TESTING AND SUPPLY OF VESSELS
Preparation for acceptance tests
During the construction of the vessel, a permanent technical control products that are intermediate products of bodyworking, assembly and welding, mechanical assembly and other shops. The scope of inspections during construction is regulated by a list of mandatory acceptances, which is compiled jointly by the construction company and the customer. Technical control ends with testing and delivery of the vessel. The purpose of the tests is to check the compliance of the technical and operational characteristics of the vessel with the characteristics specified in the design documentation.
Prior to the start of ship testing, installation of all pipelines, systems of main and auxiliary mechanisms must be completed; room equipment; impermeability tests; installation of ship devices and practical things. All completed during construction. the works included in the list of mandatory acceptances must be formalized with the appropriate documents - certificates signed by the QCD and representatives of the customer.
For the delivery of the vessel to the customer, a commission is appointed, a test batch and a responsible deliverer. The commission includes assistants to the responsible deliverer for hull and electrical parts, a commissioning mechanic, foremen and workers from highly qualified fitters for main and auxiliary mechanisms, ship devices, systems, electrical equipment. The test batch consists of specialists who monitor the operation of individual units during testing. All deviations from normal operating conditions recorded by the test batch are reported to the responsible deliverer or chief mechanic. At the same time, a test log is kept, in which the test results are recorded. The scope and sequence of tests are established by a special program, which is guidance document testing.
The acceptance of the ship is carried out by the acceptance committee, which consists of representatives of the customer and the Register. Prior to the start of testing, the acceptance committee must be presented with a construction contract, a set of drawings of the general arrangement of the vessel, a book of installation certificates, a journal of the weight load of the vessel, a journal of alterations and approvals, acts of bench tests of the main and auxiliary mechanisms and other mechanical equipment, as well as instructions, diagrams, descriptions, equipment forms and passports of instrumentation. After reviewing all the submitted documents, the commission makes a decision on the readiness to perform acceptance tests.
In addition to preparation for testing, the testing period of ships includes the following stages: mooring trials, sea trials, revision, control exit, control trials.
Mooring trials
Mooring trials - a technological stage of acceptance tests, the main purpose of which is to check the quality of the ship's construction, installation and adjustment of equipment; preliminary testing under main load power plant and auxiliary mechanisms; checking the operation of systems and devices that ensure the survivability of the vessel; preparation of the vessel for sea trials.
Prepared for mooring trials special places with sufficient depth, equipped with mooring shore facilities and having a quay of solid construction.
Mooring tests are carried out separately for mechanical, electrical and hull parts. The mechanical part is tested first, starting with emergency systems and mechanisms that ensure the safety of the ship during the testing process ( fire system, flooding and pumping systems). This is followed by testing of auxiliary energy facilities: turbogenerators and diesel generators, auxiliary boilers, evaporators, desalination plants, etc. Tests of the main power plant are carried out last. Ship systems, pipelines, electrical networks, energy and survivability posts are tested simultaneously with the main mechanisms. Before testing the GTZA of a steam turbine plant, the operation of the turning and shaft-braking devices, as well as the forward and reverse movement of the turbines, are checked. In the process of mooring tests of a steam turbine plant, hydraulic tests of pipelines of all systems are carried out, including fuel, fire, steam; check the operation of auxiliary installations (ignition, feed, fuel pumps); oil is pumped through the engine room oil pipeline; produce hydraulic and steam samples of the steam pipelines of the engine room; carry out tests of circulation and condensate pumps, as well as pipelines directly connected to turbines; they check the power and lighting networks and start the turbogenerator, as well as start the GTZA to idle. Then, the operation of the GTZA is checked at a rotation frequency that is permissible according to the conditions of mooring reliability, according to the state of coastal structures and the depth of the water area.
If the main plant on the ship is diesel, then at the beginning of its testing, the serviceability of the turning device, signaling the pressure drop and overheating of the oil, turning off the fuel supply when the speed rises above the permissible one is checked; engine starting qualities and starting air reserves. At the following stages, the operation of the main engines is tested at low and medium speeds. In the presence of an adjustable pitch propeller or special unloading devices, the operation is also checked at full speed corresponding to the running mode.
On the hull part, during mooring tests, the displacement of the vessel is checked by measuring the draft by depth marks, initial stability (by the heeling method), as well as the operation of the anchor, steering, cargo, boat, mooring and towing, rail and tent devices, spars and rigging, outboard ladders, light and sound alarms, searchlights, running lights, bells.
When testing the steering device, the serviceability of the rudder drive, the correct operation of the rudder position indicators and the operation of the limiters are checked. The anchor device is tested by etching and selecting in turn several bows of the anchor chain on the band brake of the capstan or bra-spire with checking the passage of the links of the anchor chain through the hawse, screw stoppers and along the sprocket of the anchor mechanism. In the cargo device, they check the reliability of the operation of the drums and brakes of cargo winches, the reliability of fastening cargo arrows in the stowed position, the convenience of opening and closing the covers of cargo hatches. For the lifeboat device, it is mandatory to check the ease and correctness of the dumping of the boats, measuring the time of launching and lifting the boats, checking the reliability of fastening the boats in the stowed position.
The testing of the hull part also includes checking the operation of the galley, bakery, laundry and other living services on the ship. In addition, the reliability of battening down and impermeability of doors, hatches, covers, portholes, etc. is also tested. Household equipment is also checked: the reliability of its fastening, completeness.
Simulation tests
In the domestic technology of shipbuilding, a fairly large number of simulation tests have been developed, which have found wide application in world practice. Simulation tests are a type of ship commissioning tests, in which the specification parameters of ship equipment are checked during mooring tests in shipyard water area conditions that are as close as possible to natural ones. Simulation tests are carried out using special unloading or loading devices - simulators that reproduce the running conditions of the ship's equipment.
An unloader is a special technological device used for simulation tests of the main power plant. The unloader serves to create easier conditions for the operation of the equipment. So, to unload the propeller against the stop and at the moment up to the calculated ones, a decrease in the area of the propeller disk due to the annular nozzle is used; a flow-directing chamber providing water inflow to the screw at a speed equal to its calculated axial speed; supply of compressed air to the propeller area in order to reduce the density of the water surrounding the propeller. The work of the propeller can also be facilitated by reducing the draft of the vessel and, consequently, by reducing the depth of the propeller.
Load devices create an additional load to check the health of the equipment. For example, when testing diesel generators and turbogenerators, the shore network serves as a load device, where excess electricity is transferred from the ship under test.
Simulation tests of the anchor device on the mooring lines are carried out in several ways: by fixing the anchor chain on the shore when the main engine is operating at design conditions in reverse; hanging loads on the anchor chain section. The most promising method for simulation testing of an anchor device is the method using a universal loader located on a pontoon and representing a hydromechanical brake with remote control. This method has a number of advantages in terms of versatility, independence technological process tests, accuracy of reproduction of natural conditions.
With the help of simulation devices, navigation and radar equipment, a gyrocompass, a hydrodynamic log, and hydroacoustic equipment are also tested.
To adjust the radars, special polygons are arranged, taken out of the plant and equipped with special reflectors. The direction and distance to the reflectors are known. Radar stations detect reflectors, determine course directions and distances to reflectors. The data is compared with the true values and adjusted according to station deviations to the required accuracy in determining the desired parameters.
Hydroacoustic equipment is checked using a measuring device installed under the bottom of the vessel - a hydrophone, which measures the sound pressure of the vibrator of the hydroacoustic apparatus. Based on the measured sound pressure, the range of the hydroacoustic equipment is recalculated.
Simulation tests reduce the duration of the delivery period by about half, allow you to create stable test conditions, improve the quality of testing and reduce the consumption of fuel and energy resources.
Sea trials and delivery of the ship
Sea trials are a technological stage of acceptance tests, the purpose of which is to check the operation of equipment and its parameters in running conditions, as well as to check the ship's seaworthiness (buoyancy, stability, controllability, propulsion, maneuverability, wave strength). Sea trials are divided into factory and acceptance tests.
In the process of factory sea trials, adjustment and adjustment work is carried out and equipment is prepared for sea trials. At factory sea trials, the specification characteristics of the main marine engines are checked in terms of power, fuel and oil consumption, and full power development time. This test is carried out in various operating modes: at economy speed, cruising speed, full and full speed with all engines running, reverse. Simultaneously with the verification of the power plant, the speed and maneuverability of the vessel are determined. The speed is determined when passing the measured line, indicated by leading signs. At a speed of 18 knots, a ship must pass a measuring line of one mile, at a speed of over 18 to 36 knots - two miles, at a speed of over 36 knots - three miles. This achieves sufficient accuracy in determining the speed. The speed is determined as the average value of the measurements on several tacks.
The program of sea trials provides for the determination of the agility of the vessel at low, economic, cruising and full speed. Agility is characterized by circulation elements: circulation diameter (the distance between the lines of reverse courses when changing direction by 180 °), circulation duration, roll angle during circulation, loss of speed. The circulation diameter is determined in terms of the ship's hull lengths. The measurement is made by regular radar stations of the vessel or special equipment.
In the lengths of the hull, the run-out of the vessel by inertia is also determined. When checking inertia, the time from the moment the command is given to the complete stop of the vessel or reaching a certain speed is also determined.
Checking and final acceptance of the equipment during sea trials is carried out on the move of the vessel under conditions that ensure the receipt of nominal parameters. According to requirements normative documents equipment is checked under normal climatic conditions (atmospheric pressure 1.01 * 10 5 Pa, temperature 293 K, relative humidity 70%), with a wind strength of not more than 3 points on the Beaufort scale, taking into account the depth and speed of the current in the test area.
Upon completion of the acceptance sea trials of the vessel, an audit of the main and auxiliary mechanisms and devices is carried out according to the list compiled by the selection committee. The list includes those mechanisms and devices in which shortcomings are noticed. The audit consists in opening these mechanisms and eliminating the shortcomings noticed by the commission.
After the audit, the ship goes to the control exit. If the commission has no more comments, then the certificate of delivery and acceptance of the vessel is signed.

Mooring trials of ships (SHI) is a technological stage of acceptance tests, including Preparation for trials, Mooring trials, Sea trials, Revision, Control exit, Control tests.
Shi is carried out in a sufficient depth of the shipyard water area near the outfitting embankment, equipped with mooring shore facilities, without access to the sea.
The purpose of Shi is to check the quality of ship construction, installation and adjustment of equipment, preliminary testing under load of the main power plant at idle, auxiliary mechanisms, systems and devices that ensure the survivability and safety of the ship, preparing the ship for going to sea for sea trials.
By the beginning of the SI, the ship construction work must be completed to the extent stipulated by the construction certificates.
Checking the main performance indicators of the equipment during the period of SHI and sea trials is carried out according to the methods developed by the Designer for the lead ships and the shipyard - for serial ships.
The methodology provides for the use of non-standard control and measuring equipment, as well as devices with established measurement scale limits and the required accuracy classes to check the parameters and create the required operating conditions for the equipment.

In order to save the motor resource of regular sources of electricity, the electrical equipment is powered from coastal sources of electricity.
Based on the results of mooring trials, the ship's readiness for factory and sea trials is determined.
Factory and sea trials are carried out with the aim of adjusting, adjusting, testing the technical means of the ship, as well as determining the main characteristics of the technical means and the entire ship as a whole.

In order to save material and financial costs for serial ships, acceptance tests are carried out at the wall of the plant without the ship moving using simulation test methods. To do this, simultaneously with mooring and sea trials of technical equipment, their comparative tests are carried out in order to check the compliance of the loads and operating parameters of mechanisms and devices obtained by simulation methods of testing in the water area of the plant with the loads and parameters obtained under the conditions of sea trials carried out on the same vessel. same ship.
Simulation tests of the main ship power plant are carried out on parameters corresponding to the parameters obtained during bench tests of engines. The creation of these parameters on a ship located at the wall of the plant is achieved through the use of an unloading device. Simulation tests of the steering gear are provided using a loading device. Simulation tests of the anchor device are provided by the anchor chain tension method. The test parameters of the steering and anchor devices, in this case, must correspond to the test parameters in running conditions. Checking the anchor device at the working depth of the anchor is carried out at the control exit during the first operational voyage of the vessel.

9.2. ACCEPTANCE TESTING OF VESSELS
Acceptance tests are carried out in two stages: mooring
Tests; sea trials and acceptance.
In order to reduce the labor intensity of work and time for the delivery of ships after construction or repair, GOST 21792-76 allows simulation tests for the main marine diesel engines in running conditions at mooring lines. During simulation tests, mooring and sea trials of the diesel plant are not carried out.
Acceptance tests of the power plant and the ship as a whole are carried out according to the program developed by the designer or the shipyard, agreed and approved in in due course. The tests are supervised by a commission consisting of representatives of the plant, the customer and the USSR Register. The program of acceptance tests defines the tasks, scope and procedure for all stages of testing and acceptance of the ship, establishes a list of documentation to be submitted before each stage of testing, as well as the volume of measured indicators and the range of measuring instruments used, the list of which basically corresponds to that indicated in Table. 9.1. For test modes lasting up to 1 hour, measurements are taken once, over 2 hours - every 2 hours.
Mooring trials are carried out in order to check: the completeness and quality of installation of the main engines and auxiliary units with the mechanisms, systems and devices serving them; compliance of power equipment, systems and devices with technical specifications for delivery, operating instructions and drawings; serviceability of the power and propulsion installations of the vessel; readiness of equipment, systems and devices for sea trials of the ship. Before mooring trials, the commission is presented with: technical specifications for the supply of equipment, maintenance instructions, forms, passports, drawings, descriptions, diagrams and other documentation in accordance with the list of reporting technical documentation, as well as a list of deviations from the approved technical documentation.
Auxiliary power equipment (boiler plant, pumps, separators, compressors, etc.) are checked in operation for their intended purpose. The operating parameters obtained during the tests should not exceed the values specified in the instructions, passports or forms. The modes and duration of their operation, as well as the list of measured parameters, are determined by their purpose and are established by the mooring test program. Mechanisms, systems and devices, the operation of which is not related to the course of the vessel, are finally accepted during mooring trials. Auxiliary DGs are checked both in single and parallel operation. Checking the operation of the main engines is carried out after checking the operability of the mechanisms, systems and devices serving them.
The load of diesel installations during the period of mooring tests in accordance with GOST 21792-76 should change:
For main diesel engines and diesel-geared units operating on a fixed-pitch propeller (FRP), - according to the mooring screw characteristic of the form А^р =, / (");
For main diesel engines and diesel-reduced units operating on a controllable pitch propeller (CVP), - according to the screw characteristic of the form N =.f(n), passing through the rated power mode, or according to the load characteristic of the form N =.f(H / D) when n = const;
For the main and auxiliary diesel engines running on the generator - according to the load characteristic of the form / V - / (L / kr) at n = const.
Mooring tests of diesel installations, the load of which varies according to the screw characteristic, are carried out in the modes indicated in Table. 9.2, according to the load - in the modes indicated in table. 9.3.
Sea trials and acceptance are carried out after the elimination of the comments identified during the period of mooring trials and the execution of technical documentation (tables of measurements, protocols or acts) based on the results of mooring trials. Sea trials are carried out in order to check: the operation of diesel engines on fuel grades provided for by the project documentation; main performance indicators of the power plant; reversible qualities of the main engines and CPPs; running and maneuvering qualities of the vessel.
The modes and duration of sea trials of ships with a change in the load of the main engines according to the screw characteristic are given in Table. 9.4, according to the load - in table. 9.5.
In order to save money and time, sea trials are replaced by simulation ones. Simulation tests in running modes on moorings are carried out for diesel engines powered by a propeller, if the running conditions of the latter and the running propeller characteristic of the diesel engine, passing through the rated power and speed mode, can be reproduced when the vessel is stationary using means or simulation methods . The selected simulation test method should be verified by comparative tests with and without the ship moving. The results of comparative tests shall be approved by the Register, after which the selected method of simulation tests may be extended to the entire series of ships of this type. CRS is used as a simulation tool, which allows you to load the main engine in running modes when the ship is stationary.
Diesel units of serial ships are allowed for simulation tests: after registration of acceptance documentation for the construction (repair) and mooring periods for mechanisms, systems and devices serving diesel; bench or ship run-in; adjustment and testing of the diesel engine in operation in shipboard conditions together with service mechanisms within 1 ... 2 hours to eliminate the identified defects and comments. Simulation tests of diesel installations should be carried out at the load conditions indicated in Table. 9.6.
During the period of simulation tests, the accuracy of reproducing
The howling of the screw characteristic passing through the modes of rated power and speed should be controlled according to the correspondence of the speed and main parameters of the diesel engine to the formulary or passport data obtained during the sea trials.
In view of possible deviations in the technical condition of engines on individual ships after construction or after they are out of repair, control of engine load conditions during simulation tests should be carried out according to a set of indicators, and not according to one of them. So, for the main engine 8 DR 43 / 61-V 1, a set of such indicators is given in Table. 9.7.
During simulation tests, it is necessary to observe the following sequence of reaching the steady state: set the required speed; turn the propeller blades up to 3.5 divisions “forward” according to the remote pitch indicator and record the fuel consumption and exhaust gas temperature in the steady state of the engine. If they are below those indicated in Table. 9.7, then the turn of the CPP blades must be increased. Deviations should not be allowed Notes: 1. For diesel engines of ships with a power of 4000 kW
And above, tests in mode 4 are allowed to be carried out at a torque iio more than 85 nominal. 2. It is allowed to check the operation of the diesel engine in mode S during the period of control tests of the vessel in free water only
But the frequency is rotation.
rotation hour o i given more than +3 power in intermediate modes - ±5. In the modes of rated and maximum loads from -
The power declination must be 5% less than the nominal one.
After completion of running or simulation tests and completion of all checks, provided by the program, carry out a technical inspection and, if necessary, a control opening and inspection of parts and assemblies of the diesel engine and its servicing mechanisms and devices. The list of mechanisms and devices subject to control opening and inspection is determined by the selection committee and agreed with the Register.
Acceptance tests are completed with control tests. which are carried out when the ship is under free water or by the simulation method (as agreed with the representatives of the customer and the Register, depending on the results of the control opening and technical inspection nodes and mechanisms). Control tests are carried out in full speed mode at rated speed and in reverse mode. The duration of the test in full speed mode is: 1 hour for engines with a power of up to 150 kW, 2 hours - from 151 to 4000 kW, 3 hours - above 4000 kW. In reverse mode, the test duration is 0.25 h, regardless of engine power.
The materials obtained during the acceptance tests are subject to processing in order to: determine the average values of the measured parameters; design parameters and characteristics according to the measured parameters; decoding of all records on oscillograms and chart tapes; construction of reporting schedules; determining the degree of accuracy of the obtained measurement results. The results of acceptance tests are formalized by an act and a report on the tests carried out on the ship, including sections: general data; EC test results; comments on the work of the EU; conclusions and recommendations. The appendix to the report contains summary tables of the main parameters, as well as graphs and diagrams that characterize the operation of the power plant during the testing process.
Maintenance of the ship's power plant after construction is carried out by the commissioning team of the plant, after repair - by the ship's crew.
When accepting a new vessel, the crew must familiarize themselves with: the power plant, auxiliary equipment, systems and technological equipment of the vessel; device and instructions for the technical operation of equipment and systems; grades of fuels and lubricating oils recommended for equipment operation; nomenclature and completeness of instrumentation; acceptance test program, test methods, list of measured parameters and instrumentation used; barrier parameters of power equipment specified in the operating instructions, passports, forms or specifications(THAT).
The ship's crew must: actively assist proper organization and carrying out all types of acceptance tests in full scope of the approved program; make proposals to admission committee according to the list of mechanisms and devices requiring control opening; take part in inspections of mechanisms and devices during control openings; require checking the operation of engines and steam boilers on all types of fuels provided for project documentation.
