Common Information

TASK 72-00-00-200-011 Engine General - Do An Ultrasonic Inspection For Root Debond On The LPC Fan Blades, Inspection-011

General

The TASK gives the procedure for the ultrasonic inspection of the LP Compressor fan blades. For the inspection of the other parts of the engine, refer to TASK 72-00-00-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).

NOTE

Disassembly is included in TASK 72-31-00-030-001. ASSEMBLY is included in TASK 72-31-00-430-001.

Any blade rejected should be returned to the address that follows for further investigation:

Rolls Royce plc
NDT Laboratory
Sinfin 'A' Site
Victory Rd
Derby DE24 8BJ
England
ATTN: Product Support Manager - V2500

Normal procedures in accordance with TASK 72-31-11-200-002-B00 (INSPECTION/CHECK-002) must be followed prior to each blade.

After each inspection, the information that follows should be recorded and sent to IAE:

Engine number in which the blade had been installed.

Fan blade part number, serial number and life achieved since new in hours/cycles.

The inspection record can be copied for recording and reporting purposes and, as a T.A.P. test inspection is required in TASK 72-00-00-200-010 (INSPECTION/CHECK - 010) the reading obtained can be added to the inspection record, Figure.

NOTE

To identify the consumable materials refer to the PCI.

NOTE

Special tools are identified in the procedure by the tool primary number.

Procedure

    1. SUBTASK 72-00-00-490-051 Calibrate the Ultrasonic Equipment for the Airfoil Inspection

    2. Refer to Figure.

    3. Set the instrument to pulse echo mode, set the frequency at 5 MHz and switch off any reject or signal filtration and alarms. Turn the timebase delay to zero.

    4. Apply CoMat 06-148 ULTRASONIC COUPLANT and put the probe on the IAE 2R18939 Ultrasonic calibration block 1 off and adjust gain to identify the signals produced by two side slots.

    5. Move the probe left and right until the centre line of the probe is over the edge of the slot and the two slot signals are of equal amplitude.

    6. Adjust the range control to position the first signal from the top slot at 1.0 division of the time base 0.394 in. (10.0 mm.) and the first signal from the bottom slot should be at 1.8 division of the time base 0.709 in. (18.0 mm). Adjust the gain to bring the amplitude of both signals to 50 percent screen height.

    1. SUBTASK 72-00-00-270-051 Examine the Airfoil of the LP Compressor Fan Blades

    2. Refer to Figure and Figure.

    3. Apply CoMat 06-148 ULTRASONIC COUPLANT to the area of the lower concave airfoil.

    4. Put the probe on the airfoil approximately 3.543 in. (90.0 mm) up the blade and 1.575 in. (40.0 mm) in from the leading edge. A backwall signal from the solid section should appear between 1.0 and 1.5 on the time base.

    5. Slide the probe in towards the centre of the airfoil to monitor the backwall signal. When the probe passes over the end of the solid section and onto the hollow section, the signal between 1.0 and 1.5 will reduce and the hollow backwall signal at approximately 0.8 will rise.

    6. NOTE

      1. It may be necessary to increase the gain to clearly see both backwall signals.

      NOTE

      1. If there is a gap between the solid backwall disappearing from the screen and the hollow backwall appearing after increasing the gain, move the probe out towards the leading edge until the solid backwall appears.

      Move the probe left and right to equalize the two signals from the hollow and solid backwalls, the probe is now set exactly over the edge of the hollow section.

    7. Carefully remove the probe from the blade. Leave an impression of the probe in the gel and mark the centre of the impression with a cross.

      1. Move the probe 0.197 in. (5 mm) towards the root and repeat Step to Step. Repeat every 0.197 in. (5 mm) down the bottom of the blade.

      2. V2500-A1 On the fan blade the base of the cavity is under the root block and cannot be detected.

      3. V2500-A5 On the fan blade continue to check and mark across the base of the cavity.

    8. Repeat steps B. to G. for the trailing edge.

    9. Connect the crosses together and observe the shape of the cavity.

    10. Put the IAE 2R18940 Perspexoverlay 1 off (V2500-A1) or the IAE 2R18941 Perspexoverlay 1 off (V2500-A5) on the airfoil. Compare the shape of the blade cavity with the cavity marked on the overlay. The cavity shape may not align fully with the cavity line marked on the overlay, but it must be the same shape. Movement of the blade cavity parallel to the overlay cavity line is acceptable. Refer to Figure and Figure for acceptable and unacceptable deviations. Because the relative position of the cavity and the external shape is not constant, a positional mismatch of 0.156 in. (4.00 mm) maximum is acceptable.
