ABSTRACT:
A measurement device for measuring the wear of turbo-machine components to reduce the likelihood of component failure while a turbine-machine is at load. The measurement device is capable of measuring and calculating a distance between surfaces while the turbo-machine is at load. The distance may be compared with a measurement taken of the same location at another time to determine wear of a surface remote from the location of the measurement. The measurement device may be configured such that multiple measurements may be made on a single turbine engine by moving the measurement device from location to location.
