Air Flow System for


Turbine Engine Component Testing

The TrigasDM Air Flow Test Stand is a Sonic Nozzle (Critical Venturi) based air flow measurement system
and the culmination of more than 30 years of continually expanding the state of the art in gas flow measure-
ment precision and reliability. It has been designed to take full advantage of the Sonic Nozzle’s capability for
highly accurate and repeatable measurement over a wide flow range. In this configuration, it measures the
air flow through gas turbine engine components for both airborne and land-based applications.

It is designed with flexibility and expandability in mind as


each Turbine Engine manufacturer has unique testing
specifications that must be met not only by them, but their
suppliers as well.
Accuracy, repeatability, throughput and operational
readiness are critical elements in the design of these
test systems. Our air flow test systems currently comply
with the in-house testing requirements of GE (formerly
Alstom), Franke, Coatec Praxair, Chromalloy, Rolls Royce,
Krohne Messtechnik etc.

Software
The LabVIEW™ based computer software
not only accurately calculates gas flow, but
also controls the selection of nozzles required to
achieve it by opening and closing of appropriate
flow paths. It controls the inlet pressure and air
flow operating conditions in order to ensure that
the nozzles are in the critical (“choked”) state
and the flow is stable. Test configuration files can
easily be created, saved and retrieved and test
results organized for transmission or printing.
