Engine lube oil survey for S.E.M.T. Pielstick engines (TMF 2005/106 indice 01)
| Property | Method | Unit | Grade | Lower limit | Upper limit |
| Viscosity @40°c | ISO 3104 (ASTM D445) | mm²/s | SAE 30 | 75 | Alarm level = 120 cSt / Rejection = 135 cSt |
| SAE 40 | 108 | Alarm level = 180 cSt / Rejection = 200 cSt | |||
| Viscosity @100°c | SAE 30 | 9 | Alarm level = 13 cSt / Rejection = 14 cSt | ||
| SAE 40 | 12 | Alarm level = 17 cSt / Rejection = 18,5 cSt | |||
| Flash point | ISO 2719 (ASTM D93) | °C | Drop of 50°C with respect to that of fresh oil is alarming / Rejection limit < 150°C | ||
| Water | ISO 3733 (ASTM D95) | % vol. | Alarm level = 0.2% / Rejection = 0.5% | ||
| Pentane Insolubles | ASTM D893/B | % mass | Alarm level = 1.5% / Rejection = 2.5% | ||
| Base Number | ISO 3771 (ASTM D2896) | mgKOH/g | 8 min. if running on distillate DMX (S = 1% max.) | ||
| 15 min. if running on distillates DMA / DMC (S = 2% max.) | |||||
| 20 min. if running on residual fuels RMA10 / RMD15 (S = 4% max.) | |||||
| 25 min. if running on residual fuels RME25 / RML55 (S = 5% max.) | |||||
| Wear & contamination elements | There are no specific limits. These are depending on several factors as fuel quality, running conditions, treatment efficiency, materials used for engine components. It is necessary to plot successive results on a curve and follow its trend to determine if there is an anomaly or no. | ||||
