    BIRKOSIT - Sealing Compound Application Procedure

    Uploaded by

    Project Sales Corp
    BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® is primarily used for sealing surfaces in steam turbines, gas turbines, compressors and pumps. It is applied in three main steps: 1) sealing internal surfaces like guide blade carriers, 2) squeezing off turbine surfaces between pressure stages using BIRKOSIT and gasket paper, and 3) closing casing halves of pressure stages by applying a thin layer of BIRKOSIT to the joint surfaces. The product is suitable for pressures up to 120 bar and temperatures up to 600 degrees Celsius and fills any surface irregularities to create an effective seal. Reconditioning or replacement is generally needed every 5-10 years depending on use.

    Application:

    Principal area of application in steam turbines and gas turbines, compressors and pumps

    Application guidelines for the product, BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ®


    Pressure/temperature conditions in the turbines
    [individual pressure zones]
    -> Defined by type of turbine
    -> Generally, the critical point for pressure is the turbine inlet
    (~70 bar)
    -> Generally, the critical point for temperature is the turbine inlet
    (~500 Grad)
    -> Special case, turbine type "H" - 'pushed up':
    Turbine inlet is critical point
    (~120 bar/ 600 degrees) -> e.g. HNG 4056
    [our product is also used]
    Relevant working steps
    1) Internal sealing surfaces (joints) - guide blade carriers

    [BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® is applied with a brush]


    -> Consumption on average 1 to 2 tins
    [WORK STEP 2 DEPENDS ON THE TYPE OF TURBINE]
    2) Squeezing off the turbine surfaces /pressure stage

    [BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® is used together with the gasket paper and applied with a spatula]
    -> Consumption on average 2 to 3 tins
    3) Closing the casing halves of the pressure stage

    [Apply BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® to the joint surfaces thinly with a brush]
    -> Consumption on average 3 to 5 tins [individual pressure zones]
    Individual steps in stage 3
    1) Remove the hard top layer [protective layer] from the tin with a spatula.
    2) Mix in linseed oil until a proportion of 1/10 is reached.
    3) Apply to the joint surfaces with a brush.
    4) Spread thinly.
    5) The joint surfaces must be dry and machined
    [and rubbed down] to the required precision.
    6) Close the pressure stage casing halves.
    7) BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® WILL FILL ANY SURFACE IRREGULARITIES.
    8) Any excess BIRKOSIT - sealing compound ® will be squeezed out of the joint.
    Important note on work step 2
    - Preparing the surfaces using engineering blue
    -> Apply blue to sealing surface of one casing half
    -> Match up second half (with blue print) exactly
    [work unevenness of first half into second]
    Important note on work step 3

    The joint surfaces are milled with high precision [Ra = 0.8 to 1.2 µm]. In order provide the BIRKOSIT -
    sealing compound ® with an optimum adhesion surface, the joint surfaces are briefly ground using a
    finishing sander with 60-80 grade disc [where manufactured with sufficient precision not necessary].
    Reconditioning intervals
    - between 5 and 10 years
    [or calculated in operating hours]
    Product use by end-customers
    - between 3 and 10 years
