Deputation of RA Power Solution technicians to Suez Port:

RA Power Solutions deputed two technicians, along with an onsite crankshaft grinding machine and necessary measuring instruments, to Suez Port, where they boarded the vessel. The inspection of crankshaft was conducted as per the RA Power Solutions protocol.

The following are the main observations:

(i) On the visual inspection of the crankpins, it was observed that all seven crankpins were damaged. The bearing material was embedded on a few of the crankpins. The deep bearing line marks and rough surface are also observed.

(ii) The hardness of the crankpin was taken, and no abnormality was observed.

(iii) The crack detection of all seven crankpins was undertaken by the MPI method, and no crack was observed.

(iv) On dimensional inspection of the crankpins, orality in the range of 0.10 mm to 0.26 mm was observed in the case of six crankpins. In the remaining one, a crankpin ovality of 1.40 mm was observed.

The standard details of the crankshaft are as follows:

Action taken by RA Power Solutions for the successful repair of MAN B&W crankshaft:

(i) Six numbers of crankpins were undersized by 0.5 mm.

(ii) One number of crankpins was undersized by 2.0 mm.

(iii) We strictly maintained all parameters as per the manufacturer’s requirements and the maintenance manual.
