The drive for quality GE defines quality in customer terms: on-time delivery of machinery that performs as promised, reliably, throughout its life cycle, at an acceptable price. Our total quality program began in the late 1980s and paved the way for Six Sigma which, since the mid-90s, has provided data-driven tools for analyzing procedures and processes in order to reduce the possibility of defects. The company’s success with Six Sigma exceeded the most optimistic predictions, and the program continues to be the main driver of the GE quest for leadership in manufacturing quality. Lean...

Centrifugal and axial compressors Reciprocating compressors Centrifugal compressor tests Standard full-load testing uses one point to verify the mechanical behavior of a complete string at the maximum power and maximum continuous speed, running without similarity law conditions. Centrifugal compressors are carefully tested throughout the manufacturing process in order to guarantee an optimal match to their design criteria and to assure long-lasting, continuous operation. The following tests are typically carried out on components and assembled machines: • Casing: hydraulic pressure test •...
