Section 2 Particulars to be submitted

2.1 Plans and information

2.1.1 At least three copies of the following plans are to be submitted.

  • Sectional assembly.
  • Casings.
  • Combustion chambers and heat exchangers.
  • Rotors, bearings and couplings.
  • Blades and blade attachments.
  • Inlet and exhaust ducting.
  • Securing arrangement (including details of resilient mounts where applicable).
  • Control engineering aspects in accordance with Pt 16, Ch 1 Control Engineering Systems.
  • Fuel oil system schematic, including controls and safety devices.
  • Lubricating oil system schematic.
  • Starting system schematic.
  • Cooling water system schematic, where applicable.

2.1.2 The following information and calculations are to be submitted.

  1. Details of the acoustic enclosure fire detection and extinguishing system, where applicable.

  2. Power/speed operational envelope.

    Calculations and information for short term high power operation, where applicable.

    Operation and Maintenance Manuals.

  3. Calculations of the critical speeds of blade and rotor vibration, giving full details of the basic assumptions.

    An analysis of the effect of a rotor blade failure and any details of service experience, see Pt 10, Ch 2, 4.3 Containment.

  4. High temperature characteristics of the materials, where applicable, including (at the working temperatures) the associated creep rate and rupture strength for the designed service life, fatigue strength, corrosion resistance and scaling properties.

    Particulars of heat treatment, including stress relief, where applicable.

    Material specifications covering the listed components together with details of any surface treatments, non-destructive testing and hydraulic tests.

2.1.3 The most onerous pressures and temperatures to which each component may be subjected are to be indicated on plans or provided as part of the design specification.

2.1.4 Calculations of the steady state stresses, including the effect of stress raisers, etc. in the turbine and compressor rotors and blading at the maximum speed and temperature in service are to be submitted. Such calculations should indicate the designed service life and be accompanied, where possible, by test results substantiating the limiting criteria.

2.1.5 Details of calculations and tests to establish the service life of other stressed parts, including gearing (where applicable), bearings, seals, etc. are also to be submitted. All calculations and tests should take account of all relevant environmental factors including particular type of service and fuel intended to be used.

2.1.6 Components fabricated by means of welding will be considered for acceptance if constructed by firms whose works are properly equipped to undertake welding of the standards appropriate to the components. Details are to be submitted for consideration.

2.1.7 Before work is commenced, manufacturers are to submit for consideration details of proposed welding procedures and their proposals for routine examination of joints by non-destructive means.

2.1.8 The manufacturer's proposals for testing the gas turbine are to be submitted for consideration.

2.1.9 A Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is to be submitted as detailed in Pt 9 General Requirements for Machinery.
