Modernization of the turbine casing screw connection

Our client has decided to modernize the screw connection of the turbine flanges. In place of the traditional connection with stud bolts crewed into the lower half of the cosing, it was decided to make through holes with a slightly larger diameter than the original solution. In the first step, due to the shape of the casting, a feasibility study had to be carried out – for this purpose, a 3D scan of the flanges was performed, with a particular focus on the radii of the transition to the casing area. The result is a three-dimensional model of the casing’s fragment within the area of planned upgrade. On the same […]
