Steam Turbine Seal Strip Repairs

Steam Turbine Seal Strip Repairs

In steam turbines, seal strips are critical components that control steam flow, prevent leakage, and protect efficiency across high-pressure and low-pressure sections. Over time, these precision-engineered strips are exposed to extreme temperatures, vibration, and erosion—conditions that can wear them down and compromise turbine performance. When seal strips become damaged or distorted, even minor leakage can...
