Abstract

The jig 1 is used for positioning an inner tube and a transition piece of a combustor for a gas turbine when assembling the combustor. The jig 1 has the alignment member 2 that is inserted into the transition piece when positioning the transition piece to determine an installation position of the transition piece. The alignment member 2 has an outer circumferential shape which is substantially the same as an inner circumferential shape of the transition piece.

Claims (8)

1. A jig for positioning an inner tube and a transition piece of a combustor for a gas turbine when assembling the combustor, in a state where the transition piece is temporarily installed in the chamber, the jig comprising:

an alignment member that has an outer circumferential shape which is substantially the same as an inner circumferential shape of the transition piece and inserted into the transition piece to determine an installation position of the transition piece;

a support that is fixed to an installation portion of the chamber, where a top hat for retaining the inner tube is installed, by fastening a bolt; and

a rod that is fixed to a center of the alignment member at an end with a longitudinal axis thereof being perpendicular to the surface of the alignment member and is fixed to the support at the other end, wherein

an outer diameter of the outer circumference is smaller than an inner diameter of the transition piece so as to form a gap between the outer circumference and the transition piece, and

the alignment member is a circular disk including a plurality of holes or concaves to reduce a weight of the alignment member.

2. The jig according to claim 1 , wherein when an inlet portion of the transition piece has a circular inner circumference, the alignment member has a circular outer circumference.

3. The jig according to claim 1 , wherein the alignment member has the outer circumference that permits measurement on at least four points when positioning the transition piece.
