  • Steam turbine inlet and methods of retrofitting
    Publication number: 20030091431
    Abstract: A pair of steam turbine inlet ports are disposed at opposite sides of a steam turbine housing for flowing steam in opposite circumferential directions in a generally annular steam chamber to first stages of a turbine through axially opposite outlets. Portions of the chamber in the upper and lower housing have decreasing cross-sections in a generally circumferential direction away from the steam inlet portions to provide a substantially uniform flow of steam about the chamber in a generally radially inward direction and about and through the axial outlets.

  • Eddy current inspection probe
    Patent number: 6563307
    Abstract: An eddy current inspection probe for inspecting a preselected surface. The eddy current inspection probe includes an expandable element at least partially defining an interior space which is expandable by introducing a pressurized fluid into the interior space from a collapsed position to an expanded position for contacting the preselected surface of the component for inspecting the surface. The probe also includes an eddy current array positioned over the expandable element for generating and detecting magnetic fields in the component to inspect the preselected surface.
