GOST 11928-83 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ 11928-83 — Системы аварийно-предупредительной сигнализации и защиты автоматизированных дизелей и газовых двигателей. Общие технические условия. The standard defines general technical requirements for emergency and warning signalling and protection systems for automated diesel and gas engines used in stationary, marine and locomotive (industrial, ship and locomotive) applications.

Abstract

This interstate (GOST) standard specifies types, basic parameters, functional requirements and safety provisions for automated emergency-warning signalling and protection systems for diesel and gas engines (including diesel-reducers, diesel-generators and gas-moto-compressors). It covers alarm categories, visual and audible signalling, required monitored parameters, protective actions (for example fuel cut-off or air intake closure), acceptance and test provisions, storage/transportation and basic manufacturer guarantees. The document includes a normative scope for mounting and climatic requirements where referenced standards apply.

Scope

The standard applies to automatic emergency and emergency‑warning signalling and protection systems for ship, locomotive and industrial diesel and gas engines automated according to ГОСТ 14228. It sets mandatory technical requirements for system types and functions, the minimum set of monitored engine parameters, signalling conventions (visual and audible), protective actions and acceptance/testing rules for systems intended for diesel‑reducer, diesel‑generator and similar engine aggregates. The standard is intended to be used alongside referenced climatic, safety and component standards for design and acceptance.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification of system types and functional levels (alarm-only, alarm+warning, alarm+warning+pre‑trip protection modes and related types used for different automation scopes).
• List of mandatory monitored parameters (examples: lubricating oil pressure, crankshaft rotational frequency for engines ≥ 30 kW, coolant temperature for liquid‑cooled engines, oil temperature and other manufacturer‑agreed parameters).
• Visual signalling requirements: colours, recognition distance and behaviour (e.g., red for emergency; yellow/orange for warning; green/white for status).
• Audible signalling requirements and rules for muting/acknowledgement while preserving automatic readiness where appropriate.
• Protective actions: permitted methods to implement emergency protection (fuel shutoff, blocking/closing air intake, mechanical stop devices), including manual reset and indication of protection disablement.
• Requirements for system components, operator interfaces, acceptance testing, storage/transportation and manufacturer guarantees.
• References to related safety and climatic standards (for example requirements in GOST 15150 for climatic categories and GOST 12.2.007.0 for safety where applicable).

Typical use and users

Primary users are engine manufacturers, shipyards, locomotive builders, prime contractors for industrial engine installations, control-panel and alarm-system suppliers, test laboratories and certification bodies. Engineers in design, commissioning and maintenance use the standard to specify signalling/protection functions, acceptance tests and compliance requirements for engine automation projects and retrofit works. Regulatory and classification bodies reference it for safety and equipment acceptance on marine and rail installations.

Related standards

Commonly referenced and related documents include ГОСТ 14228-80 (classification of automated diesel and gas engines), ГОСТ 15150-69 (climatic versions and categories), ГОСТ 11102-75 and ГОСТ 19176-85 (sensors and measuring devices), ГОСТ 10448-80 and ГОСТ 10150-88 (engine acceptance and general engine requirements), as well as applicable safety standards in the GOST/GOST R system. The standard replaced ГОСТ 11928-66.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ 11928-83 is a Soviet / interstate standard that specifies general technical requirements for emergency and emergency‑warning signalling and protection systems used with automated diesel and gas engines (ship, locomotive and industrial applications).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers system types and functional levels, the set of engine parameters to be monitored (minimum requirements), visual and audible signalling conventions, required protective actions (e.g., fuel shutoff, air intake closure), acceptance and testing provisions, storage/transportation conditions and manufacturer guarantees; it also includes a normative explanatory appendix with definitions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Engine OEMs, control‑panel and alarm-system manufacturers, shipyards and locomotive builders, commissioning and maintenance engineers, test labs and classification/regulatory authorities use the standard for specifying, building and accepting signalling and protection systems.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was approved in 1983 (effective 1 January 1984) and later reissued (May 2004) with Amendment No.1 (1988); public records indicate its limitation of validity was removed and it is listed as in-force in multiple standards repositories, though users should always verify compatibility with later national/regional regulations and any newer industry standards for specific applications.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the group of standards covering diesel and gas engine design, testing and automation (for example ГОСТ 14228, ГОСТ 10448, ГОСТ 10150 and related documents) and supplants the earlier ГОСТ 11928-66.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Emergency signalling, warning signalling, protection, diesel engine, gas engine, automated systems, alarm, fuel cut-off, engine safety, marine engines, locomotive engines, ГОСТ 11928-83.
