Lube Oil sight flow indicator position (w.r.t bearing)
Lube Oil sight flow indicator position (w.r.t bearing)
(OP)
API 614 6.3.9.1 requires Lube oil sight flow indicators to be mounted on the drain line, rather than a supply line to a bearing.
Can anyone please explain to me why this is stipulated by the code and the disadvantages associated with having the flow indicator on the supply line? (In this case, the context is the radial bearings of an HV drive).
Many Thanks

There is sense in the requirement.
