DEPTH MEASUREMENT

OF
WELD-UNDERCUTS

NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

CUSTOMER : PT. Taka Turbomachinery Indonesia
TEST PART : Steam Turbine Rotor
TEST AREA : Journal Bearing as Laser Weld build-up
TEST PURPOSE : Depth Measurement of Indication

TEST METHOD : - Magnetic Particle Test

- Penetrant Test
- Portable Optical Microscopemeter

TEST DESCRIPTION

Background:
The Journal Bearing area of the rotor has been weld build-up and machined closed to finish
dimension 0.05mm perside.
NDT was applied and found that the surface contains linier indication such as segregation,
non metalic/metalic inclusion, or others.
When the depth of those indications are exceed 0.05 mm, the weldment need to remove
and reweld.
