Common Information
TASK 72-45-00-200-002-A00 HPT Stage 2 Air Seal - Examine, Inspection-002
General
This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 2 HPT air seal. For the other parts of the HP turbine rotor and stator assembly, refer to TASK 72-45-00-200-000 (INSPECTION/CHECK-000).
Fig/item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.
All the parts must be cleaned before any part is examined. Refer to TASK 72-45-00-100-000 (CLEANING-000).
All parts must be visually examined for damage, corrosion and wear. Any defects that are not identified in the procedure must be referred to IAE.
The procedure for those parts which must have a crack test is given in SUBTASK 72-45-00-230-054. Do the test before the part is visually examined.
Do not discard any part until you are sure there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in Repair before a discarded part is used again or oversize 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 numbers are in the SPM.

Procedure
Refer to Figure.
Do inspection of HPT for possible oil ignition event. Refer to TASK 72-45-00-200-801. Report all findings to IAE Technical Services.
Soot or oil
Examine the air seal for soot and oil at location 1.
SUBTASK 72-45-00-220-173 Examine the Stage 2 HTP Air Seal (01-080) for Soot and Oil

CAUTION
MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO THIS INSPECTION BEFORE YOU CLEAN THE PART OR CLEANING PROCEDURE WILL REMOVE THE INDICATION OF SOOT AND OIL.Refer to Figure
Clean the Part. Refer to the TASK 72-45-00-100-000 (CLEANING-000).
Repair, VRS3207 TASK 72-45-00-300-004 (REPAIR-004)
Cracks that go into the base metal at the knife edges, Location 1
NOTE
If the crack originates at the fillet radius (outer diameter side) and extends through to the inner diameter side, reject the HPT stage 1 hub HPT Stage 1 Hub (72-45-11, 01-011), HPT stage 2 hub ENGINE-STAGE 2 TURBINE HUB (72-45-31, 01-011) and HPT stage 1 air seal - rear ENGINE-STAGE 1 AIR SEAL (REAR) (72-45-15, 01-020).Cracks found in the front fillet radius
NOTE
Refer to Step for cracked coating on the knife-edge seals.Cracks that go into the base metal at locations other than the knife-edges or front fillet radius
NOTE
When you inspect the seal for cracks make sure you check the important areas. These areas are shown in Figure.Do the test for cracks on the part that is given below. Carefully examine fillet radii, the knife-edge seals at location 1, the web at location 4, and the tab at location 5. Use the applicable penetrant procedure.
