Tools and Shop .quipment
A mechanic must be supplied with the proper tools to facilitate his jobs. Many special tools arerequired for different machines, so as to ensure proper disassembly and reassembly. Torque wrenches should be an integralpart of his tools, as well as of his vocabulary.
The concepts of ""finger tight"" and ""hand tight"" can no longer be appliedto high-speed, high-pressure machinery. A recent major explosion at anoxygenplant, which resulted in adeath, was traced back to gas leakage due to improper torquing. A good dial indicator and special jigs for taking reverse indicator dial readings is a must. The jigs must be specially made for the various compressor and turbine trains. Special gear and wheel pullers are usually necessary.
Equipment for heating wheels in the field for assembly and disassembly are needed; specially designed gas rings are often used for this purpose.
A maintenance shop should have the traditional horizontal and verticallathes,mills, drill presses, slotters,bores, grinders, and a good balancing machine. A balancing machine can pay for itself in a very short time in providing a fast turnaround and accurate dynamic balance. Techniques to check the balance of gear-type couplings for the large high-speed compres-sorsand turbine drives, as a unit should be developed. This leads to the solving of many vibration related problems. High-speed couplings should be routinely check-balanced.
By dynamically balancing most parts, seal life and bearing life is greatlyimproved, even on smaller equipment. Dynamic balancing is needed on pumpimpellers, as the practice of static balance is woefully inadequate. Verticalpumps must be dynamically balanced; thelong, slender shafts are highly susceptible to any unbalanced-induced vibration.
This assembly and disassembly of rotors must be in a clean area. Horses or equivalents should be available to hold the rotor. The rotor should rest on thebearing journals, which must be protected bysoft packing, or theequivalent, to avoid any marring of the journals. To accomplish uniformshrinkfits, the area should have provisions for heating and.or cooling. A special rotor-testing fixture should be provided; this is very useful inchecking for wheel wobbles, wheel roundness, and shaft trueness. Rotors in long-term storage should be stored in a vertical position in temperature-controlled warehouses.
