QUALITY CONTROL FACILITIES
As in BHEL Customer Focus is of prime significance, Quality Control Function
assumes vital role. Quality Control facilities get priority in investment planning. The
Group is equipped with the state-of-the-art testing, measuring and analytic facilities.
This chapter covers Facilities existing in various sections under Quality Management
Deptt.
1.0 FACILITIES IN QUALITY CONTROL – TURBINE BLOCK
Each Quality Control Station is equipped with conventional measuring
instruments as well as sophisticated testing machine to suit the inspection
requirements of the related area. Some of the important facilities are:-
i) CNC 3D Coordinate Measuring Machine – a fully computer controlled
modern machine for automatic inspection of complex or precision
components of size upto 2000x1200x1000 mm. The important features of
this machine are high-speed computer, versatile software, universal probe
head for scanning, digitization and plotting of known and unknown curves
etc.
ii) 2-D Coordinate Measuring Microscope – Used for highly accurate and
precise measurements of small and intricate components of the turbine.
The machine is equipped with multiple feature digital readouts of resolution
0.0001 mm, a separate light generator connected through fiber cables for
better accuracy, optical templates for various inspection purposes etc.
iii) Vibration Measuring Equipments – Three no. of vibration measuring
equipments are available for checking of blade frequency at various stages.
iv) Portable hardness testers it is being used for checking of hardness of
plane hardened- Nitrided and stellited components. It can measure upto a
range of HV 999.
v) MPI Machine – This is used for carrying out magnetic particle test for crack
detection on finished blades.
vi) Surface Finish Measuring Equipment – This is used for checking the
surface finish of machined components. Can measure in R, Rz and Ra.
Hardness Testers of different configurations

HYDRO TURBINE LABORATORY
1. INTRODUCTION
Hydro Turbine Laboratory at HEEP, Hardwar was set up in late '60s. It comprises
of three Test Beds with electronic Instrumentation Laboratory for test bed
operation/maintenance and for carrying out Site Investigations. It has a modest
Workshop to manufacture hydro turbine models. Till December '95 about 160
number of tests have successfully been performed in the Laboratory which
include Contractual as well as Developmental tests on Hydro Turbine Models,
Calibration of Hydraulic Valves, Nozzles and Flow Measuring Devices for 210
MW Thermal Sets. Besides performing the main function of design/ development
of hydraulic passages of hydro turbines, design of models, their manufacture and
testing, the Laboratory has also been engaged in Field Test Studies at various
Hydro Power Sites for conducting Index Tests, Head Loss Measurement,
Uprating Studies and attending to various Site Problems.
2. DESIGN:
3. MANUFACTURING:
4. TESTING:
5. TESTING CAPABILITIES:
- Runaway speed tests of reaction and impulse turbine.
- Determination of MW output of prototype turbine under specified operating
conditions.
6.4 INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY
The Instrumentation Laboratory is equipped with the most modern
instrumentation for carrying out accurate measurements during testing in the
Laboratory as well as during field testing. The major facilities are:
- Ultrasonic Flowmeter for field tests.
- Magnetic Tape Recorder with Waveform Analyzer.
- Microprocessor based Pressure Pulsation Measuring System.
- Microprocessor based Wicket Gate Torque Measuring System.
- Microprocessor based Hydraulic Thrust Measuring system.
7. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The continuous inhouse research and development efforts of the Laboratory
have enabled it to establish new measurement methods for carrying out special
tests, to bridge know-how / know-why gaps, to resolve certain site problems and
to evolve and establish better and more efficient designs. The benefits of
research and development activities are passed on to the customers through
implementation of new concepts of existing sites and for future projects.
8. FIELD TESTING
The Laboratory is equipped to perform field efficiency and index tests on
prototype turbines at hydropower sites. Many site problems of hydraulic and
mechanical nature have been successfully solved as a result of extensive filed
tests and analysis carried out by the Laboratory. The Laboratory has successfully
carried out uprating studies at many hydro sites resulting in augmentation of
power generating capacity of the units at no extra or minimum cost. Extensive
work has been done by the Laboratory to tackle the problem of silt erosion of
runner blades at several hydro power stations situated in the Himalayan region.
9. CALIBRATION
The Laboratory is equipped with the required facilities for calibration of load cells,
pressure pulsation transducers, weights, volumetric tanks and torque wrenches.
Calibration of these terms is performed with respect to standards with history
traceable to N.P.L., Delhi.
10. FUTURE PLANS
Upgradation and modernization of Hydro Turbine Laboratory has been planned
in the following areas:
- Renovation of Test Beds to the cater for the requirements of IEC-995.
- Modernisation in the field of instrumentation.
- Addition of instantaneous in-siti calibration facility.
- Incorporation of Computerisation and Data Acquisition System
- Modernisation of Workshop facilities.
