Turbomachinery Package Specification

Taurus 60 Compressor Set and Mechanical Drive

 

 

4.2.7Hydrostatic Testing

Hydrostatic pressure testing of all compressor casings and end caps is done per API 617 for 30 minutes at 1.5 times the maximum casing design pressure, regardless of application. Test water is treated with a wetting agent to allow better penetration of possible casing defects. After the hydro and final magnetic particle test, the casing is steam cleaned and bead blasted for surface preparation. Afterwards, it is painted per Solar’s specification ES 9-58.

4.2.8Shaft Coupling

Solar’s standard shaft interconnect is a Kop-Flex dry coupling.

4.2.9Preliminary Alignment

The drive train is aligned preliminarily at the factory to simplify final field alignment.
