Alignment of Steam Turbine

This document provides instructions for aligning a steam turbine coupling with a reduction gear and generator. It describes how to measure angular and parallel alignment using dial indicators at various positions on the coupling. Allowable measurement values are provided for the turbine-gear alignment and gear-generator alignment. Alignment is considered satisfactory if dial indicator readings fall within the allowable ranges. The document also notes that alignment calculations are performed using readings from 12, 3, 6, and 9 positions to determine designed values according to NDPS experience.

ALIGNMENT CALCULATIONS

When execute the alignment procedures you take readings of dial indicator on 12,3,6
and 9 positions but the values must be as above, therefore the readings of dial
indicator shall be satisfactory these values.
The readings of dial indicator called designed value as write it NDPS experience but
we can not know how them calculate after analysis by mathematic methods we note
that as follow:

-(D+E) R -(D-E)

-2D
