Level 2: The equipment operates normally; its accuracy meets the requirements of the relevant process technology.
Not in good condition: The equipment does not operate normally and fails to meet process requirements.

Note: If any one of the five items indicates that the equipment is not in good condition, then the entire equipment is considered to be not in good condition.   In recent years, many enterprises have formulated standards for equipment integrity in accordance with the format of enterprise standards, providing a more scientific and reasonable basis for determining and calculating the equipment integrity rate. At the same time, enterprises define the equipment integrity rate as the proportion of all operational production equipment within a company to the total amount of production equipment. The calculation formula is: Equipment availability rate = (Number of functional production equipment units/Total number of production equipment units) × 100%. It is clear that in order to accurately determine the equipment availability rate, equipment managers must first establish standards for the functionality of various production equipment in their company; only then can they carry out thorough inspections and evaluations based on those standards. In other words, the standard of equipment in good condition is the sole criterion for evaluating equipment quality, as well as the fundamental basis for enterprises’ equipment management. Without standards, it is impossible to check and assess the condition of equipment; just as you cannot determine whether Beijing is in the east or the west, you cannot succeed in doing so. Statistical standards for equipment integrity rate I. Definition of equipment integrity rate: The proportion of operational production equipment among all production equipment; it is an important indicator that reflects the technical condition of a company’s equipment and serves to assess the quality of equipment management. The calculation formula is: Equipment integrity rate = Total number of functioning equipment / Total number of production equipment × 100% = ×100%. The total number of equipment in the formula includes equipment that is in use, out of service, or mothballed. The standards for equipment integrity serve as the fundamental basis for equipment management. They provide a basis for assessing whether equipment is in good technical condition, and they are also the foundation and prerequisite for calculating the rate of equipment integrity.   Statistical standards for equipment leakage rates
I. Classification of sealing points and scope of statistics
1. Dynamic seals: Seals between two components that are in continuous motion, rotation, or reciprocation in various electromechanical devices (including machine tools) are considered dynamic seals. Seals for components such as compressor shafts, pump shafts, and rotating shafts of various tanks all fall under dynamic seals.   2. Static sealing: In equipment (including machine tools) and indoor heating systems, as well as their associated pipelines and accessories, the sealing between two components that have no relative motion during operation is referred to as static sealing. Such as flanges on equipment pipelines, various valves, plug plugs, and union joints ; Oil gauges and auxiliary pipelines on pump equipment ; Transformers, oil circuit breakers, and cable joints for electrical equipment ; Instrument orifice plates, control valves, auxiliary leads ; The joints with other equipment also fall under static sealing. II. Statistical criteria for sealing points:
1. Statistical criteria for dynamic sealing points: A seal between two components that are in continuous motion, rotating, or reciprocating is counted as one dynamic sealing point.   2. Statistical criteria for static seal points: One joint of a static seal point is counted as one static seal point. For example, a pair of flanges, regardless of their size specifications, counts as one sealing point. A valve is generally considered to have four sealing points; if there is a plug behind the valve or if it is immediately followed by a vent, one additional point should be counted for each of these. A threaded union counts as three sealing points. Special areas such as the bolt holes of the connection flanges are connected to the interior of the equipment; aside from the joint surface which serves as one sealing point, each bolt hole requires its own sealing point.   3. Criteria for counting leakage points: One leakage is counted as one leakage point; whether it occurs at a sealing point or due to weld cracks, porosity, corrosion, or other reasons, it is all included in the count of leakage points.   Formula for calculating the leakage rate: Leakage rate = (Number of leakage points / Number of static seal points) × 1000 (0/00). III. Inspection criteria for dynamic and static seals: (1) Inspection criteria for static seals: 1. At the joints of equipment and pipelines, there should be no coking, smoking, leakage marks, seepage traces, or dirt visible to the naked eye.   2. For instrument equipment and the conduits for steam and air, leak checks are carried out using soapy water at the welding points and other connection areas; no bubbles should be present ; For vacuum areas, use thin paper strips in a straight manner.   3. At the joints of electrical equipment such as transformers, oil circuit breakers, and oil-impregnated paper insulated cable ends, there should be no leaks visible to the naked eye.   4. For the oxygen, nitrogen, and air systems, check with soapy water to ensure there are no bubbles.   5. Steam system: no leaks and no scale visible to the naked eye.   6. For chemical systems such as acids and alkalis, there should be no seepage marks, no leakage traces, no scaling, no smoke when observed with the naked eye; or the precision test paper used for leak testing shows no color change.   7. For water and oil systems, a macroscopic inspection or manual touch should reveal no leaks or scale.   8. Various gearboxes, vertical shafts, and speed control levers of different machine tools show no obvious leakage upon visual inspection. Areas without seals, such as slide blocks and guide rails, are not subject to statistics or evaluation.   (II) Inspection standards for dynamic seals: 1. Slight oil leakage is allowed from the crankcase covers of various reciprocating compressors and from the bearing shells of turbine compressors, but it must be wiped clean regularly.   2. For various types of reciprocating compressor packings and turbine compressor gas seals, no leakage is allowed at the beginning of operation, while slight leakage is permissible by the end of the operating interval. Various oil injectors can allow for slight leakage, but they must be wiped clean regularly.   3. Bearings equipped with oil rings in various transmission devices must not leak oil, while bearings that require lubrication can allow slight leakage, which should be wiped clean at all times.   4. Initially, the permissible leakage rate for pump packings should be no more than 60 drops per minute.   5. For all types of pumps that use mechanical seals, no leakage is allowed at the beginning of operation, and the leakage rate should not exceed 60 drops per minute at the end of operation.   6. If a water pump leaks in the form of a stream of water, it is considered to be a device with severe leakage.   (III) Standards for oil leakage from production equipment 1. Oil seepage: It is considered oil seepage when there are no visible oil stains, and no oil stains reappear within 5 minutes after the area has been wiped clean.   2. Oil leakage: Obvious oil stains are present; in some cases, oil droplets form. If oil stains or droplets reappear within 5 minutes after being wiped off, it is considered oil leakage.   3. Oil leakage point: A location with a visible oil trail or an oil drop constitutes a leakage point.   4. Oil-proof equipment: Equipment that is oil-proof, with no leakage at both the static and dynamic joints.   5. General oil leakage equipment: Equipment that exhibits oil leakage but to a degree that is not severe is considered general oil leakage equipment.   6. Equipment with severe oil leakage: Any equipment where the number of oil drops per minute at a single leak point exceeds 3 drops is considered to have severe oil leakage. I.
