Phased Array Ultrasonic Examination of NPP Low Pressure Steam Turbine Blades

  • 1. Korea Electric Power Research Institute, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

As the increase of turbine running age in nuclear power plant, cracks have been found in the straddle mount(GE) type blade root area. The nondestructive examination in the blade root area has been done by manual ultrasonic examination during overhaul period but because of necessity to improve the reliability, KEPRI has been developing automated phased array ultrasonic examination system and technique. To verify the availability of the developing automatic ultrasonic examination technique, low pressure steam turbine blades of standard nuclear power plant were examined using phased array ultrasonic examination
