Technical documentation · Turbomachinery
Handbooks, field procedures and calculation sheets for gas turbines, compressors and rotating equipment — written from three decades of installation, commissioning and start-up.
The library
Comprehensive reference companion to the field procedure: alignment foundations, thermal growth, pipe strain, bearings, vibration, multi-element trains and troubleshooting, with six annexes.
Lean, step-by-step procedure from setting and preliminary alignment to final alignment, with hold points, check sheets and sign-off records.
Rim-face and reverse-dial calculations, sag correction, soft-foot check, foot corrections and shim plan, with a schematic 3D view. Metric or imperial.
Receipt, storage and site preservation of turbines, compressors and auxiliaries, with inspection intervals and record forms.
Flushing preparation, temporary arrangements, flow and temperature cycling, sampling and cleanliness acceptance records.
Screening of piping forces and moments on machine nozzles against the applicable standard envelope, with a clear pass / review summary.
How rotor axial load is controlled and how gland sealing protects bearings, clearances and condenser vacuum — explained for site teams.
Estimates machine thermal growth and converts it into cold alignment targets for driver and driven equipment.
Formats
In-depth references that explain the why behind each step: theory, practical examples, typical problems and their solutions.
Ready-to-adapt field procedures with hold points, check sheets and sign-off records. Insert your project data and issue.
Excel workbooks with protected formulas and clearly marked input cells. Results, tolerance checks and printable reports.
Bundle
Coming soonThe handbook, the field procedure and the calculator in one package — the reference, the method and the tool, designed to be used together.
How it works
Company and team licences available on request.
The author
Every document is written by a senior turbomachinery professional, with a career spanning engine rooms, OEM field service and the mechanical management of major LNG, pipeline and power projects.
Installation, commissioning and start-up experience covers aeroderivative and heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, centrifugal, axial and reciprocating compressors, cryogenic pumps, expanders and generators.
“Hope, luck and trust are not engineering tools.”
FAQ
Yes. Procedures are provided as editable templates. Adapt them to your project, then review and approve them through your normal document process. OEM instructions and project specifications always take precedence.
Input cells are open; formula cells are protected to keep the calculations intact. Results are clearly flagged against the tolerances you enter.
A standard licence covers one named user. Company and team licences are available on request. Files may not be resold or redistributed. Full conditions are in the Terms & licence.
Corrections and revisions to the edition you purchased are included at no extra cost.
No. The documents are technical references and tools. They do not replace project-approved documentation, OEM requirements or the judgement of a qualified engineer. See the Disclaimer.
