Abstract

The present invention relates to a turbine bucket to be provided at the low pressure last stage of a steam turbine and an object of the present invention is to provide a turbine bucket in which the adjacent blades are connected without using a connecting member at a blade intermediate portion. In order to achieve the object of the present invention, a turbine bucket of the present invention is formed in such a manner that the blade sectional configuration is twisted from a blade root portion to a blade tip side, and when assuming two axial directions in a blade section of the bucket on horizontal plane and taking one axial direction as X axis and the other axial direction perpendicular to X axis as Y axis, the blade sections at predetermined heights from the blade root portion of the turbine bucket are formed in a range of ±0.3 mm from respective points defining blade section configurations as shown respectively in chart 1, chart 4, chart 7, chart 10, chart 13, chart 16 and chart 18.

Claims (1)

1. A stream turbine bucket, characterized in that the blade length of the steam turbine bucket is 660 mm, the steam turbine bucket is provided with a shroud which is formed integral with the blade portion at a blade tip portion of the bucket, the shroud is connected through contact with a like shroud formed for an adjacent steam turbine blade, and the blade is configured into a structure having a vibration characteristic with no resonance under a use condition in a rated r.p.m. of the bucket without providing a coupling member at the intermediate of the steam turbine blade.
