TASK 72-45-25-200-004-D00 HPT Stage 2 Duct Segment - Examine, Inspection-004
General
This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 2 HPT duct segment.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.
All the parts must be cleaned before any is examined. Refer to TASK 72-45-25-100-000 (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 Step. Do the test before the part is visually inspected.
Do not discard any part until you are sure there are no repairs available. Refer to the instructions in Repair befor 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 SPM.

Refer to TASK 72-45-25-100-000 (CLEANING-000).
Axial cracks less than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) width and less than 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) depth in the material between hooks are permitted. Cracks are permitted to a maximum of the vertical wall of the hook or the radius of the W seal groove. Refer to Figure and Figure for permitted limits. No more than one crack is permitted between each hook.
Cracks in the hook web material.
Repair, VRS3614 TASK 72-45-25-300-008 (REPAIR-008).
All other base material crack.
Do the test for cracks on the part that is given below. Examine the metal surfaces. Do not examine the ceramic and metallic coated areas at Location 1. Use the penetrant procedure below.

NOTE
Erosion is the condition of the top porous layer of ceramic when it becomes rough or is missing from wear.Repair, VRS3614 TASK 72-45-25-300-008 (REPAIR-008).
Spalling is in the blade path. Damage is down to the metallic layer.

Not more than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in depth.
Burns.
Examine the duct segment surface at Location 1 for spalling, erosion, cracking, crazing and burning.

Refer to Figure.
Hooks - Location 5 - nicks, dents, gouges and similar surface imperfections are permitted to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) depth, if they are smooth-bottomed and not in the fillet radii. Outside of the fillet radii and ID surfaces, isolated surface imperfections are permitted to 0.040 in. (1.02 mm) depth if they are smooth-bottomed and no two adjacent hooks are affected. The total affected area on each hook is less than 0.016 sq in. (10.32 sq mm) and no imperfection spans more than 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) circumferentially. For hooks with multiple surface imperfections only one may be greater than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) deep.
Shiplap surfaces -Locations 2 - nicks, dents, gouges and similar surface imperfections are permitted to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) depth, if they are smooth-bottomed and not in the fillet radii, isolated surface imperfections are permitted to 0.040 in. (1.02 mm) depth, if they are smooth-bottomed, the total affected area is less than 0.016 in. (0.406 mm) and no imperfection spans more than 0.100 in. (2.54 mm) axially. For multiple surface imperfections, only one may be greater than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) deep.
All other surfaces - nicks, dents, gouges and similar surface imperfections are permitted to 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) depth, if they are smooth-bottomed. Isolated surface imperfections are permitted to 0.040 in. (1.02 mm) depth if fillet radii, cooling holes and hook web are not affected, the imperfection is smooth-bottomed, and the total affected area is less than 0.050 sq in. (32.26 sq mm). All imperfections greater than 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) in depth must be separated by 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) minimum. Imperfections on axial and circumferential faces spanning more half of the face width are not permitted.
