Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / gas turbines

Dutch term or phrase: rondloopcontrole

This term appears in a document relating to the overhaul of a gas turbine.

Unfortunately, I have no further context apart from the occurrences in the text which are as follows:

1. Koppelen LD1-/LD2-turbine en rondloopcontrole, eventueel correctie

2. Koppelen LD2/generator en rondloopcontrole, eventueel correctie

3. Maken rondloopcontrole, + aslijnmeting

4. Rondloopcontrole en vastzetten

Sorry I can't provide any more info. The remainder of the text is just as obscure, with lists of bearings, stuffing boxes etc. that need to be checked

English translation:walk-around inspection

Explanation:
I think that's how they call it.

"Conduct a thorough walk-around inspection, checking for damage, fluid leaks and fluid levels."

6 mins confidence:

walkaround inspection

Explanation:
I think the technicians literally walk around the turbine to check (visually) that everything's OK.
