Wind Turbine Inspection Resources
Compare methods by the surface, signal, evidence and decision they support. Every product value stays beside its stated operating condition and source boundary.
Resource library
Choose a guide by evidence need.
Start with the method guides for planning, use the sample report to review output structure, then send the configuration checklist for a product-specific discussion.
What a 70% coverage figure is scoped to
Separate the documented coverage value from the timed scenario, and write a coverage requirement that can be checked on completion.
Plan coverageMeasuring clearance on a moving target
What a stated clearance accuracy bounds, why acquisition rate belongs beside it, and what a retained event has to carry.
Compare monitoringReading rotor imbalance from the ground
Why vibration alone cannot separate mass imbalance from pitch imbalance, and what a ground-based optical measurement adds.
Review the methodPAUT vs TOFD vs radiography
Compare what each NDT method responds to, what its governing standard scopes, and where a surface method cannot substitute for a volumetric one.
Compare NDT methodsPhased array ultrasonic testing, FMC and TFM
Separate array acquisition, full matrix capture, TFM reconstruction and procedure-dependent acceptance.
Read the PAUT guideFive ways to verify bolt tension
Ultrasonic measurement, a bench calibrator, DTI washers, tension-control bolts and hydraulic tensioning, compared on what each evidences and when it can still be asked.
Compare verification methodsBolt torque chart and preload calculator
ISO 898-1 proof loads for 8.8 and 10.9, the T = K·F·d example torque behind any chart, and a calculator that shows what the nut factor is hiding.
Open the chart and calculatorTorque vs tension: bolt preload methods
Compare what each pretensioning method controls, and where conformity is evidenced by process rather than by a measured force.
Compare preload methodsUltrasonic bolt tension measurement
Understand time-of-flight-based preload, calibration controls and the boundary between tightening and NDT.
Review bolt measurementSample internal blade inspection report
See how capture reference, location, review state and disclosure notes can be organised in a structured record.
View the sample reportConfiguration input checklist
Gather the asset, access, environment, evidence and integration details that affect technical suitability.
Open the checklistFrom sensing to retained evidence
Follow the boundary between physical sensing, processing, assisted review and a final human-reviewed record.
Review the evidence chainConfiguration checklist
Six inputs for a useful first review.
The objective is to establish what must be measured, under which conditions and what evidence must be retained. Product selection follows from those inputs.
Send configuration details- 01
Asset and component
Turbine or component type, geometry, material, age and known constraints.
- 02
Access and installation
Available openings, mounting position, cable route, safe working area and access window.
- 03
Operating environment
Temperature, visibility, precipitation, vibration and relevant site exclusions.
- 04
Evidence required
Images, measurements, raw data, event records, structured report or controller interface.
- 05
Decision and acceptance
The engineering decision, reporting standard and acceptance criteria the output must support.
- 06
Integration boundary
Data protocol, controller ownership, cybersecurity requirements and responsibilities between parties.
Product documentation
Match the document to the configuration.
Data sheets, interface descriptions and drawings may vary by model and project configuration. Tell us the model and intended application so the appropriate revision can be reviewed.
