Thermal Growth, Horizontal
Thermal Growth (Horizontal) Screen
This screen shows a top view of the coupled machinery. Horizontal thermal
growth can be entered in this top view of the coupled machines. Thermal
growth values (mils or mm) should correspond to the amount each shaft
will move at each foot. If thermal growth is negligible, enter zeroes at all
locations. One entry field at each set of feet must be zero. The range of
values that can be entered are 0 to 250 mils and 0 to 6.35 mm.
Note
If negative horizontal thermal growth numbers are entered, the
system will change them to positive numbers.
The Up Arrow will scroll from the right side to the left side at each set of
feet, then onto the next set of feet to the right. The Down Arrow will scroll
in the opposite direction. Press the Enter key to accept the values; you will
then be returned to the Main menu.
Note
Thermal Growth values measured by the UltraSpec Thermal
Growth application can be transferred to the UltraSpec
ProAlign Plus program. Refer to the UltraSpec Thermal
Growth User’s Manual for more information.
