🔍 Key Concepts

• Gravity lube oil system flow path – where oil normally flows from and to during operation • Purpose of a sight glass – what you are trying to observe from the operating platform • Difference between overflow lines and supply/return lines in a gravity tank system

💭 Think About

• Think about what an engineer standing at the operating platform needs to monitor in real time for safe operation of the bearings and machinery. • Ask yourself: is a sight glass more useful on a line that only flows in an abnormal/overflow condition, or on a line that carries normal operating flow? Why? • Visualize the gravity tank: where does the oil leave the tank during normal operation, and where does it eventually return?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which connection would carry continuous or frequent flow during normal operation rather than only in an emergency or abnormal condition. • Confirm whether an overflow line is supposed to run with oil under normal, correct level conditions. • Check which pair of points (tank vs sump vs header) would give the operator the best indication of actual lube oil supply to the system when looking at the sight glass.
