Application of induction transducers for measuring displacements at high temperatures

Conclusions

The above transducer can be used as a basis for designing an instrument for automatic checking and control of the starting and operating of powerful steam turbines. The temperature-compensated transducer can also be used for remote contactless measurements of clearances in other machines which operate at high temperatures. The above method of temperature compensation can be used for induction transducer measurements of other quantities. There exists the possibility of increasing the temperature operating range of the transducer. However, for this purpose it may be necessary to use magnetic materials with higher Curie points, for instance, cobalt.
