Rotor Life Assessment & Extension

The Design Service Life of a gas turbine rotor can be based on statistical predictions of component life, based on an assumed operational mission mix; each rotor component is influenced differently by operational stresses, temperatures, and duty cycles. We look at the Gas Turbine Rotor & Compressor Rotor. A Rotor Life Assessment & Extension service can help decide if component repair, replacement, or use is the best option for your gas turbine rotor to meet operational and maintenance forecasts.

To provide the best solutions for your gas turbine rotor, MD&A evaluates your specific needs in addition to assessing rotor inspections:
