Abstract

This angle measurement method is a method of measuring an angle of a variable vane of an axial flow fluid machine including a vane main body which is disposed inside of a casing, and an arm which is disposed outside of the casing and rotates integrally with the vane main body, and includes: a jig mounting step of mounting a measurement jig configured to measure an angle of the vane main body on the arm in a fixed posture in a rotation direction of the arm; and a measurement step of measuring a relative angle between a predetermined angle reference surface intersecting the rotation direction of the arm and at least a portion of the measurement jig.

Claims (14)

1. An angle measurement method which is a method of measuring an angle of a variable vane of an axial flow fluid machine including:

a vane main body which is disposed inside of a casing; and

an arm which is disposed outside of the casing and rotates integrally with the vane main body,

the angle measurement method comprising:

a jig mounting step of mounting a measurement jig configured to measure an angle of the vane main body on the arm in a fixed posture in a rotation direction of the arm; and

a measurement step of measuring a relative angle between a predetermined angle reference surface intersecting the rotation direction of the arm and at least a portion of the measurement jig,

wherein in the measurement step, a gap between a facing part of the measurement jig, which comes into contact with the predetermined angle reference surface intersecting the rotation direction of the arm and is parallel thereto in a case where there is no deviation of a vane angle in the vane main body, and the angle reference surface is measured.

2. An angle measurement jig for measuring an angle of a variable vane of an axial flow fluid machine including:

a vane main body which is disposed inside of a casing; and

an arm which is disposed outside of the casing and rotates integrally with the vane main body,

the angle measurement jig comprising:

a guide part which is capable of being mounted on the arm in a fixed posture in at least a rotation direction of the arm; and

a facing part which comes into contact with a predetermined angle reference surface intersecting the rotation direction of the arm and is parallel thereto in a case where there is no deviation of a vane angle in the vane main body,

wherein the facing part includes a side or a surface which comes into contact with the angle reference surface and is parallel thereto in a case where there is no deviation of a vane angle in the vane main body.
