Inspection and Testing of Large Forgings and Castings for Steam and Gas Turbine Generator Sets - Print

Safe operation and high availability of turbine systems make great demands on the reliability and consequently on the quality of the components used. The experience gained in the fabrication of large forgings and castings has been evaluated and considered in drafting this VGB-Standard in order to contribute to enhancing the  operating reliability and availability of the turbine systems.

Requests for amendments raised by turbine generator set manufacturers necessitated a revision of the 2013 edition of this standard.
In the context of the revision, the topic of “Ultrasonic testing of turbine shafts”, among other aspects, was jointly revised by experts from users and manufacturers.
