Abstract
The present application provides a cooling hole location system for locating a cooling hole in a gas turbine component, wherein the cooling hole is covered by a thermal barrier coating. The cooling hole location system may include a light source positioned on a first side of the gas turbine component and an optical detector positioned on a second side of the gas turbine component. The optical detector detects light from the light source visible through the thermal barrier coating covering the cooling hole.
