AF-36M Airflow Rig. Nozzle Airflow Measurements

Abstract

This report summarizes an ongoing effort by the Army to determine an appropriate method for accurately and repeatably measuring turbine engine nozzle components. It further documents the effort expended to establish an Industry Standard method of determining the performance characteristics of these components which may be correlated between manufacturing and test facilities based on measuring their Effective Flow Area (EFA) as opposed to their Geometric Flow Area (GFA). Keywords: Test methods; SF-36M Airflow rig; Test stands.
