Common Information
TASK 72-50-32-200-004-D00 LPT Stage 4 Blade - Examine, Inspection-004
General
This TASK gives the procedure for the inspection of the stage 4 turbine blades.
If there are signs of overheating, refer to TASK 72-50-32-200-007-A00 (INSPECTION/CHECK-007, CONFIG-001) before you do this inspection.
Fig./item numbers in parentheses in the procedure agree with those used in the EIPC.
A ** following any repair referenced in this inspection indicates that the repair is not yet published in the current revision of the manual and the part must be rejected. Contact IAE for additional information concerning FAA approved repair data.
The policy that is necessary for inspection is given in the SPM TASK 70-20-00-200-501.
All parts must be cleaned before any part is examined. Refer to the TASK 72-50-32-100-000 (72-050-032,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 72-50-32-230-001. Do the crack 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.

SUBTASK 72-50-32-230-183 Examine the Stage 4 Turbine Blades for Cracks
Refer to Figure.
NOTE
This examination includes surface defects which are permitted per production standard. Surface defects are not caused by hit of some objects or service operation.Fluorescent penetrant examine or visually examine areas A1 to A7 for surface defects. Refer to the SPM TASK 70-23-08-230-501 or SPM TASK 70-21-01-220-501.Surface defects larger than 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) diameter must have a bottom which can be seen.Surface defects not larger than 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) can be non bottomed.A cluster is a defect of four or more surface defects, clearly apart, which can be contained within a 0.200 in. (5.08 mm) diameter circle. In the cluster all surface defects must be 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) or lessIf not differently specified, surface defects of 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) or less must be ignored if they are not found in linear alignment or clusters, or in areas where 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) is the maximum permitted size.In areas where 0.015 in. (0.38 mm) is the maximum permitted size, surface defects 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) or less, not in linear alignment or clusters must be ignored.If acceptable limits on coated surfaces are ecxeeded, remove the coating and make an estimate of the surface defects again.
