testing. Hydraulic testing is done using a power driven triple piston
horizontal hydraulic pump which can generate a pressure of 200 Kg/Cm2.
It can also be carried out using a power pack.
- On Governing elements / assembly and test stand, the components / sub-
assemblies / assemblies are tested up to a hydraulic pressure of 200 Kg /
c m2 using the piston pump. Oil testing upto 40 Kg / c m2 is carried out
with oil pumping unit, which is permanently installed on this bed.

Element % min. % max.
Carbon 0.17 0.22
Silicon 0.10 0.50
Manganese 0.30 0.80
Chromium 12.50 14.00
Nickel 0.30 0.80
Sulphur -- 0.020
Phosphorous -- 0.030
10. Selection of Test Sample : All tests and examination shall be
performed on specimens taken in
accordance with annexure 1 from at least
one blade of each drawing per melts and
heat treatment batch.
11. Mechanical properties :
11.1 The mechanical properties of the blade material shall conform to the
following :
0.2 % proof stress : 600 N/mm2
Tensile Strength : 800-950 N/MM2
% Elongation : 15 Min.
% Reduction in area : 50 Min.
Impact Value (Average of
3, ISO – V Sample) : 20 J Min.

11.2 Tensile Test : The tensile test piece shall confirm to the gauge length.
11.3 Impact test shall be carried out on standard test piece as per ISO – V
notch according to IS : 1757.
11.4 Hardness Test : The brinell hardness test HB 30 shall be carried out
according to IS : 1500.
12. Non Destructive Test :
12.1 Blade shall only be manufactured from ultrasonically examined rare
material.
12.2 In order to ensure freedom from defects. All blades shall be subjected to
magnetic particle examination prior to shipment.
13. Dimenional Checks for Acceptance :
13.1 The supplier shall check 100% of the forgings w.r.t. to all parameters.
13.2 Dimensions parameters to be checked for acceptance.
Following dimensional parameters of each of the check sections as
specified in ordering drawing shall be inspected after fixing / clamping
the forging in vertical stand to check conformance of profile of
individual section as well as in relation to each other.
o From tolerance for pressure side = H
o From tolerance for suction side = R, max differenceR
o From tolerance for Inlet edge = H
o Twist Tolerance = (H, R) max.
Profile thickness of each section. = D Max. / D / D1
Max. profile length of each section.
Root dimensions.
Base dimensions.
Base plate contour.
Axial and tangential shift of profile with respect to root.
Overall length of forging.
Surface finish.
13.3 Procedure for dimensional checks :
Check of inlet edge: The profile of inlet edge shall be checked by
using split profile gauges.
Check of Profile : All the dimensional parameters mentioned at
(13.2) shall be checked using a vertical measuring stand.
