Turbine Blade Erosion
- Turbine blade erosion can lead to decreased performance and blade failure
- Pitting may occur before vibration analysis can detect a problem
- Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods such as Remote visual inspection (RVI) or digital radiography (DR) can rapidly assess blade condition, and equipment can be scheduled for more detailed preventative maintenance.
