FOREWORD
The Oil Industry in India is nearly 100 years old. Due to
various collaboration agreements, a variety of international
codes, standards and practices have been in vogue.
Standardisation in design philosophies and operating and
maintenance practices at a national level was hardly in
existence. This, coupled with feed back from some very serious
accidents that occurred in India and abroad, emphasized the
need for the industry to review the existing state of art in
designing, operating and maintaining oil and gas installations.
With this in view, the then Ministry of Petroleum &
Natural Gas, in 1986, constituted a Safety Council assisted by
Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD), staffed from within the
industry, in formulating and implementing a series of self
regulatory measures aimed at removing obsolescence,
standardising and upgrading the existing standards to ensure
safer operations. Accordingly, OISD constituted a number of
Functional Committees comprising of experts nominated from
the industry to draw up standards and guidelines on various
subjects.
The present document on History recording of Rotating
Equipment has been prepared by the Functional Committee on
Inspection of Rotating Equipment. This document is based on
the accumulated knowledge and experience of industry
members and the various national and international codes and
practices. It is hoped that the provisions of this document, when
adopted may go a long way to improve the safety and reduce
accidents in oil and gas industry. Users are cautioned that no
standard can be a substitute for the judgement of a responsible
qualified inspection Engineer. Suggestions are invited from the
users, after it is put into practice, to improve the document
further.
Suggestions for amendments to this document should
be addressed to:
The Co-ordinator,
Committee on
Inspection of Rotating Equipment,

HISTORY RECORDING OF ROTATING EQUIPMENT

1.0

INTRODUCTION

A systematic history recording is

essential for proper maintenance of any
rotating equipment. Preventive maintenance
schedules and the predictive maintenance
programme all depend on the behaviour of
the machine. Considering these facts each
equipment shall have one history folder.
2.0

SCOPE

This section covers the procedures that shall

be followed for maintaining the history of
various rotating equipment.
3.0

CONTENTS OF HISTORY
FOLDER

Irrespective of the type of equipment the

history folder shall contain the following
details:
a. Complete specification sheet of the
equipment
b. Characteristic curves
c. Maintenance schedules
d. Standard clearance chart with the
maximum and minimum limits.
e. Maintenance history sheets
f. Breakdown analysis sheets
g. Vibration and shock pulse measurement
long
h. Complete spare part list with store code.
The detailed description about the history
folder and its contents are given below:
3.1

History Folder

Each equipment shall have one separate

folder i.e., if one equipment has got a spare,
the history of each machine shall be
maintained separately.
3.2

Specification Sheets

The specification sheet is intended to

provide the primary details required for the
day to day maintenance of equipment.
Standard specification sheets for this
purpose for various equipment is given in
Annexure-III. In addition to the specification
sheet in Annexure-III, detailed data shall be
maintained using the forms given in
respective API standards for the following:
a. Cengtrifugal compressors -

API-617

b.
c.
d.
e.
3.3

Reciprocating compressors
Centrifugal Pumps
Reciprocating Pumps
Steam Turbine

API-618
API-610
API-674
API-611
API-612

Characteristic Curves

The characteristic curves are supplied along

with the equipment. Copy of these curves
should be available in the history book.
These curves will be required for various
trouble shooting jobs.
3.4

History Sheets

Standard history sheet common for all

equipment is given in Annexure-I. Various
maintenance jobs carried out on the
equipment, however, small shall be entered
in the history sheet. The section details of
jobs of history sheet should be filled up in
three paragraphs. In the first para with the
sub-heading-reason
for
maintenance,
second para with the sub-heading-defects
observed, third para with the sub-headingaction taken. In the para action taken,
complete details of the job undertaken
alongwith the various measurements taken
and clearances kept shall be clearly
recorded.
3.5

Breakdown Analysis Form

In order to avoid repeated failures

all breakdowns shall be carefully analysed.
Standard breakdown analysis form is given
in Annexure-II. Breakdown analysis form is
to be filled by the Engineer supervising the
jobs.
3.6

Vibration log

Vibration readings of all machines

should be taken as per the frequency
mentioned in the respective standards.
These readings are to be filled in the
standard proforma given in Annexure-IV.
Separate proforma in Annexure-V shall be
used for vibration analysis.

3.7

Shock pulse measurement long

Shock pulse measurement reading

of all machines should be taken as per the

frequency mentioned in the respective

standards. Readings are to be filled in the
standard proforma given in Annexure-VI.
3.8

Spare part list

The spare parts list should contain the

complete spare part requirement of the
machine along with store code number.

3.9

Maintenance schedules

Maintenance schedules for the equipment

should be available in the history sheet so
as to ensure that the schedules are
maintained.
