    This document provides standards for ultrasonic testing of integral steam turbine blade spigots. It specifies that 10% of spigots greater than 7.15mm in diameter must be tested after riveting of shrouding. Any spigot giving an ultrasonic indication over 15mm will require further investigation of the entire stage or batch. Testing is done using a Krautkramer K10W instrument with a miniature double probe calibrated to a test block, and results must be less than 15mm to be acceptable.

    ULTRASONIC TESTING OF INTEGRAL

    _§!5£M_T >i£2!N§_!i^£_gpx3gp§_-

    1. GENERAL:

    This document covers the ultrasonic tests and the


    standards of acceptance to be applied to spigots that
    form an integral part of steam turbine blades.
    It excludes the testing previously required before fitting
    and riveting of shrouding. This is no"longer considered
    necessary because of the negative results obtained from
    the testing of over 20,000 spigots in the unriveted
    condition.
    Testing is now confined to the 1056 check referred to below
    as a means of maintaining the necessary standard of rivets.
    2. TESTING AFTER RTV FT ING OF SHROUDING*

    2.1 Pi^!£iS5_§Bi22^S

    Spigots dimpled to facilitate riveting cannot be


    ultrasonicaily tested unless the dimple has been removed.
    10% of each stage or batch of spigots having cross
    sectional dimensions greater than 7.15 mm shall be
    ultrasonicaily tested as described in the Appendix. This
    Phall bo don«* aft<?r the dimple has been removed by
    grinding or filing to produce a surface suitable for
    ultrasonic testing, leaving the 'stand out* within the
    limit of the appropriate gauge. If a flat is provided,
    it shall be normal to the axis of the spigot, and equal
    to the diameter of the spigot within a tolerance of
    0.80 mm.

    2.2 Spigots without dimples


    2.2.1 Circular Spigots

    10"° of each stage or batch of circular spigots greater


    than 7.15 mm shall be ultrasonicaily tested as described
    in the Appendix 1.
    Spigots of 7.15 mm and less shall not be tested.
    2.2.2 Non - Circular Spigot's
    10% cxf each stage or batch of non-circular spigots having
    cross-sectional dimensions greater than 7.15 mm shall be
    ultrasonically tested as described in the Appendix I«
    Spigots having cross-sectional dimensions of 7.15 mm and
    less shall not be tested.
    3. ACCEPTANCE STANDARD:
    Spigots giving ultrasonic indications less that- 15 mm
    amplitude shall be acceptable.
    Spigots giving ultrasonic indications in excess of 15 mm
    amplitude shall be subjected to further investigation,
    i.e. the whole of the rest of the stage or batch shall be
    examined ultrasonically and the results given further
    consideration.
    APPENDIX_-_I

    I^2££2£i£_!rX2W**?A2-*21?

    1. EQUITPMENT:
    Krautkramer type KIOW
    2. PROBE:
    Type SMSEP 4T

    This comprises a combined minature double 4 MC probe machined


    to givr- a contact rUameter of 6.35 mm.
    3. TEST BLOCK:

    To ensure reproducible results a test piece shall be used


    on which the instrument sensitivity shall be calibrated.
    The test block consists of riveted spigot 9.50 mm diameter,
    plus 6.35 mm of blade section. A 1.20 mm diameter flat
    bottomed hole is drilled from the underside of the blade
    section on the axis of the spigot to a depth which coincides
    with the radius. The head of the spigot is ground flat and
    normal to the spigot axis.
    4. SENSITIVITY:

    The sensitivity shall be adjusted to give an indication from


    the 1.20 mm diameter flat bottomed hole of 36 mm anplitude.
    5. PROBE MANIPULATION:

    Scanning shall be carried out on the spigot head so that the


    whole surface is covered*, some over-lapping of the spigot
    being necessary to ensure full coverage. At all times,the
    acoustic separator of the test, probe must be held radial-to
    thif Ceittc of the spigot. LL_-___
