General
This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 2 HPT blade assembly. For the other stage 2 HPT blade assembly parts, refer to TASK 72-45-32-200-000 (INSPECTION-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 SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.
All the parts must be cleaned before any part is examined. Refer to SPM TASK 70-10-00-100-501.
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 72-45-32-230-053-001. Do the test for cracks only if the visual examination of the blade is unsatisfactory.
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 SPM.

SUBTASK 72-45-32-220-083 Examine the Stage 2 HPT Blade Assembly (01-010) for the Growth Measurement
Refer to Figure.
NOTE
This procedure applies only to blades that have not previously been remarked for length.A blade set is considered suspect if either of the following applies:
It is found to contain individual blades with negative measured stretch greater than minus 0.005 in. (minus 0.127 mm), (minus 0.006 in., minus 0.010 in. etc.), (minus 0.152 mm, minus 0.254 mm etc.).
It is found to contain individual blades that are rejected by the blade stretch measurement technique presently contained in SUBTASK 72-45-32-220-083.
Within a suspect set of blades, individual suspect blades are defined as:
All blades within the set that are found with any negative stretch.
All blades within the set that are found with positive stretch greater than 0.010 in. (0.254 mm).
All blades within the set that are found with more than 3 times the average stretch of the non-suspect blades in the set.
Determine measured length of individual blade by Step. Make note of airfoil thinning inspection. Record three-decimal place results as directed (example, 3.657 in. would read 657 (92.888 mm would read 888).
Calculate the growth of individual blades by subtracting the original marked length from the last three digits of the measured length values found in Step.
NOTE
If all blades in a set display negative stretch 0.001 in. - 0.005 in. (0.0254 mm - 0.127 mm) remark the blade length as described in Step I.Determine which blades within the set are suspect. See applicability above. A statistical analysis must be done on this initial set of growth readings to determine which measurements will be considered suspect versus those that are non-suspect. Suspect blade measurements are not to be evaluated again to further reduce the quantity of suspect parts in the set.
Determine quantity of suspect readings. If 75 percent of the set or more blades are suspect, skip to Step.
Determine the average stretch for the non-suspect blades (see Step.). Define a lot of standard non-suspect blades (10 blades minimum).
Measure the dimension from the top edge of the second trailing edge (T/E) slot from the tip to the bottom edge of the second T/E slot from the platform, as shown in Figure for the lot.
Average the values measured in Step. Subtract the average stretch of the non-suspect blades, from Step. This is the T/E base dimension.
Example: Non-suspect blade lot T/Es are measured and average 2.243 in. (56.972 mm). Average growth of these non-suspect blades was found to be 0.003 in. (0.0762 mm) at Step. T/E base dimension is set at 2.240 in. (56.897 mm).
For each suspect blade, measure the dimension from the top edge of the second T/E slot from the tip to the bottom edge of the second T/E slot from the platform, as shown in Figure.
Calculate the growth of each suspect blade by subtracting the T/E base dimension Step from the T/E dimension Step of each suspect blade.
Example: Non-suspect blade lot shows average 0.003 in. (0.0762 mm) growth and T/E base dimension of 2.240 in. (56.897 mm). Suspect blade T/E measures 2.242 in. (56.947 mm), so calculated growth of the suspect blade is 0.002 in. (0.0508 mm) (0.001 in. (0.0254 mm) less than the average established by the non-suspect blades in the set).
If less than 75 percent of the blades in the set are suspect, do the following:
For each suspect blade, measure the dimension from the top edge of the second T/E slot from the tip to the bottom edge of the second T/E slot from the platform, as shown in Figure.
NOTE
A locally fabricated tool based on a sample part may be used to confirm the standard T/E base dimension during inspection.Calculate the growth of each suspect blade by subtracting the standard T/E base dimension of 2.240 in. (56.897 mm) from the suspect blade T/E dimension Step.
Example: Base T/E dimension is 2.240 in. (56.897 mm). suspect blade T/E measures 2.244 in. (56.997 mm) so the calculated growth of the suspect blades 0.004 in. (0.1016 mm).
Do the following if the blade set meets one of the conditions that follow:
If 75 percent or more of the blades in the set are suspect.
The quantity of non-suspect blades is 15 or less.
The blades are previously repaired and mismarking condition has not been identified.
The calculated OEM length of a suspect blade is determined by subtracting the calculated growth Step or Step from the measured length Step as follows:
Example: Blade is found at Step A. to measure 3.657 in. (92.888 mm) but OEM length marked is 655 (3.655 in.) (837 (92.837 mm)). Calculated growth of blade is determined to be 0.002 in. (0.0508 mm), 3.657 in. minus 0.002 in. equals 3.655 in. Blade is identified as 655 (92.888 mm minus 0.0508 mm equals 92.837 mm. Blade is identified as 837).
Mark only the suspect blades with the calculated length from Step. with vibro-peen or dot-peen technique by SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501. Mark the last three digits of the measurements, rounded to the nearest 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm). Example, if the length is 2.449 in. (62.204 mm), mark 449 (204). Mark in the same area as the original marking. Cross out or line out the original marked length with vibro-peen or dot-peen technique by SPM TASK 70-09-00-400-501.
