Abstract

There is provided a method for measuring a contact force applied to each tube constituting a tube bundle disposed in a fluid from a vibration damping member by using a probe inserted into each tube. Characteristic data defining a relationship between a value measured by the probe and the contact force is previously prepared. Then, the probe is inserted into the tube, and the contact force is calculated using the measurement value of the probe, based on the characteristic data.
