The Exhaust Temperature Control Curve is vital for turbine longevity. Operators monitor the Exhaust Temperature Spread—the variance between thermocouples located around the exhaust plenum. A high spread typically indicates a clogged fuel nozzle, cracked transition piece, or combustion misalignment, which can lead to thermal stress on the turbine blades. Vibration Thresholds
