heal.abstract	Water is always present in the atmospheric air in the form of vapour, affecting the operation of turbomachinery components in gas turbine engines. Due to water presence in the working medium, condensation may occur, which can influence the thermal performance of the component and alter the measurements taken for calculations. This can lead to erroneous evaluation of component performance parameters during development performance tests. Procedures to detect condensation and if possible to correct the measurements during engine or component test should be used to avoid such situations. A method allowing the prediction of condensation and the correction of the measurements for low speed expansion is presented. The method is implemented in turbine testing measurements where condensation occurs and the results show that condensation may be predicted and its effects corrected.	en
