Measurement guide

What to Measure Before Qualifying Replacement Refiner Segments

Measurements should reconstruct the mounting and set definition. Worn surfaces require engineering judgment before they are treated as original geometry.

Measurement categories

Set identification

Rotor/stator side, segment quantity, layout, rotation or refining direction.

Outer / inner geometry

OD, ID, radial length, thickness and relevant seating surfaces.

Mounting

Bolt circle, hole quantity/diameter, countersink/counterbore and locating features.

Pattern reference

Bar/groove direction and measurable unworn reference areas where legally usable.

Do not clone wear

A worn sample can preserve mounting geometry while losing the original bar height, groove depth or edge condition. Reconstructed pattern geometry should be explicitly reviewed and approved.

Controlled measurement workflow

01

Identify

Mark rotor/stator side, segment position and direction.

02

Datum

Establish repeatable mounting and seating datums.

03

Measure

Capture critical fit dimensions separately from worn refining features.

04

Reconcile

Compare sample measurements with any lawful drawing or historical record.

05

Approve

Freeze a buyer-approved manufacturing definition before tooling or production.
