Abstract

See full text

A sensor system includes a sensor and processing means adapted to process the signals from the sensor, and to provide a distance measurement or estimate from the sensor to a metallic object of interest, such as a turbine blade. The sensor, typically an eddy current sensor, provides a signal to which the processing means fits a curve, and parameters including pulse width and height are taken from the fitted curve and used in calculating the distance measurement or estimate. Look-up tables may be used to produce the measurement or estimate. Average values of the parameters may calculated to reduce random noise effects and may be subsequently used to produce correction factors to correct instantaneous measurements.
