Demanding material tests on gas turbines demonstrate the extremely high quality of LTT measurement technology
Material testing is important because it ensures that a material has the required properties such as strength, hardness, toughness, or corrosion resistance. This allows you to:
In short, material testing prevents damage, failures, and accidents by ensuring that materials can withstand their conditions of use.
Material testing on gas turbines places particularly high demands on measurement technology, as these turbines are exposed to extreme forces. This is precisely why the components of these turbines must be extensively tested. The stability of the turbine blades is particularly important here in order to prevent idling and potentially dangerous accidents.
The predictability of material failure is crucial in this regard. The durability of the material under investigation can be determined by appropriate material testing. The data collected can then be used to make adjustments to the components of the gas turbines. Increased durability of a gas turbine can reduce costs in the long term and, last but not least, also benefits the environment.
Our LTTsmart is used for material testing at a leading German manufacturer of gas turbine components, as such measurements are subject to extremely high requirements. It can be used to collect electrical data in long-term recording and analyze it with the appropriate software. The resulting vibration analyses then provide an approach for improving the material. For measurements such as these, where extremely high precision is required, LTT's measurement technology is unbeatable.
The LTTsmart, which we also offer as a power analyzer, is the perfect measurement data acquisition system for industrial environments. Thanks to its modular design, the measuring device can be flexibly adapted to any individual measuring task. Optional carrying handles also ensure convenient use in mobile applications.
