«Our first repair involved using DURMETAL® Standard to repair a
leaking transformer tank. The actual repair and downtime was
approx. 1 hour, where the only alternative would have taken approx.
5 hours. Therefore we estimate a savings of about $ 300.–.» |
«Patched the sight glass on 11,000 volt oil circuit breaker insulator
bushing. Oil was leaking, and this patch saved us 8 hours
downtime plus the cost of a new sight glass.» |
 |
 |
«Repair made to cooling fins. This repair was invaluable since we
are a mining company and pumping 500 gallons of water per
minute.» |
«This Power Station repaired a heat exchanger head and cover.
Without this repair, the station would have shut down, costing
thousands for each day of downtime.» |
 |
 |
«The pipe between the flange and high voltage bushing mounting
was broken away from the weld. Manufacturer recommended
that this pipe should not be welded in place and suggested your
DURMETAL® Coldwelding System®. As these bushing mounts
are part of the transformer top, the whole top would have had to
be removed, transformer oil taken out and either filtered or
replaced with new oil. Time spent on preparation and repair with
DURMETAL® Kit was 1 hour. Estimated savings on labour and
material $ 800.–.» |
«Picture of a high voltage bushing in a 24/40 MVA transformer,
voltage 138 KV to 12 KV. This bushing flashed over to ground and
punched a small hole in the upper capacitor portion, allowing the
oil to leak out. Repairs were made with DURMETAL® Rapid within
1 hour. Otherwise, to lower the oil in the transformer, change the
busing out and refill the transformer, would have taken a crew of
4 men approx. 8 hours.» |

«We repaired an Allis Chalmers three phase regulator, rated 69 000
V, MVA. It had an oil leak located at the ribbing connected to the
tank which holds 3 600 gallons of oil. Downtime would have been
at least 3 days if we had not had DURMETAL® Rapid. This
amounted to savings of approx. $ 4 000.–.» |
«I am enclosing a picture of a turbine repair where we used
DURMETAL® to seal off the steam flow path under the newly
installed spill strips. DURMETAL® was applied over 8 months ago
in the low pressure section of a 60 MW turbine. The results of this
repair to date has shown us an increase of 15% in the efficiency
of this unit.» |

«5 000 KVA transformer valued at $ 58 000.–. It had been shot
with a rifle, causing a severe oil leak. We lost 605 gallons of oil
before we found out what happened. The patch repair took only
about 10 minutes, and we never lost power to this station which serves 500–600 services.» |
«Repairs made on a auxiliary transformer and the oil cooler
manifold. There was a second leak on the opposite side, up
against the transformer where the manifold was welded to the
tank. We had the transformer out only 30 minutes and saved 8
hours downtime and $ 3 000.–. You have a great product!» |

«We were successful in stopping a leak in a weld on the drain of one of our 2 500 KVA transformers. This saved us considerable downtime
and trouble. This has been repaired in the past with an epoxy but did not hold.» |
