Recommended Practices for Measurement of Gas Path Pressures and Temperatures for Performance Assessment of Aircraft Turbine Engines and Components (Les Methodes Recommandees pour la Mesure de la Pression et de la Temperature de la Veine Gazeuse en Vue de l'Evaluation des Performances des Turbines Aeronautiques et de leurs Composants
Abstract
The Advisory Report summarizes the results of the Propulsion and Energetics Panel Working Group 19. It is of interest to engineers concerned with steady state testing of aircraft turbine engines and their components, and provides information on gas path pressure and temperature measurement techniques and instrumentation. Manufacturers and research institutions throughout the world have developed their own practices for measurement techniques and instrumentation. These practices vary significantly, leading to confusion and misunderstanding between researchers, development organizations, contract agencies and customers. The trend towards multi-company and multi-national engine projects increases these difficulties. The goal of this report is to recommend practices, the application of which will generate confidence through a common understanding, which will increase the quality of the data obtained. The recommended practices described address component and instrumentation, and the problems of interpreting the information obtained in terms of spatial and temporal resolution. Measurement uncertainties are discussed in detail. Keywords: Components of gas turbines, Component testing, Instrumentation, Measurement of uncertainty, Performance of gas turbines, Pressure measurement, Temperature measurement, Sensor design, Turbine engines, French translations.
