VP of Measurement Solutions Dr. Matthew Zeiger commissioned an Aeroprobe fast response system at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI). TAI is an industry leader in the design, development, and manufacturing of aerospace equipment. The testing occurred on a TAI rotor whirl rig and the system commissioning spanned two full days of setup, testing, and training of TAI personnel.
Dr. Zeiger installed the five-hole fast response probe system on a TAI rotor whirl rig. The data acquisition module was setup nearby in an instrumentation trailer. The complete system was tested and acquired data within six hours of setup, and rotor tests were completed on the first day. Data analysis using AeroFlow software and training of TAI personnel completed the commissioning on the second day.
"Nobody else has a 3D velocity measurement system that can be set up from scratch, in an outdoor facility, 30 meters from an instrumentation trailer, then measure at kHz rates and be broken down, all within 6 hours. Beautiful," said Dr. Zeiger.
Dr. Zeiger has commissioned four systems this year and has over 20 years of experience in the flow measurement industry. Aeroprobe provides air data measurement systems to aerospace, automotive, turbomachinery, wind turbine, and wind tunnel testing industries around the world. Turnkey systems include instrumentation for measurement, hardware for data collection, and software for data reduction, analysis and visualization. High temperature probes operate in flows up to 1200°C. Omniprobes, featuring a 300° flow angle range, are capable of measuring reversed flow. Fast response probes provide a frequency response exceeding 4 kHz. Rake configurations allow for simultaneous multi-point, unsteady measurements. The company conducts international business through a network of over 20 distributors.
