  • Patent number: 10753543
    Abstract: A steam turbine pipe 1 of an embodiment includes: an upper half side main steam pipe 11 that leads steam to a steam turbine; an upper half side main steam control valve 30 that intervenes in the upper half side main steam pipe 11; and a post-valve drain pipe 31 that is connected to the upper half side main steam control valve 30 and leads drain to an outside. The steam turbine pipe 1 further includes: a shut-off valve 32 that intervenes in the post-valve drain pipe 31; and a branching pipe 60 that makes the post-valve drain pipe 31 on the side closer to the upper half side main steam control valve 30 than is the shut-off valve 32 communicate with the upper half side main steam pipe 11 between the upper half side main steam control valve 30 and a high-pressure turbine 200.

  • Patent number: 9034121
    Abstract: A low alloy steel ingot contains from 0.15 to 0.30% of C, from 0.03 to 0.2% of Si, from 0.5 to 2.0% of Mn, from 0.1 to 1.3% of Ni, from 1.5 to 3.5% of Cr, from 0.1 to 1.0% of Mo, and more than 0.15 to 0.35% of V, and optionally Ni, with a balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. Performing quality heat treatment including a quenching step and a tempering step to the low alloy steel ingot to obtain a material, which has a grain size number of from 3 to 7 and is free from pro-eutectoid ferrite in a metallographic structure thereof, and which has a tensile strength of from 760 to 860 MPa and a fracture appearance transition temperature of not higher than 40° C.

  • Patent number: 9016114
    Abstract: A method of measuring a steam turbine according to an embodiment has: installing a measuring device into the inside of the steam turbine through an inspection hole or a manhole of the steam turbine or an inspection hole or a manhole of a condenser connected to the steam turbine, when the steam turbine is halted; and measuring a position and a dimension of an axial key or a center key of the steam turbine by using the measuring device, without opening a turbine casing of the steam turbine.
