Abstract
A test rig that reproduces high temperature and high pressure conditions found in a gas turbine engine for testing materials under these conditions. The test rig is formed of a plurality of modules connected in series to form the test rig. A specimen rotation module is connected to a mechanical load module, which is connected to a combustor module, which is connected to a test section module on which one or more test specimens are placed, which connects to an exhaust section module, which is connected to a thrust bearing & air inlet section module. The modules are cylindrical in shape and connected in series to form a compact test rig.
