Ebco has full in-house capabilities of performing an inspection on the turbine parts. Inspectors are certified to ASNT Level II for liquid dye penetrate testing, magnetic particle testing, and ultrasonic non-destructive testing. Inspectors are also AWS & CWB certified and are responsible for the supervision of sub-contracted radiographic inspections of welds. Optical layout and verification, tool calibrations, and certifications are other functions routinely carried out.

Inspection and Control Equipment:

• Controlled Environment in QC Inspection Room Granite Surface Table 48” x 96”
• Portable Coordinate Measuring Machine (PCMM) capacity 4’-0”
• Verniers & Internal Micrometers measure to 120”
• Outside Micrometers measure 40”
• Tape Diameters to 354” (29’-6”)

Scanning:

3D scanning is one of the most important steps if the part has severe cavitation. The model Scanning technology also makes it easier to generate feature-created models and accurately dimensioned 2D CAD designs. This process differentiates from built-as-modeling, where a CAD operator purposely drafts a model to reflect any defects of the part under study. With the creation of the high-quality models from the reverse engineering process, the models can also be used for: checking defects, whether a ‘flat’ face is perfectly flat or a ’round’ hole is flawlessly round, and whether the resulting model matches up seamlessly with any related models.

• Machining Requirements
• Changes to the original design (if required)
• Comparison to other parts and scans
• Designs to help create mating parts or packaging
