A. Dissolve Gas Analysis

For Dissolve Gas Oil Analysis, below Scope of Services shall be performed by the Contractor based on request.

  1. CONTRACTOR shall carry out oil samplings in accordance with ASTM D3613 standard to avoid contamination and gas loss. Sampling shall be performed using gas-tight syringes or vacuum-type sampling bottles suitable for DGA.

CONTRACTOR shall ensure flushing of sampling valves prior to sample collection.

CONTRACTOR shall perform sampling preferably on energized transformers (online condition) unless otherwise instructed.

CONTRACTOR is required to collect oil samples on ad-hoc basis based on our RO issuance, which should include provision of all necessary tools and bottles for the collection of oil samplings

Each sample shall be properly labeled with the following details:

  • Transformer tag number
  • Location
  • Date and time of sampling
  • Load condition (if available)
  • Oil temperature
  1. CONTRACTOR shall perform Oil quality testing and DGA using Gas Chromatography (GC) method refer to ASTM D3612 standard and shall be conducted in a certified laboratory with calibrated instruments.
  2. A general list of common Oil quality tests that should be performed for reasons mentioned above along with the applicable standards include: –

This is not an exhausted list as there are many other tests that may be performed on an “as and when” required basis.

  1. CONTRACTOR shall conduct the Dissolved Gas analysis in accordance with the parameters outlined below:
  • Hydrogen (H₂)
  • Methane (CH₄)
  • Ethane (C₂H₆)
  • Ethylene (C₂H₄)
  • Acetylene (C₂H₂)
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
  • Optional (recommended)
  • Oxygen (O₂)
  • Nitrogen (N₂)
  1. CONTRACTOR shall perform detailed diagnostic analysis using IEC 60599 methods.
  2. CONTRACTOR is required to collect on routine based on our request, which should include provision of all necessary tools and bottles for the collection of oil samplings.
  3. The Report shall be provided no later than two (02) weeks after receiving receipt of samples from us with below requirements.
  • Gas concentration in ppm for each parameter
  • Total Dissolved Combustible Gas (TDCG)
  • Diagnostic interpretation
  • Identification of fault type and severity
  • Trend comparison (if previous data is available)
  • Clear recommendations for action
  • Raw GC data (if requested)
  • Diagnostic plots (Duval Triangle, trends, ratios)
