Noun 1. Shell J-Groove Weld Prep machine, or "J-Groove." The J-Groove is specially designed to work on reactor pressure vessel Pressure vessel A cylindrical or spherical metal container capable of withstanding pressures exerted by the material enclosed. Pressure vessels are important because many liquids and gases must be stored under high pressure. nozzles to remove old weld material. The procedure prepares the nozzles for dye penetrant inspection Dye penetrant inspection (DPI), also called liquid penetrant inspection (LPI), is a widely applied and low-cost inspection method used to locate surface-breaking defects in all non-porous materials (metals, plastics, or ceramics). , re-welding, and subsequent blending of newly welded areas to the shell contour contour or contour line, line on a topographic map connecting points of equal elevation above or below mean sea level. It is thus a kind of isopleth, or line of equal quantity. and nozzle An orifice in an inkjet print head through which ink is sprayed onto the paper. Print heads with six thousand or more nozzles are common in today's printers. Nozzle exit radius. Uddcomb will use the J-Groove in more than 20 areas with nozzle connections within each of three reactors.
