Solution: Thermal and Residual Stress Measurement
Thermal and Residual Stress Measurement
Thermal Stress Measurement typically involves Power Plant Performance Testing, Gas and Stream Turbines Performance Testing, Fired and Recovery Steam Generator Testing, Compressor Performance Testing, Plant Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics, Air Flow Component Testing, Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics.
Mechanical Testing focuses on Vibration Measurement and Analysis, Measurement and Analysis of Torque and Torsional Vibrations, Strain Gauge Measurements, Reciprocating Compressor Diagnostics, Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA, OMA, ODS).
Residual Stress Measurement Focuses on X Ray Diffraction, Hole Drilling, Ring Coring, Contour, Mechanical Strain Release (MSR) methods such as Sectioning, Layering and Slitting.
Our products in the field of Residual Stresses and Cultural Heritage Conservation
- MTS3000- Restan – Automatic system for measuring residual stresses by the hole drilling method, according to ASTM E837 standard.
