In Situ Machining is a process to repair or reconstruct paper machines, steam turbines, compressors, pumps, presses, petrochemical process reactors, marine and industrial diesel engines, welded or flanged piping systems on site. Complementary services to in situ machining include non-destructive testing techniques, optical and laser alignment and heat treatment.
The expression and the technique “In Situ Machining” is used generically and can be anything between a simple 1” tube chamfer that takes five minutes to the rectifying of a three meters diameter sealing surface of a reactor that takes days.
Machining on site is to mill, turn, cut, drill, grind, rectify, bore, lap or ream at the equipment location.
