摘要:
A method (700) for inspecting a wye ring in a generator includes the steps of dismantling (710) the generator to gain access to the wye ring (720) and at least a portion of a rotor, applying a test signal to the rotor and measuring (730) an inductive voltage at two or more locations near the wye ring. A comparing step (740) compares results from the measuring step to determine if a fault exists in the wye ring. A predetermined difference in inductive voltage measurements indicates presence of the fault.

In an electrochemical machining tool assembly having at least one electrode (26) arranged across a gap (34) from a workpiece (12), the electrode being energized by application of a potential difference ΔV between the electrode and the workpiece, a method of monitoring machining includes exciting at least one ultrasonic sensor (42) to direct an ultrasonic wave toward a surface (102) of the electrode and receiving a reflected ultrasonic wave from the surface of the electrode using the ultrasonic sensor. The reflected ultrasonic wave includes a number of reflected waves from the surface of the electrode and from a surface of the workpiece. The method further includes delaying the excitation of the ultrasonic sensor a dwell time T d after a reduction of the potential difference ΔV across the electrode and the workpiece occurs.
摘要:
A method of inspecting a preselected area (16) of an electrically conductive component (10) to determine whether flaws (14) are present. The method includes the steps of permanently mounting an eddy current element (22) on the component (10) over the preselected area (16) and energizing the element (22) to generate alternating magnetic fields proximate the component (10). An electrical signal generated by a secondary magnetic field formed proximate the component (10) is detected using the element (22) and the detected electrical signal is compared to a reference signal to determine whether the detected signal is different than the reference signal. Differences indicate the presence of a flaw (14) in the component (10). Inspection apparatus (12) for performing this method is also disclosed.

Apparatuses 100 useable in an offshore drilling installation close to the seabed 110 for controlling well influx within a wellbore are provided. An apparatus includes a centralizer and flow constrictor assembly 128, a sensor 154 and a controller 157. The centralizer and flow constrictor assembly are configured to centralize a drill string 112 within a drill riser 106 and regulate a return mud flow 118. The sensor 154 is located close to the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly and configured to acquire values of at least one parameter related to the return mud flow. The controller 157 is coupled to the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly and the sensor. The controller is configured to control the centralizer and flow constrictor assembly to achieve a value of a control parameter close to a predetermined value, based on the values acquired by the sensor.
摘要:
A valve body 118 in a passage 116 of a housing 110 connected to a through hole 14 in a sealed machine casing 12 can allow an inspection apparatus 106 into an interior of the casing 12 when open, and prevents fluid flow through the passage 116 when closed. Seals can engage the inspection apparatus to prevent fluid flow through the passage 116 during inspection or inspection apparatus movement. A guide conduit 200 in the casing 12 can include branches and can guide the inspection apparatus 106 to multiple inspection sites. Guide marks can identify the branches to assist with navigation within the casing 12.
