Abstract

The largest penstock corrugated pipe expansion joint in the world has recently passed the acceptance test at the TGP work site. This expansion joint is huge in size, unique in structure and high in accuracy requirement, and the welding deformation of all dimensions is strictly controlled. Its workmanship is of high reference value for design and manufacture of penstocks for other power stations.
