Mounts Flashcards
Why are resilient mounts used on a ship?
To reduce the amount of radiated noise transmitted to the ships hull
What safety precautions must be carried out on equipment before changing mounts?
LOTO procedure
What references can you use for information on changing mounts?
Mounts data manual - MAP 01-473
UMMs job card
What is the process when carrying out mount replacements?
Loosen the mount holding down nuts
Use jacking bolts closest to mount
Replace one mount at a time
What is the correct method of changing mounts?
Replace mounts as a set
Use correct replacement mounts
Machine to be fully supported using jacking bolts
Name 5 types of mounts used in the RN
J
M
L
PD
X
What measurements must be carried out on a mount after installation
The deflection of the mount or clearance of the base plate from seating
When using X mounts what must not be done?
Must not be used in conjunction with any other mounts
Must not be wrapped, taped or covered in anyway
What must mounts not show signs of when supporting machinery?
They must not show any signs of displacement, relative to ships structure
Must not appear spongy or contaminated
Must allow a degree of dampening to prevent excess motion
Once mounts have been replaced what must you allow the machine to do?
If time allows, especially on M mounts and high load X mounts, allow machine to settle for 24 hours and occasionally rock back and forth to allow permanent displacement
During a build or refit, how are mounts protected?
A waxed wrap followed by a water adhesive fabric around them
What is creep?
The tendency of a solid material to move or deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stress
How do you ensure the correct locking of the nuts for each mount
Nyloc nuts are to be fitted. The holding down bolts are to be of sufficient length to fully engage with the nylon element of the locknut, but should not provide through their nuts by more than one thread
What are the correct fitting arrangements for an X mount?
The head of the securing bolt should be fitted from the inner side of the mount
the threads protruding outwards and nylon brushing provided is to be used
What should be fitted to mounts if they are in a hostile environment
Heat and oil shields with a minimum 6 mm clearance
