TEServices, together with Turbine Technology International and Sulzer Turbo Services, has updated the EPRI GT Rotor Life Extensions Guideline, concerning the rotor disassembly / assembly, nondestructive testing metallurgical and mechanical properties and evaluation. This guideline provides EPRI members and other gas turbine users insight on what it takes to extend the life of their aging rotors.
TEServices continues to provide verification during the actual manufacturing and refurbishment process of end user IGT components and rotors at the vendor’s and their sub-contracted facilities (while maintaining all current COVID safety protocols) including:
• Inspecting the parts prior to cleaning at customer or vendor location
• Creating bids/ repair specifications or using TEServices bid/ repair specifications
• Performing reviews of the parts after incoming inspection is completed at the repair shop, reviewing the vendor incoming inspection report and proposing repair scope to ensure that the specifications and expectations of the customer can be met on time
• Reviewing and approving 1st article repair and coating qualifications
• Providing key interim inspections such as pre-coat to ensure quality work according to the bid repair and coating procedure, and checking on work progress for scheduled completion
• Verifying final inspections before boxing and shipping of the components
• Providing written reviews of the incoming, interim, and final inspection verification
