| Description | Crown plate is placed on the scroll case of the 150,000 horsepower turbine for main unit L-3. A test ring (which does not show in this photograph) and the crown plate are temporarily assembled on the scroll case for the purpose of making the hydrostatic test. Water pressure of 175 pounds per square inch is maintained in the scroll case throughout the test. It is then reduced to 145 pounds per square inch and held there while the scroll case is embedded in concrete.
