  • Inspection port for turbines
    Patent number: 3936217
    Abstract: An inspection port structure is provided for turbines to allow examination of interior regions of the turbine for possible damage or deleterious conditions in the flow path. A sealing member is provided in the port with spring means for locking the sealing member in place during normal operation. The sealing member can readily be removed when desired, to permit the insertion of a suitable instrument for internal inspection, and can then be easily replaced in a manner which reliably reestablishes the necessary seal.
