Steam Turbines

Sensonics instrumentation offers both monitoring of the dynamic behaviour of a steam turbine as well as providing the essential measurement interlocks for the smooth operation of the plant. Our range of velocity vibration transducers offers both piezoelectric and electrodynamic options for the measurement of bearing and casing vibration. For shaft vibration, eccentricity, position and differential expansion our Senturion X range of proximity probes provide 2mm to 25mm measurement range options to meet with a wide variety of applications. For valve position and casing expansion, our LVDTs are recognised as providing accuracy and longevity in the most demanding applications.

To provide the sensor signal conditioning our Sentry G3 supervisory system has tailored measurement algorithms for steam turbine applications. From eccentricity determination on barring through to complex differential expansion setups, Sensonics has the experience to provide the right measurement, for both new and existing turbine installations. Condition monitoring is available through our optional CMS plug-in providing a suite of analysis tools to monitor the detailed dynamic behaviour of the turbine set.
