BS ISO 7146-2:2019

This standard BS ISO 7146-2:2019 Plain bearings. Appearance and characterization of damage to metallic hydrodynamic bearings is classified in these ICS categories:

• 21.100.10 Plain bearings

This document defines, describes and classifies the characteristics of damage occurring in service in hydrodynamically lubricated metallic plain bearings due to cavitation erosion, together with possible countermeasures. It assists in understanding the various characteristic forms of damage which can occur.

Consideration is restricted to damage which has a well-defined appearance and which can be attributed to particular causes with a high degree of certainty. Various appearances are illustrated with photographs and diagrams.
