Abstract:
A turbine bucket having a bucket airfoil shape in an envelope within Â±0.160 inches in a direction normal to any airfoil surface location wherein the airfoil has a nominal profile substantially in accordance with Cartesian coordinate values of X, Y and Z set forth in Table I wherein Z is a non-dimensional value along a bucket centerline coincident with a radius from a turbine axis of rotation convertible to a Z distance in inches from said turbine axis by multiplying the Z value by a height of the airfoil and adding that product to a root radius of the bucket and wherein X and Y are distances in inches defining the airfoil profile at each distance Z, the profiles at the Z distances being joined smoothly with one another to form a complete airfoil shape.
