>Turbine disc inspection
This inspection is completed during after removal of turbine rotating components and can be completed in under one shift.
>Bearings
Completed on thrust bearing pads and journal bearings. This ultrasonic and penetrant inspection verifies babbitt material is bonded properly to bearing housing. Penetrant inspection is completed to detect cracking in the babbitt material on the bearing faces.
TIL's/TA's
Veracity can develop customized inspection protocols to meet customers' needs or even exceed OEM requirements. Examples of these inspections are:
>Turbine Wheel inspection
>Aft Compressor dovetail inspection
>7E/7EA S1 Inspection
>Stage 1-2 Spacer Wheel Rim UTPA Inspection
>Stage 3 Bucket Inspection
Steam Turbine Services
L-0 Inspections
Eddy Current and fluorescent penetrant inspection to detect airfoil cracking and corrosion pitting.
Blade Molds
Surface mold replication collection and analysis of the airfoil pitting depth caused from erosion.
Outage Support
From valve seats, weld repairs and piping inspections, Veracity can support your steam turbine minor and major inspection.
Generator/Balance of plant services
Generator Retaining Ring Inspections
Veracity developed an UT/ET vehicle that can travel the circumference of the generator retaining ring and inspect for stress corrosion cracking. Over 18,000 ultrasonic images are collected and data can be then rendered into a 3D model for further evaluation.
Generator Blower Blade Inspections
During your next generator outage, Veracity can eddy current inspect the airfoil and root areas of your generator blower blades.
Valve/Piping Inspections
Veracity has the experience to inspect a wide variety of valves and piping along with your gas turbine outage needs.
Inspection Updates
7F Compressor R-0 R-1 Inspection Update
There is new OEM guidance for the GE F Class Fleet concerning the nondestructive inspection requirements of the R-0 and R-1 compressor blade dovetails. Although this inspection is not new, the requirement to inspect the components at the next available outage is an update to the OEM recommendations. The misconception is, that if your R-0 blades have the enhanced undercut design, then the OEM recommendations have been satisfied.
Unless the airfoils have been upgraded with undercut R-1 compressor blades, the risk for blade liberation is still present according to the OEM guidance.
To mitigate this risk, the recommendation is to inspect those affected blades at the next scheduled outage. Veracity performs these inspections in tandem with our borescope inspections.
Veracity’s proprietary UTPA technology allows for the highest probability of detection in the industry which mitigates your risk at the first sign of a defect. In the fall of 2020, Veracity detected a R-1 crack in the dovetail that was near the liberation stage thus preventing a failure of the component. Contact us today for more information or to schedule your next inspection.
