‘Turbine Blades’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Resources company selects Able gas flowmeter from Able Instruments and Controls, which we summarised at the time by saying "A global resources company has replaced its existing turbine flowmeter with the new portable ultrasonic gas flowmeter from Able Instrument and Controls to ensure reliability and accurate measurement.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Softinway to exhibit at Power Gen International from Softinway: "Softinway will participate in the Power Gen International 2009 event at the Las Vegas Convention Center 8-10 December.".

In November 2009, we covered the news from Hepcomotion - take a look at Hepcomotion rings produced in dedicated cell which says: "Hepcomotion is able to supply single-piece rings in diameters up to 1.8m, which are produced in a dedicated machining cell, giving improved lead times. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), FAG Dtect prevents power-turbine failure at Corus, as well as Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions, and Turbine producer adopts NSK cost-saving programme from NSK UK.
