Turner Hydraulic Site Services Ltd received oil sample(s) from Celsa Manufacturing (UK) for us to carry out a particle count and a patch test with photographic evidence. Test Programme The test equipment used for the particle count measurement was a HYDAC FCU 2110. The patch tests are carried out using the ISO 4406 standard test amount of 100ml drawn through a 1.2 micron membrane and the resulting membrane mounted in a petri slide and viewed under a video linked high resolution microscope. The high resolution mavigraph photographs are taken from the patch test membranes and are at x10 and x100 magnification. Analysis and Instrument Parameters Particle distribution measurement according to ISO/DIS 11500. Instrument: Particle counter with laserdiode sensor calibrated to ISO 4402 with ISOMTD. Results Introduction

Results Celsa UK and McLellan & Partners Limited employed Turner Hydraulic Group at short notice to flush the entire hydraulic system for the new Celsa UK Melt Shop. This involved the following systems:
Our Equipment list used was as follows:
All work was completed to ISO Level 15/13/10 on Water Glycol Fluid and the plant started up with no Filtration related issues. All the above work was over seen by DEMAG and allowed the complete sign of the hydraulic systems. After completion we were requested to flush the water cooling system as a result of our efforts. Scope of work:
Design and build hydraulic ring main (fixed steel welded tube) for the distribution of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic power units on the ground floor to all hydraulic valve stands and their distribution pipe work to the hydraulic actuators, from ground level to 17 metre level on boilers one and two. All pipe work complied with BS EN 13480 pipe category 'O' was fully welded using socket weld 3000 lb fittings, Tungsten Inert Gas with Argon purge. The system was pressure tested to 200 Bar and then flushed to NAS Class < 3. Identification of Pipelines All hydraulic pipe work was identified using the following colour coding to BS 1710/BS 4800:
The entire pipe is to be painted in the base coat colour and the paint is to be applied using one coat of the appropriate primer followed by two coats of alkyd gloss. Identification banding shall be 100mm wide, and applied at intervals not greater than 2m apart. Banding shall also be placed before and after every bend or offset, at both sides of valves, service appliances, bulkheads, wall penetrations and at any other place where identification is deemed necessary. All quality control paper work was submitted and approved on handover of the system to the client. Additional Work: Turner Hydraulic Group were also commissioned to flush the gas oil pipe work within the plant as an additional undertaking. This MSc in Advanced Dynamics Engineering is based around the ethos and physical environment of BLADE (Bristol Laboratories for Advanced Dynamics Engineering) which is a unique experimental and modelling facility within Europe for understanding engineering systems. Particular emphasis is put on large scale dynamic testing of engineering structures. The programme represents a synergy between expertise in all the traditional engineering disciplines.
As systems become more complex, with the involvement of many interacting components, and as materials are made smarter, the modern engineer needs a thorough understanding of the latest design, optimisation and testing methodologies, which are based on high numbers of degrees of freedom and extensive non-linearity. Through the major research project, and compulsory experimentally-based projects, the students will be given access to the BLADE laboratories to see and try out dynamic testing for themselves. |
