IN-SITU SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DETERMINING COATING INTEGRITY OF TURBOMACHINERY COMPONENTS

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to a method of operating an inspection system, including a sensor and heating element operably coupled to a control module, to determine in-situ a coating integrity for a turbomachinery component within a turbomachinery system, the method comprising the steps of: placing the sensor and heating element at a distance from the desired turbomachinery component to be examine, operating the heating element for a predetermined amount of time, operating the sensor to detect an output from a surface of the turbomachinery component, and operating the control module to compare the output with at least one integrity parameter.

1. A method of operating a system, including a sensor and heating element operably coupled to a control module, to determine in-situ a coating integrity for a turbomachinery component within a turbomachinery system, the method comprising the steps of:
(a) placing the sensor and heating element at a distance from the desired turbomachinery component to be examined; (b) operating the heating element for a predetermined amount of time; (c) operating the sensor to detect an output from a surface of the desired turbomachinery component; and (d) operating the control module to compare the output with at least one integrity parameter.
