SECTION 1 GENERAL
1 Introduction
1.1 ObjectiveThe objective of this class programme (CP) is to give a description of the type approval (TA) scheme forsynthetic bushing materials for rudder bearings and propeller shafts.The general requirements for obtaining DNV GL type approval certificate is given in class programme DNVGLCP 0338 Type approval scheme.The production site may be qualified and certified through the approval of manufacturer (AoM) scheme inaccordance with DNVGL CP 0421.The procedures and requirements described in this CP are applicable for obtaining TA certificate based onrequirements given in the Society's rules and standards, e.g.:
1) For synthetic rudder bearing bushing materials:
— DNV GL rules for classification - ships, RU SHIP Pt.3 Ch.14
2) For synthetic propeller shaft bearing materials:
— DNV GL rules for classification - ships, RU SHIP Pt.4 Ch.4.Guidance note:This class programme is not applicable for obtaining EU Marine Equipment Directive (MED) certificates. Visit www.dnvgl.com forinformation on MED certification.

1.2 ScopeThis CP gives a description of the procedures and requirements related to documentation, design and typetesting applicable for TA of synthetic bushing materials for rudder bearings and propeller shafts.This CP does not set the design requirements for synthetic bushing materials for rudder bearings andpropeller shafts. TA is based on compliance with design requirements given in the rules and/or otherregulations and standards. The CP describes the applicable requirements and how to document compliancewith the requirements in order to obtain a TA certificate for the equipment. This includes, where relevant,technical requirements for how the type tests shall be performed.The type approval certificate will cover one grade of the actual product with the possibility to include variants.For synthetic bushing materials this means:
— grade: one chemical composition, with our without reinforcements— variants: various dimensions
Synthetic bushing materials using different chemical compositions, resins, fibres, filler material etc. areconsidered to be different grades.The Society's type approval for a synthetic bushing material is divided into four different main levels basedon the bushing material’s capability to withstand surface pressure in operational condition:
5.5 N/mm2 = type testing according to Sec.2 Table 1 and Sec.2 Table 2.
7.5 N/mm2 = type testing according to the general scheme: Sec.2 Table 1, plus testing of swell (dry/wet/dry/wet cycles) and wear testing at increased pressure: Sec.2 Table 3.
Sec

Class programme — DNVGL-CP-0081. Edition February 2016 Page 6Synthetic bearing bushing materials
DNV GL AS
10 N/mm2 = type testing according to the general scheme: Sec.2 Table 1, plus testing of swell (dry/wet dry/wet cycles) and wear testing at increased pressure: Sec.2 Table 3. Additionally,satisfactory service experience from rudder bearing application in minimum 2.5 years (atminimum 5.5 N/mm2) in at least two different vessels classed with the Society shall bedocumented.
Type approvals issued for surface pressures above 5.5 N/mm2 will be issued with a statement that area ofapplication will be evaluated during approval of certified products if the surface pressure exceeds 5.5 N/mm2.Further, a maximum surface pressure of 10 N/mm2 will be subject to evaluation w.r.t. service experience etc.in connection with renewal of a certificate.The type approval will normally only cover water and/or oil lubrication, however, for self-lubricating materialsthat have documented good performance in lubricated systems for several years it will be possible to applyfor an approval covering also non-lubrication (see Sec.2 [5]).The Society's type approval for a synthetic propeller shaft bearing material is given for pressure up to 0.6MPa (6 bar).The type approval certificate is normally limited to one manufacturer at one production site, however, otherarrangements may be agreed upon with the Society.Type tests as specified in Sec.2 [3], shall be carried out and verified in one of the following ways:
— at a DNV GL laboratory— at an accredited and recognized testing laboratory or a laboratory accepted by the Society— at the manufacturer’s premises in the presence of a surveyor.
The type test results shall be submitted to the Society in form of a test report according to ISO 17025 andthe additional requirements of the relevant test standard for evaluation.
1.3 ApplicationDNV GL rules for classification - ships, RU SHIP Pt.3 Ch.14 and RU SHIP Pt.4 Ch.4 require that syntheticbushing materials for rudder bearings and propeller shafts are type approved in accordance with this CP forequipment to be installed on vessels classed with the Society.A TA certificate in accordance with this CP will confirm compliance with the requirements given in the rules asspecified in [1.1]. The TA certificate will not confirm compliance with requirements given in other parts of therules. In case additional requirements given in other parts of the rules shall be covered by the TA certificate,this shall be specified in the application for TA and will be stated in the TA certificate.
1.4 Application for renewal after five (5) yearsApplication for renewal should be submitted to the Society not later than three (3) months before expiry dateof the type approval certificate.The application shall include updated type approval documentation as specified in Sec.2.Upon receipt of the application, the Society will perform a renewal assessment with main objective to verifythat the product properties, material composition and the product marking are not altered since issuance ofthe type approval certificate.Provided an approval of manufacturer certificate (see DNVGL CP 0421 Manufacturer of Fibre Reinforcements)which is still valid for at least one year is available, an exemption from the obligation concerning retentionand renewal surveys listed in the class programme DNVGL CP 0338 Type Approval scheme will typicallyapply.If there, since last issuance of the type approval certificate, has been any change in the relevant standards orin the Society’s rules, new assessment of product and type tests may be required.

4 Wear testing procedure for synthetic rudder bearing bushingmaterialsOther dimensions, parameters than listed below may be accepted by the Society after agreement, prior totesting.Test set-up consisting of a:
— oscillating shaft = diameter (dsh) = 100 mm— sample shall be a fixed bearing segment = shall cover minimum 50° of the shafts circumference (width)
with a length of the bearing; hb = 1.2 dsh (length max. 120 mm for a 100 mm shaft and min. 80 mm) (iflarger samples shall be used, keep the same relation). The bearing diameter shall be db = dsh + 1 mm oraccording to manufacturer's recommendations
— Seawater lubrication facility.
Test parameters:
— oscillating shaft = ± 15°— surface pressure = Testing shall be carried out at the requested surface pressure (max. 10 N/mm2).
Additionally, testing shall be carried out at a surface pressure two times the requested pressure (i.e. max.20 N/mm2)
— lubrication = both dry and artificial seawater.— air temperature = 20°C— velocity = velocity of 3.5 mm/s— movement = the shaft movement shall go on continuously at the requested surface pressure. At surface
pressures above the requested level, a pause/break may be allowed in periods up to 10 s at each pass ofcentreline, upon agreement with the Society prior to starting the testing and will be stated as a limitationto applicable PV (Pressure and Velocity - heat generation)
— actual running time/duration = until stable wear rate has been established (minimum 192 hours at 3.5mm/s) or maximum 850 hours (excluding disassembling and pauses/breaks). For lower velocities and/orlonger pauses/breaks, the duration shall be increased accordingly.
Mating material:
— type = stainless steel
Sec

Class programme — DNVGL-CP-0081. Edition February 2016 Page 16Synthetic bearing bushing materials
DNV GL AS
— hardness = max. 220 HV5— mating materials surface roughness = fine turned to Ra = 0.8 µm— clearances = db = dsh + 1 mm, hence max. 1 mm on diameter or according to manufacturer's
recommendations.
Parameters to be recorded:
— wear shall be measured on bushing as well as on the liner/shaft, continuously or regularly. If regularly,wear to be measured by disassembling every 48 hours until demonstrated by minimum four points ofmeasurements that a stable wear rate is achieved. The following shall be presented both tabulated andgraphically:
— wear vs. time (mm/h) and pressure— wear vs. test cycle— wear vs. kilometres of travel— coefficient of friction shall be measured (continuously/regularly) until the wear rate has stabilised at 20°C.
Coefficient of friction vs time and pressure to be presented both tabulated and graphically— all quantified parameters to be measured— thermocouple, if relevant (shall coordinate thermic expansion and measured wear, in order to distinguish
these two parameters.
Swell due to thermal expansion and/or water swell shall be taken into account when specifying wear.
5 Approval for use in non-lubrication (dry-running) applicationsThis section applies only to synthetic rudder bearing bushing materials manufactured as self-lubricationtypes, i.e. they include fillers or similar that promotes self-lubrication. The manufacturer's technical datasheet or product description shall clearly state that the material is manufactured as, and suitable for, self-lubrication.Initially, the manufacturer may apply for dry-running up to a surface pressure of 5.5 N/mm2. Whensatisfactory performance at 5.5 N/mm2 has been documented for the bushing material in service for aminimum 2.5 years, plus testing according to Table 2, a surface pressure of 7.5 MPa may be applied for, etc.In order to include applications without water and/or oil lubrication, i.e. dry-running, the following additionsshall be made to the Society's wear testing procedure given in [4]:
— in dry condition only; continuously or regularly monitoring of temperature in the bushing material close tothe contact surface
— the running time/duration of the wear test shall be as stated in [4], however, also a stable temperatureshall be established before test is ended
— the bushing temperature shall not exceed the maximum service temperature set by the manufacturer, andin any case it shall not exceed:
— for non-elastomeric materials; heat distortion temperature (HDT) –20°C— for elastomeric materials; 50°C, or subject to evaluation for each case.
As an example, the following may be stated on the front page of the type approval certificate, when dry-running is included:“Maximum surface pressure 5.5 MPa for the synthetic bearing against steel, non-lubricated, and maximum10 MPa water or oil lubricated. The type approval is valid only when the installation/application of the productis according to the DNV GL rules and the manufacturer's specification.”
6 Approval of synthetic propeller shaft bearing materialsThere are in principle three alternative ways of obtaining a type approval for propeller shaft bearingmaterials:
— compliance with this class programme— good and well documented service experience in conventional vessels for minimum 2 years, or
Sec
tion

Class programme — DNVGL-CP-0081. Edition February 2016 Page 17Synthetic bearing bushing materials
DNV GL AS
— based on a test programme developed by the manufacturer, evaluated and approved by the Society. Thetest programme shall address low, medium and high speed running, potential high surface load peaks inslow running mode etc.
7 Wear testing procedure for synthetic propeller shaft bearingmaterialsWear test for synthetic propeller shaft bearing materials with continuous motion (on the basis of ASTM G77):
— mating material: shaft made of stainless steel (about HRC 50)— diameter of shaft: the shaft diameter is depending on the bearing size but it shall be ≥ 35 mm— motion of shaft: continuous gliding— circumferential velocity: 6 m/s for oil or water lubrication, and 3 m/s for grease lubrication— lubrication: sea water (room temperature) and mineral oil (80°C), grease (80°C) if applicable— surface roughness: Ra = 0.5 mm— interface pressure: min. 0.6 MPa but in case of higher surface pressure it will be stated on the certificate— duration of test: until coefficient of wear remains constant (at least 192 h, not exceeding 840 h)— in order to obtain mixed lubrication, the test shall be interrupted every 8 hours.— dimensions of test sample.

Parameters to be recorded:
— wear shall be measured on bushings as well on the shaft, continuously or regularly. If regularly, wear tobe measured by disassembling every 48 hours until a constant wear rate has been achieved (minimum offour points of measurements). The measurements shall be presented both tabulated and graphically.
— wear vs. time (mm/h) and pressure— coefficient of friction— test distance [h]— temperature of test sample during test cycle.
8 Requirements for marking of productThe product or package shall be marked. The marking shall at least include the following information:
— product name— manufacturer’s name and address or trade mark— storage instruction— production date/batch number— quality guarantee period, if any.
The marking shall be carried out in such a way that it is visible, legible and indelible. The marking of productshall enable traceability to the Society's type approval certificate.
