LEAKAGE DEFINITIONS
The following are definitions of the types/classes of leakage you need to know to be able to determine the status
of your equipment.
CLASS I
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form
drops.
CLASS II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops, but not enough to cause drops to drip from
the item being checked/inspected.
CLASS III
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being
checked/inspected.
CAUTION
Equipment operation is allowable with minor
leakage (Class I or II). Of course consideration
must be given to the fluid capacity in the
item/system being checked/inspected. When
operating with Class I or II leaks, continue to
check fluid levels as required on your PMCS.
Class II leaks should be reported to your
supervisor.
