About This Item
ASTM F2361 is a technical guide for ordering low voltage alternating current electric motors for shipboard service, up to and including motors of 500 horsepower. It helps buyers and engineers define the right motor requirements for marine applications where voltage, performance, and service conditions must be clearly specified. By standardizing the ordering process, this ASTM standard supports better procurement decisions, clearer communication, and more consistent equipment selection for shipboard use.
What is ASTM F2361?
This standard provides guidance for specifying low voltage AC electric motors intended for shipboard service, including motors rated at 1000 VAC or less and up to 500 horsepower. ASTM F2361 is used as a reference when preparing purchase documents or technical requirements so that the motor being ordered matches the intended application. It is especially useful where consistent ordering language is needed to reduce ambiguity and support reliable equipment selection.
Where is ASTM F2361 used?
ASTM F2361 is typically used in marine and shipboard procurement workflows where low voltage AC motors are selected for onboard service. It may be applied by shipbuilders, marine engineers, maintenance teams, and purchasing personnel who need a common basis for ordering motors within the stated voltage and horsepower range. The standard is most relevant when clear technical definitions are needed before purchase, installation, or replacement.
Why is ASTM F2361 important?
This guide matters because shipboard motor purchases often require careful alignment between engineering needs and supplier documentation. ASTM F2361 helps improve consistency in ordering, supports quality control during procurement, and can reduce the risk of receiving equipment that does not match the intended service conditions. For buyers and specifiers, it provides a practical framework for clearer compliance checks and more dependable product evaluation.
