Zusammenfassung:A support ( 1 ) for a reflective target to be mounted on a turbine casing, which is used in casing bending measurements. The support ( 1 ) comprises a tube ( 2 ), which was chosen to ensure a thermal expansion coefficient near zero at the operating temperatures of the casing. The tube ( 2 ) is located at one end in a steel holder ( 3 ). In the middle of the tube ( 2 ) is arranged a metal rod ( 9 ), which is fixed to the holder ( 3 ). At the opposite end of the tube ( 2 ) is an insert ( 7 ), which has an apertures through which passes the metal rod ( 9 ). Within the insert ( 7 ) the metal rod ( 9 ) is screw threaded so it can be turned to provide always enough tension at all operating temperatures and the metal tube ( 9 ) is held tight, secure, and has minimal vibration.
