Importance of Metrology & Quality Control
- Ensures dimensional and structural integrity of critical components
- Supports precision manufacturing and safe operation of turbines, generators, and energy systems
- Helps maintain efficiency, reliability, and longevity of power equipment
- Aids in failure prevention and predictive maintenance
Applications in Power Generation
- Thermal Power Plants (Coal, Gas)
- Inspection of turbine blades, rotors, valves, and heat exchangers
- Wear analysis of boiler tubes and combustion chambers
- Hydroelectric Plants
- Dimensional verification of runner blades, shafts, bearings, and casings
- Monitoring erosion and cavitation damage on water-contact surfaces
- Nuclear Power Plants
- High-precision measurement of fuel assemblies, control rods, and reactor components
- Strict adherence to nuclear-grade quality and safety standards
- Renewable Energy (Wind, Solar)
- Inspection of wind turbine components like gearboxes, hubs, and shafts
- Verification of solar panel frame structures and mounting hardware
Benefits for the Power Generation Sector
- Improves operational safety and performance reliability
- Enhances predictive maintenance and minimizes downtime
- Increases inspection accuracy and manufacturing precision
- Ensures compliance with stringent international standards (ASME, ISO, IEC)
- Supports life extension programs and root cause failure analysis
