Steam Turbine Acquisition and Archiving Maintenance of Operating Data Procedural Instruction

This document provides guidelines for acquiring and archiving operating data from steam turbines to allow for post-event analysis in the event of faults or damage. It specifies what data should be collected, including power output, speed, steam pressures and temperatures. Data should be archived from the electronic monitoring system and logs maintained of alarms and switch operations. Documentation such as reports, printouts and statistics on availability should be retained for various time periods, ranging from the service life of the turbine to the next inspection, to allow for warranty claims and life expectancy analysis.
