS-STM-000/CH 050. It is critical that a low resistance bond between the anode lead and the ship hull be maintained. When the anode is in the water it should not contact the underwater hull or rest on the bottom mud or other surface. The quantity, location, and distribution of anodes around the hull should be determined for the particular ship class and approved by NAVSEA. The objective of the system design is to maintain a hull potential of negative 850 millivolts (mV). Two consecutive readings outside the negative 0.75-0.95 volt range shall be cause to take corrective action to reestablish 0.85 plus or minus 0.05 volt. The negative 850 mV (silver/silver chloride reference) will prevent excessive corrosion of underwater hull areas. Sacrificial anode systems are acceptable for up to three months. In conjunction with sacrificial anodes, a hull potential survey must be completed twice per week and not on the same or consecutive days. The survey shall consist of at least one measurement point port and starboard for every 60 feet in ship length. These measurements shall be accomplished utilizing a silver/silver chloride portable reference cell and include one set of measurements as far aft as possible. Measurements shall be taken at points as far from anode sites as possible. The standard depth for surveys shall be between 10 and 15 feet below the waterline, and shall be recorded. A copy of the record shall be given to the ship electrical officer for filing with the NAVSEA Form 9633. Automatic control temporary ICCP system shall include power supply, controller, reference electrode, anodes, and cabling as described in NSTM NAVSEA S9086-BS-STM-000/CH 050. These components are temporarily installed in lieu of an operational ICCP system or full hull zinc anode system. This system provides C/P to the underwater hull by responding automatically to the changing conditions of the underwater hull environment. Power supply, controller, and reference readings shall be recorded weekly, and a monthly hull potential survey shall be completed. All measurements shall be recorded on the ship ICCP Log (Navsea Form 9633) for monthly review by the appropriate naval activity, usually SUPSHIPS, NAVSSES (Philadelphia) or NAVSEA. When the hull potential measurement at any location becomes less negative than minus 750 mV (i.e. minus 650 mV), versus a standard silver/silver chloride reference cell, the measurement shall be repeated in 12 to 24 hours. If the second measurement is also less negative than minus 750 mV, corrective action should be initiated. This action may include determination of electrical continuity, additional sacrificial anodes, redistribution of anodes and reference electrodes, or mitigation of stray current sources. Reading more negative than negative 0.95 volt shall be cause to initiate redistribution or reduction of cathodic protection. All temporary cathodic protection system designs must be approved by NAVSEA 05M, otherwise the shipboard ICCP or full hull sacrificial anode system must be installed and protecting the hull within 15 days of the ship being waterborne. 633f. Technical Documentation The requirements for technical documentation relating to the SHIPALT development process are specified in Section 085. Other technical documentation requirements related to overhaul are specified in Section 800. 633g. Inoperative Cathodic Protection Systems During overhaul periods, the overhaul activity shall schedule work on water borne hulls so that the hulls are not without cathodic protection for a period greater than 15 days during any phase of the overhaul. If this condition cannot be met, the overhaul activity shall install a temporary cathodic protection system to protect the ship from accelerated or stray current corrosion.

633h. Inspection and Repair Automatic impressed current systems. - An operational check and inspection shall be performed, including reviewing ships cathodic protection logs, prior to ships overhaul to determine extent of repairs required to magnetic controller and saturable reactor power supplies. If the visual examination of shields shows signs of deterioration or calcareous deposits, indicating the shield has failed at that point, they shall be repaired and returned to the original specifications. Visually inspect anodes and reference cells for damage and loose or missing mounting bolt hole epoxy filler. Newly installed anodes shall have a minimum of one megohm resistance between ground (ships hull) and the anode cable lead. Anodes that have been in service shall have a minimum of 0.001 megohm resistance. Reference cells shall have a minimum of one megohm resistance. Anodes shall be replaced if damaged, or if 25 percent or more platinum is missing from electrode rods. Reference cells shall be replaced if damaged and shall be refurbished in accordance with NAVSEA Technical Manual 0901-LP-190-0002 at the 5 to 7 year period. On ships being overhauled a visual inspection of the shaft grounding slip rings and brush rigging assembly shall be performed. They shall be refurbished in accordance with NAVSEA Technical Manual 0901-LP-190-0002. A tinned, braided, copper grounding strap (at least 1 1/2 inches wide) shall be welded to the rudder or stabilizer fin stock. On ships being overhauled a visual inspection of the ground straps and welds shall be performed and repairs made as necessary. Anodes and electrodes shall be masked or otherwise protected during painting or abrasive blasting. Zinc Anodes - Upon entering drydock the ship shall be inspected to determine the need for anode replacement. Anodes shall be renewed when they will not last until the next scheduled or anticipated maintenance period involving a drydocking of the ship. As a general criteria, anodes should always be replaced during an interim drydocking in accordance with Table II.

In replacing zinc anodes, care shall be taken to ensure that an adequate coating exists between the anode and the hull. If the hull coating where the anode is to be located is satisfactory, the anode may be installed over this. The straps and welds or studs shall then be either touch-up painted or coated with the remainder of the hull after anode masking. If the hull coating under the anode is unsatisfactory, the area shall be painted in a manner similar to that provided on the hull, prior to installing a new anode. 633i. Testing Requirements The automatic impressed current cathodic protection system shall have insulation resistance tests performed on anodes, reference electrodes, and interconnecting cables in accordance with Section 300. Systems shall be activated in accordance with manufacturer's instructions and maintained as soon as practicable after the ship is water borne. With the ship in the water, the cathodic protection system shall be tested to ensure that control of the hull potential on automatic settings are met, and current output capability on manual control is demonstrated. General requirements for shipboard tests and ship trials are specified in Sections 092 and 094.

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 636 HULL DAMPING 636a. Scope This section contains processes and procedures relative to installation and replacement of vibration damping material removed or damaged incidental to accomplishment of work items during overhaul. 636b. General Vibration damping material shall be installed or replaced in areas specified herein only if required by the Supervisor's specifications or if removed or damaged as a result of other work. The damping treatment will vary depending on the thickness of the steel being damped, and the operating temperature. Where interferences such as panel area shall be damped, and the total area shall have a minimum of 80% average coverage. It is not necessary to fit tiles closer than one inch next to reinforcing stiffeners or to apply damping material over areas with underlying stiffeners. Constraining layers and damping tiles shall be preformed, if necessary, to provide intimate contact with the surface to be damped. All damping treatments are susceptible to destruction and damage by heat. No burning or welding shall be performed near such installations without first removing and damping material in way of the heated plate, and covering the damping material in the vicinity with glass cloth blankets in accordance with MIL-C-24576 or equal, as protection from weld spatter. Damping materials shall not be installed in the following areas: 1. To curved surfaces having a radius of 18 inches or less. 2. To either side of a structure in way of lead ballast, bulkheads or decks with lead shielding, and filled voids. 3. To the underside of the deck areas that are covered with ceramic tiles or trowel-on deck covering on the top side. 4. Where the panel to be damped is less than 3 inches wide or 64-square inches in area. 5. On webs of channel, T and I-beams and sides of angle bars and structural tubes where the width of the tile would be less than 3 inches, or distance between supports or boundaries is less than 1 foot. 6. Where constraining layer width would be less than 3 inches. 7. In reactor compartments. 8. In way of zinc protectors. 9. The interior of potable water tanks, sanitary tanks, bilge collecting tanks, hydraulic oil tanks, and lubricating oil tanks. Where damping of such tanks is required, the damping treatment shall be installed only on the outside of the tank, but still within the hull of the ship. 636c. Materials Areas requiring installation or replacement of the damping material shall receive the Type II or III damping treatment specified in MIL-STD-2148. The damping tile shall conform to Mil. Spec. MIL-P-23653 or MIL-P-22581 respectively. The Type I felt or septum treatment is regarded as obsolete and shall be replaced by Type II damping tile when repair or replacement is required. Type IV damping material is no longer used and shall be replaced by Type III damping tile when repair or replacement is required. None of the damping materials specified shall be used where temperature would exceed 200oF. Materials for installing the tile shall be in accordance with the requirements for Type II or III tiles as found in MIL-STD-2148, as appropriate. 636d. Application Specific areas to be damped, along with the type and quantities of damping materials to be installed, are delineated in individual ship specifications or in detail drawings. In the absence of these specific details, the following guidelines describe

1

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

Section 636

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

the general areas of usage and the considerations governing the use of damping materials. Areas indicated herein, to be damped apply to new installations and are not intended for the upgrading of existing ships. Areas to be damped - vibration damping shall be installed in the following areas: 1. Hull, frames, longitudinal stiffeners, and keel - Damping material shall be installed on the inboard side of the shell plating, below the waterline, on one side of webs or frames, one side of longitudinal stiffeners, and on the top and one side of the keel in areas specified below. If the structures to be damped are in the vicinity of the sonar dome, Type III plastic tiles, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-22581 shall be used. The fore and aft distance from the sonar dome to which structures shall be damped depends on the location of the sonar dome and the distribution of machinery in spaces above the dome. When the dome is located at the bow of the ship, damping material shall be installed above the dome and to at least the first watertight bulkhead aft of the dome. If the dome is positioned aft of the bow, damping material shall be installed to at least the first watertight bulkheads fore and aft of the dome. A single layer of Type III plastic tiles is to be installed on steel plate up to 1/2 inch in thickness; two layers of Type III plastic tile are to be installed to plates of greater thickness. If the structure to be damped is in or near machinery spaces, Type II, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-23653, tiles shall be used. The weight of Type II tile to be installed for various thicknesses of steel plate to be damped shall be in accordance with Table II. Selection of the class of Type II tile to be installed is based on operating temperature and constraining layer requirements, if any, and shall be in accordance with Tables I and III. 2. Bulkheads and platform decks - Within the space limits delineated in paragraph l above, damping materials shall be installed on one side of all bulkheads and on the underside of platform decks, except decks that have ceramic tile or trowel-on deck covering on the top side. Type II, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-23653, tiles shall be used in or near machinery spaces. Type III, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-22581, tiles shall be used in the vicinity of sonar domes. 3. Machinery foundations - Damping materials shall be installed on one side of all foundation members, located in the vicinity of sonar domes, which can impart vibration energy to the hull. Type III, MIL-P-22581, plastic tiles are normally installed on steel structure up to 11/16 inch in thickness. For foundations of greater thickness, constrained Type II, MIL-P-23653, tiles shall be installed in accordance with Tables II and III. Damping material shall also be installed on one side of selected machinery foundation members located within machinery spaces as outlined in individual ship specifications. Type II, Class 2 tiles are normally installed in these areas. For areas which operate at temperatures above ambient room temperature, such as the reduction gear foundation, Type II, Class 3 tiles shall be used. 4. Fuel and salt water tanks - Damping material shall be installed on one side of the boundaries of fuel and salt water tanks located within the vicinity of sonar domes. Where practicable, damping materials shall be installed on the dry side of the tank boundaries. Type III plastic tiles, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-22581, are installed on these structures. Damping material shall not be installed inside aviation fuel, lubricating oil, or hydraulic system tanks. It is permissible to install Type III damping tiles inside tanks containing diesel fuel, distillate fuel, Navy special fuel oil, or salt water, provided they are protected from deterioration due to immersion in the liquids, with coating conforming to Mil. Spec. MIL-P-24441. (Two coats of formula 151 and one coat of formula 152 or 156 to match the surrounding area or the color specified for the compartment with a minimum total paint thickness of 8 mils shall be used.) A single layer of Type III tiles shall be installed on steel plate up to 1/2 inch in thickness; two layers of Type III tile shall be installed on plates of greater thickness. Type II, Mil. Spec. MIL-P-23653, tiles shall be installed on boundaries of these tanks when they are located in machinery areas. Type II tiles do not require protection against immersion. 5. Sonar domes - Damping and special acoustic materials shall be installed on specified interior surfaces of sonar domes. The type and extent of materials to be applied normally are contained in individual ship specifications. Volumes I through IV of the NAVSEA publication "Sonar Dome Handbook" provide guidance on areas to be covered and on installation procedures. These handbooks are tailored to specific sonar types as follows: Vol I, AN/SQS-4 SERIES and AN/SQS-23 SONAR DOMES (NAVSHIPS 0967-412-3010) Vol II, AN/SQS-26 STEEL AND RUBBER SONAR DOMES (NAVSEA 0967-LP-412-3020) - (For AN/SQS-26 and AN/SQS-53 sonar) Vol III, AN/SQS-38 GRP SONAR DOMES (NAVSEA 0967-LP-412-3030) Vol IV, AN/SQQ-23 RUBBER SONAR DOMES (NAVSEA 0967-LP-412-3040)

GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OVERHAUL OF SURFACE SHIPS (GSO) DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY NAVAL SEA SYSTEMS COMMAND SECTION 644 PLUMBING FIXTURES AND FITTINGS 644a. Scope This section contains requirements relative to the overhaul modification or new installation of plumbing fixtures and fittings and associated piping. 644b. General Plumbing fixtures renewed or installed during the overhaul shall be compatible with existing fixtures. The materials, methods of fabrication, and installation details of replaced or repaired portions of plumbing fixtures and fittings shall be based on the applicable ships system diagram as qualified by Section 505, and manufacturer's technical manual and instruction. Open-work plumbing shall be installed throughout. Where a hose connection is specified in the potable water system, the installation shall have a hose length, a hose adapter, a short nipple, a vacuum breaker-back flow preventer, and a valve, from downstream to upstream in the order given. The valve shall have a soft seat. Seawater shall not be supplied to any food preparation or scullery spaces except to food waste disposers in sculleries only. Seawater faucets shall be of the plain bibb compression type, except as specified herein, and shall be installed without back flow prevention, unless otherwise specified. New fixtures shall be installed in general accordance with drawings, NAVSEA Nos. 810-1385920 to 1385923 inclusive. Fixtures shall be grouped, where practicable, to reduce the number of piping leads to eliminate penetrations of main subdivision decks and bulkheads below the tightness level. Fixtures shall be placed so as to provide maximum efficiency and optimum functional arrangement. All fixtures with built-in traps shall be installed so that the flow through the trap will be fore and aft. Loose key type cutout valves shall be installed wherever necessary to permit adjustment of water supply. Slow-shutting faucets may be installed if specifically approved. Fastenings of plumbing fixtures to watertight and oiltight structure shall not impair the tightness of structure. Plumbing fixtures shall not be mounted directly on plating which is subject to deflection from gun blast or missile blast. In such locations, fixtures shall be secured to framing which shall be supported on flanges of stiffeners or to stanchions secured at the deck, and arranged for a sliding fit at top, tight enough to prevent rattle. Piping connections to these fixtures shall be flexible enough to prevent localized stresses being induced in fixtures by deflection of structure to which the piping is secured. Fixtures shall be mounted with concussion washers or shock mounts, and shall not be mounted where they will be subject to damage from gun blast or missile blast. Where plumbing drain piping required by the overhaul is installed by piercing watertight bulkheads, valves shall be installed in the piping on both sides of the bulkhead. The bulkhead isolation valves and the included piping shall be tested to bulkhead pressure. Valves shall be provided in hot and cold water supplies to new fixtures, as required, to allow adjustment of flow for control of water hammer and to permit maintenance on faucets. Outfitting of showers shall be in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-S-955. Piping in shower stalls shall be kept to a minimum. Hot water piping shall be insulated in accordance with Section 508. Flushing valves for water closets shall not be located or moved so as to be inaccessible from the stall in which the water closet is located. Sinks equipped with electrical controls and cutouts shall be adequately grounded to prevent electrical shock. 644c. Decontamination Stations Each shower space on the main deck and below shall be designed as a decontamination station. Separate entrance and exit doors, located to minimize interference between incoming and outgoing traffic, shall be provided for the decontamination stations. In addition, shower spaces, preferably below the main deck, shall be provided with water sprinklers supplied from the flushing system, and shall be designated as the Fresh and Seawater Decontamination Stations in accordance with the following: Aircraft carriers: Four fresh and seawater decontamination stations: one forward, one aft, and two amidships (one port and one starboard). Auxiliaries and amphibious types (over 550 feet long) and cruisers: Three stations: one forward, one aft and one amidships. Ships with well: Three stations: one forward and two aft (one port and one starboard). Auxiliaries and amphibious types (between 220 to 550 feet long) and destroyer types: Two stations: one forward and one aft.

Ships under 220 feet long: One station. In addition to the normal potable water shower head, one seawater sprinkler head shall be installed in the overhead of each shower stall in each space designated as a Fresh and Seawater Decontamination Station. The sprinkler heads shall be bronze and have a 1/4 inch orifice, 80 degree deflector, type I, in accordance with Mil. Spec. MIL-H-19387. Piping for seawater sprinkler heads shall be sized to provide a minimum pressure of 25 lb/in at the most remote sprinkler head, while discharging 10 gal/min through each sprinkler head. Seawater supply to the sprinkler heads shall be unheated. A single control valve shall be provided to regulate the flow of seawater to sea water decontamination sprinklers. For decontamination station labeling requirements, see Section 602. 644d. Emergency Deluge Showers A freshwater outlet fitted with a deluge shower head, eye/face bath, and drains shall be installed for personnel protection inside each oxygen/nitrogen producer room, battery-shop, battery locker, boiler shop, rubber and plastic shop, and other non-weapon spaces on tenders and ships employing industrial processes utilizing chemicals that are corrosive or toxic upon contact with the skin or eyes. A deluge shower supplied from a firemain shall be installed in the immediate vicinity of the primary access to liquid (hypergolic, propellant magazines in accordance with the requirements of publication, NAVSEA S9000-AB-GTP-010. A portable bulkhead mounted eyewash unit of 5 gallon minimum capacity shall be provided in the access immediately outside the hypergolic or FAE magazine. Main machinery spaces, medical laboratories, dental laboratories, chemical laboratories, darkrooms, and test laboratories shall be provided with only an eye/face bath; the eye/face bath may be installed in connection with sinks or bubblers located within the spaces. A single shower or eye/face bath facility may be provided where spaces requiring such facilities are contiguous and readily accessible to operating personnel. The shower head shall be in accordance with Fed. Spec. WW-P-541/7, part C, type II. The eye/face bath shall be in accordance with Fed. Spec. WW-P-541/7, part D, type II.

Minor modifications in location necessary to obtain the greatest arcs of train and elevation, proper clearance of ordnance attachments, and minimum interference, may be made as the work develops. The final locations shall be approved by NAVSEA. A clearance of at least 18 inches shall be allowed in locations where a standing man might be crushed between fixed structure and guns, launchers, or other moving projections. Danger circles shall be painted as defined in NAVSEA Publication OP4. Gun, launcher, and director installations shall incorporate the necessary working space indicated on the working circle drawing. Weapons equipment shall be mounted, where practicable, to provide locations for operating personnel, and protection from vibration and shock due to gun blast, missile blast, shell impact, and splinter impact. For requirements for mounting weapons equipment behind ballistic plating, see Section 164. Equipment hold-down fasteners shall be installed, torqued, and manufactured of material specified in the installation drawings and NAVSEA publications. 702c. Weapon System Foundations (New and Modified) Foundations for weapons equipment shall comply with Section 180. Foundations shall be designed to withstand effects of the sea during extreme weather conditions, but it need not be assumed that the mount will be fired at the instant of extreme wave load. Foundations shall be uniformly resilient all around the bolting circle. Hard spots shall be avoided insofar as practicable. Foundation bolting surfaces shall be machined to specified tolerances. Foundations shall be machined only after all welding in the vicinity thereof has been completed, and final machining of the foundations shall be delayed as long as practicable to minimize distortion due to working of adjacent welded ship structure. Where controlled welding procedures are utilized, foundations may be machined prior to installation on ship, this method of installation does not relax any machining tolerances or alignment requirements for the system. Machining of foundations and alignment tolerances shall be compatible with the requirements contained in applicable Combat System Alinement Documentation, see Section 184 . The final condition of contact, for weapons equipment foundations as established by a procedure such as bluing-in, shall be at least 75 percent of the area in bearing.

702d. Pointing and Firing Cutout and Positive Stops (New and Modified) In matters of pointing and firing cutout zones, the Installing Activity shall act in accordance with NAVSEA Instruction 9700.2. Where positive stops for training are required, but are not incorporated in the mount or launcher itself, they shall be built as projections from the deck or other structure. Positive training stops shall be installed, where necessary, to prevent excessive twist of electric cables to gun mounts or launchers and to prevent physical interference of gun barrels or other projections with ship structure at all angles of elevation. The minimum clearance between gun barrel and structure shall be 1/2 caliber or 1 inch, whichever is greater. The minimum nominal clearance of projectiles, rockets, and missiles in flight from ship structure shall be in accordance with current NAVSEA instructions. Training stops will not necessarily prevent the line of fire from intersecting ship structure since where remote controlled gun mounts or launchers are moving out of nonfiring zones, it is desirable to allow some angular travel in which the mount or launcher can become synchronized with the director before a firing zone is reached. Stops shall be installed at the correct radius and obliquity to make contact with the buffer in accordance with the buffer design. Information as to the point of application and maximum force acting on positive stops shall be provided in accordance with NAVSEA Instruction 9700.2. Where contour control devices are installed on gun mounts or rocket or missile launchers to prevent physical interference between gun barrels, launchers, or missiles and fixed structure, the purpose of the positive training stops, in most cases, will be to prevent excessive cable twist. The installing activity shall plot, cut, install, and check non-pointing and non-firing cut-out cams to prevent guns from firing into ship structure, equipment, or outfit. Pointing and firing cut-out cams for missile and rocket launchers shall be provided and installed by the Insatlling Activity in accordance with NAVSEA instruction 9700.2. Liferails, lifelines and stanchions within the firing zones shall be removeable or capable of being folded and secured. 702e. Depression Rails (New and Modified) For manually operated gun mounts that are not equipped with cam type depression stops or firing stop mechanisms, depression rails shall be fitted to prevent firing into ship structure, cranes, masts, and radar antenna, but not lines and supporting rigging. Rails shall be of sufficient strength and shall be attached in such manner as not to be damaged by the sea. If a locking device is not incorporated in the mount itself, a barrel clamp shall be mounted on the depression rail. 702f. Torpedo Tubes (New and Modified) Above Water Torpedo Tubes - Torpedo tube mounts shall be secured to foundations by hold-down bolts with locking devices. Each multiple-barrel torpedo tube mount foundation shall be of adequate strength to withstand the simultaneous firing of any two tubes. Each fixed type single-barrel torpedo tube mount foundation shall be of adequate strength to withstand firing at proof test pressure.

Section 703

S9AA0-AB-GOS-010 2004 Edition

FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY

When rated load is not otherwise specified, the rated load for a particular weapon handling equipment is determined by the combination of weights of the following items, as applicable: Weapon load (a weapon with its handling attachments, protective covers or shields, container, cradle, skid, pod, or any other item which adds to the weight of the weapon being handled). Any additional handling equipment which is not integral with the particular handling equipment or weapon load under consideration (such as slings, strongbacks, hoists on a traveling bridge crane, or dollies on an elevator). Under the equipment operating conditions, the combined stresses, acting both individually and concurrently, in the load bearing structural and mechanical components of the equipment, shall not exceed 35 percent of the yield strength of the material used, calculated on the basis of operating design load. "Operating design load", as used herein, is an equivalent load, consisting of a load equal to the rated load, or its vector component in cases where the equipment is required to move and support weapons at fixed inclined angles, plus the load imposed by the dynamic forces of the ship during equipment operating conditions, plus the load due to acceleration, or deceleration, of the handling equipment. Under the equipment holding conditions, the combined stresses, acting both individually and concurrently, in load bearing structural and mechanical components of the equipment, shall not exceed 70 percent of the yield strength of the material used, calculated on the basis of holding design load. "Holding design load", as used herein, is an equivalent load, consisting of a load equal to the rated load, or its vector component in cases where the equipment is required to move and support weapons at fixed inclined angles, plus the load imposed by the dynamic forces of the ship during equipment holding conditions. Powered handling equipment shall be designed so that under extreme loading conditions (for example, impact, load test, drive motor stall torque, or limits of load limiting devices), the combined stresses shall not exceed 70 percent of the minimum yield strength of the material used in the load bearing mechanical and structural components. In handling equipment utilizing load bearing wire rope or load chain, stresses shall not exceed loading conditions (for example, impact, load test, drive motor stall torque, or limits of load limiting devices), the combined stresses shall not exceed 70 percent of the minimum yield strength of the material used in the load bearing mechanical and structural components. In handling equipment utilizing load bearing wire rope or load chain, stresses shall not exceed 20 percent of the breaking strength of the load bearing wire rope, and 20 percent of the breaking load of the load chain. Handling equipment shall be designed for FAIL SAFE Operation, defined as the ability to maintain the safety of the weapon and the equipment at all times, in such manner that failure of the power source, or of the manual or powered drive mechanism, will not result in damage to the weapon or in uncontrolled movement of the equipment and load. In the event of a power failure, the weapon and the handling mechanism shall become immobilized in a safe mode. The term FAIL SAFE shall not be applied to static components, to members and static parts of mechanisms, or to hydraulic cylinders and air cylinders. These items shall meet criteria specified elsewhere herein. During handling operations, the weapon shall be under positive control, based on the specified handling system design. The term "positive control" is defined as physical restraint to prevent the weapon from becoming disengaged from its handling equipment, or being damaged by striking adjacent structure, fittings, or weapons. This control shall apply throughout any shipboard handling cycle and under both equipment operating and holding conditions. Positive traversing and braking features (such as rack and pinion, sprocket and chain, or hydraulic cylinders) shall be provided for powered traversing handling equipment that does not rely on deck friction for driving or braking. Manual handling equipment which traverses shall have a brake which automatically stops and holds the equipment in position when a brake handle or control is released or is not tended. Track clamps may be used as a "deadman" brake. Guide rails shall be provided for lateral restraint of weapons being handled during vertical movement through trunks, or hatches. While underway, guide wires may be used only for emergency handling equipment. Tag or guide lines shall be provided for emergency handling dockside, at anchorage and over the side. Handling equipment using guide rails over one deck level shall have a mechanical safety device to stop the platform or weapons basket in case of wire rope or chain failure. This device is not required for emergency handling equipment. Weapons hoisting equipment operating within the confines of one deck level shall be provided with lateral restraining features, such as telescopic guides, with the following exceptions: Where handling operations will not be performed in excess of 10-degrees roll or list (3-degrees roll or pitch on tenders); or Where specified due to significant loss of stowage density or equipment portability is an overriding consideration; or Where system has been designed for personnel to prevent swaying of the weapon load. Powered handling equipment, except for drive trains powered by hydraulic cylinders or air cylinders, shall be provided with a mechanical brake in the drive train which shall be automatically engaged when the drive train power actuating control is in the "off" position. Hydraulic and air cylinders shall use holding valves and positive pressure.

Powered handling equipment, except forklift trucks, wire rope elevators, and specially exempted equipment, shall be provided with means for manual operation, at reduced speed, in the event of power or control failure. Over the side handling equipment shall be provided with a means to lower the load in the event of a power or control failure. Powered lifting or hoisting devices shall be "power up" and "power down", and at no time during normal operations shall the load be disconnected from the drive device. Hydraulic and air lifting cylinders, which lower the weapon load by opening a valve to permit hydraulic fluid or air pressure to drain off, are acceptable, provided suitable flow control devices are incorporated in the system to limit maximum velocities to avoid damage to weapon and equipment. Handling equipment shall provide self-alining features such as floating, funneling, or camming action. These features shall ensure that the weapon or mating equipment can be engaged by the handling equipment even though there is misalignment. The degree of self-alignment required shall be determined by the system design. Alinement features shall allow for maximum cumulative tolerances from the required load center position and axis. Where more than one type of motion applies, and more than one corrective feature is necessary, the tolerances are additive. Hand and load chains on hoists shall be of material which resists corrosion. Overhead monorail or bi-rail track systems and trolley hoists shall be provided, where specified, for transporting weapons that cannot be man-handled. The tracks shall consist of I-beam sections for a monorail system, and shall include portable sections, hinged sections, switches, and turntables, as required. The radius of curvature of the monorails shall not be less than specified in the reference specifications for the trolley hoists that the tracks will support. The tracks shall be installed as high as possible in the overhead. Handling equipment on tracks, such as bridge cranes, monorail hoists, and bi-rail track systems, shall have a positive mechanical stop at each extreme limit of the equipment's range of travel. Automatic safety stops shall be provided at other locations, where required, to prevent the equipment from accidentally moving off an open section of track. No damage to the load or the equipment shall occur if the equipment strikes a stop at maximum operating speed. Where two pieces of handling equipment operate on the same track or rail, one or both shall be provided with a bumper type device to prevent damage, should they collide. On manually controlled powered systems, the bumpers shall prevent damage, based on the maximum speed obtained by one piece of equipment. On automatic or semi-automatic powered systems, the bumpers shall prevent damage based on the maximum speed obtained by both pieces of equipment added together. Traversing hoists, bridge cranes, and all track-guided handling equipment, in the unloaded condition, shall be secured for the maximum dynamic forces produced by motion of the ship. A container shall be provided on hoists for stowage of the load chain. Hoists shall be provided with all required adapters necessary to perform the required handling operations. Hoisting equipment requiring load hooks shall be equipped with safety devices in accordance with A-A-50472 or A-A-50469. Unless otherwise specified, the design of drums and sheaves for wire rope installations shall be in accordance with publication, NAVSEA 0900-LP-008-2010. The size of wire rope shall be determined by the method described therein, based on the maximum total stress acting on the rope, except that safety factors used shall be as specified herein.
