Abstract
A fuel channel flatness measuring system. A stationary measuring unit which allows measuring of two sides of fuel channels without detaching the fuel channel from the crane send warp and axial position electronic signals to conditioning electronics which amplify and digitize the signals for computer use. A computer analysis unit receives the signals and processes and corrolates them to generate a contour profile of the entire length of the measured fuel channel. Fixed and spring loaded rollers mounted on the measuring unit and in rolling contact with the fuel channel guide the fuel channel and allow the movement caused by warp which results in the generated signals.
