Quality Assurance<br />

<strong>The</strong> most important principle of turbine<br />

manufacture is to ensure high quality<br />

standards for all components. <strong>The</strong><br />

turbines are subjected to the following<br />

checks during the manufacturing<br />

process.<br />

18<br />

Material inspections<br />

Castings inspection<br />

Production inspection<br />

Assembly inspection<br />

Continuous quality control is ensured<br />

by the ISO 9001 quality management<br />

system.<strong>The</strong> turbine and baseframe are<br />

erected and the internal piping is installed<br />

on the assembly bed. <strong>The</strong> gearing/generator<br />

modular unit is assembled<br />

at the generator manufacturer and<br />

subjected to a functional check. As with<br />

the other modules, both oil modules are<br />

tested at the manufacturer prior to their<br />

installation adjacent to the turbine on<br />

site.<br />

In order to meet the requirements for<br />

quiet running, operational safety and<br />

high availability of the steam turbines,<br />

each turbine rotor is subjected to highspeed<br />

dynamic balancing and spin<br />

testing in a vacuum spin test facility.<br />

After this acceptance test the rotor can<br />

be installed.
