FOREWORD
PETRONAS Technical Standards (PTS) has been developed based on the accumulated knowledge,
experience and best practices of the PETRONAS group supplementing National and International
standards where appropriate. The key objective of PTS is to ensure standard technical practice across
the PETRONAS group.
Compliance to PTS is compulsory for PETRONAS-operated facilities and Joint Ventures (JVs) where
PETRONAS has more than fifty percent (50%) shareholding and/or operational control, and includes
all phases of work activities.

from 2013 - 2015 which includes revision to numbering system, format and content. As part of this
change, the PTS numbering system has been revised to 6-digit numbers and drawings, forms and
requisition to 7-digit numbers. All newly revised PTS will adopt this new numbering system, and
where required make reference to other PTS in its revised numbering to ensure consistency. Users
are requested to refer to PTS 00.01.01 (Index to PTS) for mapping between old and revised PTS

Mechanical running tests

Mechanical test shall be run with loads i.e. representative of the loads that are expected to
be experienced in the field. Testing with no load condition shall also be considered since this
condition may be the worst condition for vibration behaviour, particularly for generator drive
applications.
Sufficient load shall be applied on the gear to ensure similar sitting of the shaft journals in
the bearings as per during service, hence ensuring meaningful vibration measurements
during the mechanical test.
