ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, a pyrometer adapter is disclosed for providing the optical head of a pyrometer access to a target area in a gas turbine engine, where the pyrometer adapter is subjected to relative motion between a first mounting surface and a second mounting surface, the pyrometer adapter including an outer tube having a first end mounted to the first mounting surface of the gas turbine engine and a second end terminating in a flange, and a second tube positioned radially inward of and in concentric arrangement with the outer tube, wherein the second tube extends through an opening in the first mounting surface so that the second tube is mounted at its first end to the gas turbine engine at the second mounting surface adjacent the target area and the pyrometer optical head is attached to a second end of the second tube, where the second tube also includes a flange extending from a middle portion thereof which is attached to the flange of the outer tube to form a flexible diaphragm which accommodates the relative motion between the first and second mounting surfaces.
