摘要： One method empirically determines a stiffness value for each of two or more different subsets of the bristles of a brush seal, then calculates a variation in stiffness, and then identifies the brush seal as defective if the calculated variation in stiffness exceeds a predetermined stiffness variation criteria. One apparatus includes a load transducer having a contact head sized to contact less than twenty percent of the bristles, a displacement transducer which measures the displacement of the free ends of the contacted bristles, and a clamp for securing the brush seal and presenting the bristles for contact.

摘要： A seal assembly and a rotary machine, such as a steam turbine, containing the seal assembly. A casing circumferentially surrounds a rotor and includes a circumferential channel open to the rotor. Seal segments are circumferentially arrayed in the channel and are movable between radially inward and outward positions. Circumferentially adjacent seal segments have circumferentially opposing surface grooves. A resilient and imperforate member is engaged in the grooves of circumferentially-adjacent seal segments circumferentially urging apart such segments and providing sealing between such segments.

摘要： A fuel nozzle centering assembly and method employ bodies of a substantially wearable and sacrificial material mounted to an outer periphery of a tip of a burner fuel nozzle for a gas turbine combustor. The tip of the fuel nozzle extends through an opening of an annular collar attached to a liner of a main combustion chamber of the gas turbine combustor and an outer periphery of the tip is disposed radially inwardly from the annular collar such that the bodies of sacrificial material are disposed between the outer periphery of the fuel nozzle tip and the annular collar of the liner and space the fuel nozzle tip from the liner collar. The bodies of material prevent the fuel nozzle tip from contacting the liner collar during assembling of the fuel nozzle into the liner. The bodies wear away substantially upon initial operation of the combustor such that the bodies will reduce contact with the liner collar during further operation of the combustor and the fuel nozzle tip will remain spaced from and out of contact with the liner collar during operation of the combustor.

摘要翻译： 燃料喷嘴中心组件和方法采用安装在用于燃气轮机燃烧器的燃烧器燃料喷嘴的末端的外周的基本上可穿戴和牺牲材料的主体。 燃料喷嘴的尖端延伸穿过连接到燃气轮机燃烧器的主燃烧室的衬套的环形轴环的开口，并且尖端的外周从环形轴环径向向内设置，使得牺牲材料体 设置在燃料喷嘴头的外周边和衬套的环形套环之间，并且使燃料喷嘴尖端与衬套相交。 在将燃料喷嘴组装到衬套中期间，材料体防止燃料喷嘴尖端接触衬套。 在燃烧器的初始操作时，物体基本上磨损，使得在燃烧器的进一步操作期间，主体将减少与衬套的接触，并且在燃烧器的操作期间燃料喷嘴头将保持与衬套的间隔开和脱离接触 。
