General
This TASK gives the procedure to examine the stages 3 to 8 HP compressor discs. For other parts of the stages 3 to 8 HP compressor discs refer to TASK 72-41-11-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in SPM TASK 70-20-01-200-501.
All the parts must be cleaned before any part is examined.
All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. All defects that are not identified in this procedure must be referred to IAE.
The procedure for those parts which must have a crack test is given in Step. Do the test before the part is visually examined.
Do not discard any part until you are sure that there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in the repair before a discarded part is used again or over size parts are installed.
Parts which should be discarded can be held although no repair is available. The repair of a discarded part could be shown to be necessary at a later date.
All parts must be examined to make sure that all the repairs have been completed satisfactorily.
The practices and processes referred to in the procedure by the TASK/SUBTASK numbers are in SPM.
All of the temporary marks made in this procedure must be removed before the component is assembled.
HP compressor stages 3 to 8 drum cleaning procedure:
For all standards of drum, an aqueous cleaning method can be used as necessary, but a nitric acid solution chemical cleaning process is mandatory to clean and remove the potential remaining silver from drums that have operated with any standard of silver coated nut in the stage 8 cavity.
Polythene or cotton gloves must be must be worn to prevent surface contamination from handling after cleaning process.

Procedure
Repair, VRS6220 TASK 72-41-11-300-011 (REPAIR-011), SUBTASK 72-41-11-323-051
Drill to remove shank nuts.
Refer to SPM TASK 70-11-35-110-501.

CAUTION
IF THE PART IS PROCESSED WITHOUT A MASK, THE COATING MUST BE REPLACED.NOTE
Step gives the procedure to replace the removed shank nuts.Mask all metal sprayed or other plated coatings.

CAUTION
POLYTHENE OR COTTON GLOVES MUST BE WORN TO PREVENT SURFACE CONTAMINATION OF THE COMPONENT FROM HANDLING AFTER CLEANING PROCESS.Prepare the part for cleaning.
NOTE
If the part has operated with any standard of silver coated nut (up to and including SB 72-0596) installed in the stage 8 cavity do TASK 72-41-11-110-001.NOTE
If the part has never operated with any standard of silver coated nut (up to and including SB 72-0596) installed in the stage 8 cavity do TASK 72-41-11-100-001.Clean the part. Refer to TASK 72-41-11-100-001 (CLEANING) or TASK 72-41-11-110-001 (SPECIAL PROCEDURE).
SUBTASK 72-41-11-110-136 Clean the HP Compressor Discs
Reject.
NOTE
Optimum emulsification time is to be found by trial. It is recommended to use water filled stop bath to end the emulsification process. Refer to SPM TASK 70-23-04-230-501, SUBTASK 70-23-04-230-003. Do a water wash and use a suction hose to remove pooled liquid from cavities.After wash and drying operation, apply CoMat 02-005 ADHESIVE TAPE (MASKING) to the remaining ceramic liners.The mask will prevent glare during inspection, from fluorescent penetrant which soaks into the ceramic.Use high intensity Ultra Violet (UV) light source with correct UV light guide to illuminate the inner cavities and examine with mirror or borescope. If it is difficult to apply sufficient dry powder developer in the inner cavities, then apply CoMat 06-030 NON AQUEOUS DEVELOPER to get the necessary inner surface coverage. Use IAE 2R19883 Rotary table inspection device and IAE 2R19884 Adapter drum, to rotate the drum and to get the necessary wet surfaces in the inner cavity (NMSB 72-0637).
Pitted.
Do a visual inspection of stage 8 HP compressor disc inner cavity profile, Location 10. Use white light source to illuminate and examine with mirror or borescope.
NOTE
Use IAE 2R19883 Rotary table inspection device and IAE 2R19884 Adapter or equivalent inspection equipment for fluorescent penetrant inspection of internal surfaces (NMSB 72-0637). Refer to Figure.Do an overall crack inspection of HP compressor stages 3 to 8 drum.
Do an general crack test. Refer to SPM TASK 70-23-04-230-501.
SUBTASK 72-41-11-230-118 Do a General Inspection on Stages 3 to 8 HP Compressor Discs for Cracks

CAUTION
YOU MUST MAKE SURE ALL THE TAPE IS REMOVED AFTER THE INSPECTION.NOTE
Use fluorescent penetrant inspection SPM TASK 70-23-04-230-501 or NMSB 72-0637. Using NMSB 72-0637 will earn longer ultrasonic inspection grace periods. Refer to NMSB 72-0637 for detail of grace periods.NOTE
Use ultra high sensitivity fluorescent penetrant, for the inspection of all the components and for focus inspection of specified areas in this SUBTASK.Inspect according to TASK 72-41-11-230-002, Subtask 72-41-11-230-104.
