Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for correlating signals generated by a sensor with a position of a plurality of rotating blades. The sensor may be positioned in the housing of a turbine, and may be used to determine a radial clearance between the tips of a plurality of rotating turbine blades during turbine testing and/or operation. The sensor can be calibrated to the rotating blades for a plurality of known axial positions, blade thicknesses and mechanically measured radial clearances between the blade tips and the housing. Characteristics of a blade passing signal generated by the sensor can be stored for a plurality of axial and radial positions of the rotatable blades. In later operation, the width of the blade passing signal and the speed of the rotating blades can be measured to determine a thickness of the rotatable blades, which can be correlated with an axial position of the rotating blades relative to the sensor. The determined axial position is then compared to the stored sensor calibration data to determine an accurate radial clearance between the rotating blades and the housing. A method for using a plurality of sensors separated by a known distance is also disclosed. The plurality of sensors are used to create a plurality of calibration curves correlating the output from the sensors to mechanically measured radial clearances between the sensors and the rotating blades. In operation, output from the sensors, along with the known distance between the sensors, is used to select one of the plurality of stored calibration curves in order to determine an accurate radial clearance between the rotating blades relative to the sensors. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
