Abstract
A simple-to-implement technique for measuring radial clearances with controlled precision due to decreasing random components of errors is considered. The quantitative estimates of precision, performance, and efficiency of the proposed technique are provided. This technique is stochastic, is based on characteristics of random errors and on periodicity of blade wheel rotation, and allows obtaining the measurement results with uniform precision in the entire range of rotation speeds of the turbomachine rotor. The considered technique makes it possible to avoid procedures for approximating numerical readouts.
