GAS TURBINE INSPECTION CAPABILITY BREAKTHROUGH 1st In-situ Application of UT NDE Detects GE 7FA Dovetail Blade Cracking Read About It Here Advanced Turbine Support, (ATS) offers a diversified portfolio of Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods for industrial gas turbine combustion, stationary and rotating components for all gas turbine OEM models and frame sizes. We provide all of the basic surface inspection services you expect, plus a complete internal advanced borescope inspection providing the detailed data you need for critical decisions regarding your gas turbine. WE WILL BEAT ANY COMPETITIVE U.S. STATIONARY or ROTATING COMPONENT INSPECTION PRICING BY 10%! We at ATS pride ourselves on being a cutting edge industrial gas and steam turbine, stationary and rotating component inspection company for all gas and steam turbine and electric generator OEM models and frame sizes, that develops and offers inspection services that you can't get anywhere else. We have twelve highly skilled and experienced inspectors available to meet your inspection needs. ATS Inspection Services Include: • Eddy Current Inspections of the Frame 5, Frame 7EA and 7FA S-0, S-1, S-2 stator vanes to detect cracking that has lead to stator vane failures on numerous gas turbines. • R-0 and R-1 phased array ultrasonics on the 7FA rotor blades to detect cracking on the P-Cut and Standard Compressor Blades. We have identified cracked standard R-0 blades on 30% of the units inspected. • R-1 Eddy Current Inspections to detect cracking at the blade platforms. • Remote Blending of the R-1 blades (7FA) and R-2 blades (7EA) to remove cracks and impact damage without case removal. • Remote shim removal and or grinding on the S-0 to S-2 compressor shims per TIL 1562.
