Technological capabilities

A shop meant for assembling liquid propellant rocket engines, turbine-driven pumps, and other kinds of produce meets all the cleanliness and climate regulations. The shop has got a cable trunk-manufacturing division. 

The shop and is equipped with the following: 

• testing sites for pneumo-testing for hermeticity using air-helium mixture;
• testing sites for electro-testing;
• noise-gauging chamber;
• isothermal chambers, etc.

The shop meant for assembling gas-turbine power stations is capable of producing 24 items a year and can be used for assembling gas-compressor units and the like. The shop is equipped with all the necessary pick-and-place devices and has all the conditions needed for assembling gas-turbine machinery.

Manufacturing of high- and low-pressure pipelines, motion and temperature compensators, bellows, filters, and high- and low-pressure tanks. 

These are meant for:

• operating in corrosion environments;
• under high pressure;
• when extreme cleanliness of enclosures and precision of hydraulic characteristics as well as great reliability are needed;

Bending of pipes:
Maximum pipe diameter: 63 mm;
Maximum wall thickness: 4 mm 

Welding:
Manual argon-arc welding 
Automatic welding 
Resistance spot welding 
Contact seam welding
Friction welding 

Testing:
Hydro-testing for durability in armored cabins 
Pneumo-testing for hermeticity with air-helium mixture
Pneumo-testing for hermeticity through hydro-tank dipping 
Blowing and flushing of hydraulic and gas component parts for identification of actual hydro-dynamic characteristics 
Vibration testing
Noise testing  

Nondestructive control methods: 
X-ray control 
Color defect inspection
Luminescent method 
Ultrasonic control  

The enterprise has a testing complex consisting of a proving ground and a hydraulic and model testing shop.

1. Field testing of Liquid Propellant Rocket Engines
   • The main testing site is fit for engines with thrust up to 250 tons.
   • The company carries our all types of testing for RD-276, the first-stage launcher used as part of propulsion systems of Proton-M LV.
2. Blowing and flushing
   • Flushing of turbine-driven pumps;
   • Blowing of wheels, nozzles, straightener blades, basic parts, and collectors of gas turbines
   • Testing of starter units of aero-engines and gas-turbine plants
   • Flushing and blowing of combustion devices, gas-generators, and injection holes
   • Testing of bearings and gaskets
   • Testing of pipelines and pipe fittings (including flow adjusters and flow-regulating valves)
   • Rotations per minute: up to 12,500 rpm, flow rate: up to 295 l/sec, working pressure: up to 200 atm
3. Testing of gas-turbine units
   • Open testing site for PS-90A aero-engine;
   • Closed testing site for gas-turbine units with capacity of 10 MW, 12MW, 16 MW, 25MW.
4. Testing of Ural Series gas-turbine power stations
   • The gas-turbine power station testing site was designed for controlling the quality of the assembling and installation process and for acceptance tests of Ural Series gas-turbine power stations with capacity of 2.5MW, 4 MW, 6 MW.
   • The testing site makes it possible to carry out all the tests and adjust all the settings right on the premises of a producer factory, which means that the power stations are much better prepared for operation;
