Liner Diameter Measurement (LDM)

Chris Marine · Model Chris Marine LDM

Inspection of all cylinder liners on a 2-stroke main engine in a single day without disassembly, reporting wear, remaining liner life, ovality and clover-leafing.

Description

In response to increased liner wear concerns from low-sulphur fuel operation, Goltens invested globally in Liner Diameter Measurement (LDM) tooling from Chris Marine. With it, Goltens can inspect all liners on a 2-stroke main engine in a single day without disassembling the unit.

Key features

  • Reports on cylinder liner wear, remaining liner life, ovality and any clover-leafing
  • On 2-stroke engines the tools are inserted through the scavenging ports, so cylinder covers do not need to be removed; on 4-stroke engines the cylinder cover must be removed
  • Data evaluated in a handheld terminal or transferred to a PC for storage and report generation
  • Delivered by Goltens stations in Singapore, China, Dubai, Rotterdam, Houston and Miami

Applications

Planning liner replacements ahead of yard periods and periodic fleet-wide condition monitoring of main engines.

Specifications

2-stroke liner range500-980 mm diameter
