  • Methods for testing turbine blades
    Patent number: 9188504
    Abstract: Methods for testing turbine blades. One method for testing turbine blades includes measuring dimensions of each of a first set of turbine blades. The method also includes testing airflow through first openings in each of the first set of turbine blades to determine airflow properties of each of the first set of turbine blades. The method includes determining a relationship between the dimensions and the airflow properties of each of the first set of turbine blades. The method includes measuring dimensions of each of a second set of turbine blades. The method also includes determining airflow properties for each of the second set of turbine blades based at least partially on the dimensions of the second set of turbine blades and the relationship.
