Thermal and Residual Stress Measurement
Thermal and Residual Stress Measurement
Thermal Stress Measurement typically supports power plant performance testing, gas and steam turbine performance testing, fired and recovery steam generator testing, compressor performance testing, plant performance monitoring and diagnostics, and air‑flow component testing.
2. Mechanical Testing
Mechanical Testing focuses on vibration measurement and analysis, torque and torsional vibration analysis, strain gauge measurements, reciprocating compressor diagnostics, and Experimental Modal Analysis (EMA/OMA/ODS).
3. Residual Stress Measurement.
Residual Stress Measurement includes proven approaches such as X‑ray diffraction, hole drilling, ring coring, contour methods, and Mechanical Strain Release (MSR) techniques like sectioning, layering, and slitting.
Our products in the field of Residual Stresses and Cultural Heritage Conservation
- MTS3000 – RESTAN: Automatic system for measuring residual stresses using the hole drilling method, in accordance with ASTM E837.
- MTS3000 – Ring Core: Automatic system for measuring residual stresses in metallic materials using the ring coring semi‑destructive technique.
