Abstract:
A blade airfoil including a platform, concave pressure sidewall and convex suction sidewall extending axially between corresponding leading and trailing edges and radially between a root and outboard tip. The blade further includes at least one part-span shroud positioned on the airfoil defined by a nominal profile in accordance with at least a portion of Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in at least one of TABLE I and TABLE II. The Cartesian coordinate values are non-dimensional values of from 0% to 100% convertible to distances by multiplying values by a length of the at least one part-span shroud. X and Y values are connected by continuing arcs to define part-span shroud profile sections at each distance Z along at least a portion of the at least one part-span shroud, profile sections at Z distances being joined with one another to form the nominal profile.
