A system and method for analyzing part clearance data compares stored design clearance data and tolerance data with actual measured clearance values to determine whether any of the actual clearance values are out of tolerance. Clearance values are measured and input using a digital gauge or like apparatus. The data may be displayed in a spreadsheet along with the design clearance data, and any values that are out of tolerance that therefore require adjustment can be highlighted. Out of tolerance values can be corrected via a manual adjustment or a virtual adjustment.

Method and system for turbine clearance measurement analysis

A method of boring a plurality of aligned, mating bolt holes in a pair of separated coupling flanges comprising the steps of:

Process for boring bolt holes in mating coupling flanges

The repair method includes removing eroded or damaged trailing edge portions of partitions in the diaphragm of a turbine, over 50% of the length of the partitions being removed commencing at the trailing edge. A coupon which is a precise replication of a portion of an originally specified partition is welded to the remaining or extant partition portion by a seal weld along the radial length of the coupon on the suction side of the repaired partition and two full penetration welds at the ends of the coupon to secure it to the inner and outer rings or side walls of the diaphragm. The repaired partition is thus substantially identically contoured as the original partition.
