Dear users,

do you have any ideas how to perform an experimental measurement of forces/moments on a turbine outlet nozzle (DN 1400)? it is possible to measure some "deformation" on the flange (or somewhere close) for example via tensometers? do you have any ideas/experiences? can you tell me if a "standard" for this kind of mesurement exists?

any advice will be welcomed

Thanks!

On my previous experience which is not so large turbine. We have requested the turbine vendor to provide us with the displacements at the nozzles..

In my case, I´m talking about a steam turbine which is operating more than ten years.We have any technical documentation, nothing. Only the manufacturer is known, but no chance to got some technical documentation...

still awaiting for any tips...
