Here are some more information for Seal Carving:
Reputable turbine repair service engineers typically work with both portable and stationary equipment for the machining, repair and overhaul of turbine and generator components. And, working from a centrally located shop allows easier and more cost-effective repairs to be completed in a timely and less-economically challenged manner.
It's often a challenge to understand the breadth of what a solid turbine repair facility can handle, but the hope of this article is to provide insight as to what to look for, what to expect, and perhaps to help raise the pertinent questions when seeking a turbine repair company.
Turbine owners should be acutely aware of the services that turbine repair services include and should choose from a company that contains at least the following turbine repair services (albeit a condensed list):
- Machining to support upgrades and uprates
- Shell nozzle fit modifications
- State of the art inspection services
- Valve seat refinishing
- Installation of erosion shields
- Throttle, governor, main stop & control valve refurbishment
- Stud removal and re-threading of bolt holes
- Coupling and thrust collar machining
- Boring of blade carriers
- Restoration of blades and buckets
- Machining of inner cylinder nozzle chambers
- Line boring of coupling bolt holes on-site
- Overhaul of blade rings and diaphragms
- Correction of distortion and out-of-roundness
- Machining of steam inlet pipe bell seal retaining nut areas
- Milling of turbine casing fit areas
- Non-destructive evaluation of components
GTAW, FCAW and SMAW welding
While stationary component repairs should at the very least cover the following:
Complete steampath upgrades, replacement and installation
- Nozzle box reconstruction, repair and replacement
- Nozzle plate rebuilds in accordance with GE TIL 1088
- Blast cleaning of all components
- Non-destructive testing
- Horizontal joint repair and machining
- Manufacture of new inner shells
- Area checks and harmonic analysis of diaphragms
- Replacement and machining of caulked-in seals
- Dished diaphragm restoration
- Profile modifications to reduce solid particle erosion
- Diaphragm and blade ring modification for life extension
- Failure analysis and second opinions on repair recommendations
- Distortion analysis with integrated, customized seal replacement
- Sidewall restoration
- End / dummy / gland packing overhauls, upgrades, replacement
- and installation
- Major and minor weld repairs of blade rings and diaphragms
- Grinding and polishing of airfoils
- Steam valve inspections and overhauls

Tile And Plumbing: What You Need To Know
Tile and plumbing are natural neighbors. Bathrooms, kitchens and other areas that use water are often laid with tile because homeowners expect to splash it around from time to time. But those two can be good neighbors or bitter enemies.
Properly laid and sealed tile will keep water from getting into unwanted areas for decades. But sometimes caulking isn’t perfect and it can dry out and crack. Taking the time to make a good seal the first time around can prevent expensive repairs later.
One way to do that is to get tile to fit well during initial installation.
In the shower, the spout and shower head pipe often have to come through tile. Measure carefully and ensure that the hole is no larger than necessary. That will make final caulking easier and more secure.
One good way to do that is to take one or two pieces of tile and lay the pipe onto the tile, then score the tile around it. It’s possible to simply take the stated pipe size as a guideline. But people often get confused between inner and outer diameter. Stated pipe sizes are of the outer diameter and, for threaded pipes, of the threads not the pipe body.
Measuring the actual outer pipe diameter gives an exact answer. It also prevents any errors introduced from using the measurement of the threads rather than the pipe itself. These should be the same, since the threads are created by grooving the pipe, but small differences can occur.
It may be easiest to use a single tile, score it and break it in half, then use a tile saw to carve out a perfect half-circle on each half. The two pieces should fit back together very closely with only a very small gap between the pipe and tile. Using one piece broken in half helps ensure the edges will fit together accurately. Leaving only a very small gap helps reduce any caulking errors.
After fitting everything in place, seal the gap with a thin bead of caulk using a caulking gun. Before it has time to dry fully, take a very slightly damp sponge and wipe away any excess from the tile to leave a nice clean result. A wooden cuticle tool or ice cream stick makes for a handy device to ensure that the bead is even around the entire circumference of the pipe.
After it dries, inspect the results carefully to ensure there are no small gaps anywhere. This is the time when you make the difference between a well-sealed pipe or virtually guarantee a later repair job.

Is my poem any good (please read)?
This poem is about Hamlet's Ophelia who went crazy and drowned herself because Hamlet didn't love her. This poem is her thoughts while drowning:
A tide of frigid water
submerges whats left of me.
I seal my eyes shut but
images of you are all I see.
My soul was tortured
by the agony of this love unshared.
I gave my life for you
but you simply never cared.
Your name is carved
into my heart forevermore
The flame of my worship to you
boils the blood of my core
Thoughts of you plague my mind
as I have a bitter ephiphany
How can I live with myself
If the love of my life can't love me?
As I choke out my last breath,
I let out a scream, long overdue
Oh Hamlet! I am burdened with you love
And for that, I'll never forgive you...
Any suggestions?
wow that is really good. Meaning you don't need to change anything.
