  • Sealing system for flanged joint
    Patent number: 9388743
    Abstract: A sealing system is provided for a flanged joint. The sealing system includes a split seal and a spring. The split seal includes a radial outer surface, an axial outer surface, and a chamfered surface inclined with respect to the radial outer surface and the axial outer surface. The spring is disposed in urging contact with the chamfered surface and configured to apply an axial force, and a radial force on the axial outer surface, and the radial outer surface respectively.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Solar Turbines Incorporated
    Inventor: Alejandro Manriquez
  • ANALYSIS OF LOCALIZED WASTE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20140259598
    Abstract: A testing method for a component is provided. The method identifies a flaw region of the component. The flaw region is prone to defects. The method then isolates a waste material associated with the identified flaw region. The method analyzes the isolated waste material for an undesirable microstructure associated with defects. Subsequently, the method determines rejection and acceptance of the component based, at least in part, on the analysis.
