Pressure Sensor Sensitivity
Can Change Over Time

If a sensor reads high, your team may investigate a false alarm;
if it reads low, elevated combustion dynamics may go unnoticed.
Verify the measurements before making
critical maintenance decisions.

Why Choose On-Site Calibration Service?

Confidence in Combustion Dynamics Data

Know that the pressure sensors supporting turbine diagnostics have been checked.

Better Troubleshooting

Optional electrical simulation and loop checks help isolate instrumentation faults.

Reduced Outage Disruption

Avoid shipping delays and coordinate calibration with planned maintenance.

Fewer Unnecessary Replacements

Identify faulty components before replacing pressure transducers, cables, or charge amplifiers unnecessarily.

 


Questions about Our Services? Let’s help!

Follow your turbine OEM's recommendations, and consider calibration during combustion inspection outages or whenever sensor performance is in question. On-site calibration helps verify sensor performance while avoiding the shipping delays associated with off-site service.

On-site calibration avoids shipping delays and transportation risks and can help minimize disruption to planned maintenance and turbine outages.

Sensor calibration can be combined with electrical simulation and channel loop checks to help identify faults in the sensor and associated measurement hardware.

Our team may be able to address multiple instrumentation needs during a single scheduled service visit. Contact us with your specific needs to learn more about availability for your visit.

  • Combustion dynamics monitoring system channel loop checks via electrical simulation
  • Removal & re-installation of gas turbine dynamic pressure sensors
  • Calibration of proximity probes, accelerometers and velocity sensors
  • Training on Modal Shop portable vibration calibrator
  • Generator assessment for advanced rotor condition monitoring system via wireless telemetry

If hosting our Field Service Technicians on-site presents challenges, The Modal Shop also offers calibration services for combustion pressure sensors in our calibration lab in Cincinnati, Ohio. But on-site services eliminate the risk of outage extension, sensor damage or loss in transit.

Re-certification of gas turbine pressure transducers aids in troubleshooting acoustic monitoring systems. When conducted in conjunction with pressure sensor electrical simulation, any faulty components of the measurement chain are easily identified for replacement. Knowing which hardware is failing – if any – allows instrumentation teams to save the expensive cost of replacing the pressure transducer, cabling or charge amplifier.
