Macro approved for steam turbine
position sensors
Macro position sensors have been approved for replacement duty on Siemens-Westinghouse and GE steam turbines, for use on governor valves, throttle valves, reheat/stop valves, and other control valves
Macro Sensors, a sensor company specializing in the manufacture of LVDT-based linear position sensors and gauging probes, is an approved vendor for LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transducers) position sensors used on Westinghouse steam turbines and for LVRT (Linear Variable Reluctance Transformer) position sensors used on General Electric steam turbines Siemens-Westinghouse and GE implement the LVDTs and LVRTs, respectively, for position measurement on governor valves, throttle valves, reheat/stop valves, interceptor valves, and many other control valves
