Common Information
TASK 72-00-00-200-003-B00 Engine General - Examine (Borescope) The Combustion Chamber And The HPT Stage 1 Vanes, Inspection-003
General
All Fig/item numbers in the procedure agree with those used in the IPC. Only the primary Fig/item numbers are used. For the service bulletin alpha variants refer to the IPC.
For all parts identified in a different Chapter/Section/Subject, the applicable Chapter/Section/Subject comes before the Fig/item number.
For standard torque data and procedures refer to SPM TASK 70-41-00-400-501 and SPM TASK 70-41-02-400-501.
Special torque data is identified with the symbol * after the torque value.
Assembly tolerances are included in this procedure.
Lubricate all threads and abutment faces of nuts and bolts with CoMat 10-077 APPROVED ENGINE OILS approved engine oils, unless other lubricants are referred to in the procedure.
The number for each radial location must be identified in a clockwise direction. These start at the engine top position when you look from the rear of the engine, unless stated differently in the procedure.
Definitions and General Information
Use these terms when you identify a combustion chamber condition seen during borescope inspection:
BURN: A local area of liner segment surface that has changed colour, has a rough surface texture or shows thinner material because of high temperatures. Burns can be located all around but more are found downstream of combustion holes in the burner liner segment.
BURN-THROUGH HOLE: A local burn area that has continued through the base material and does not extend to the leading or trailing edge of the segment, Figure.
EDGE BURNBACK: Full thickness liner segment burns that start at an edge, occur more at the segment trailing edge location but have also occurred at the leading edge. Burnback is segment material that is missing. Complete edge burnback is when segment material is missing from the trailing edge to the leading edge, Figure.
RADIAL BURNBACK: Full thickness burning on deflector edge continuing radially inward toward the fuel nozzle.
THROUGH CRACK: A crack on the surface of the segment material that has penetrated beyond the surface into and past the parent material. Typically the crack will be black in color and liner segment separation will be visible at the crack location.
NON-THROUGH CRACK: An indication/crack on the segment material which does not extend beyond segment material. Non-through cracks are acceptable as-is and should not be added to the measurement of the through crack.
General inspection guidelines:
Give the results of decreased time inspections to your IAE representative.
If a piece of combustion chamber material breaks off between inspection times, a borescope inspection of the high pressure turbine is necessary. If the high pressure turbine is not damaged after the material breaks off you can continue the combustion chamber borescope inspections at the times given by other limits.
All spalled ceramic coating on the combustor segments, the bulkhead segments or the bulkhead deflectors is acceptable without a degreased borescope inspection time.
Use these terms when you identify an HPT 1st stage vane condition seen during borescope inspection:
BURNS: A local area of 1st stage vane surface that has changed colour, has a rough surface texture or shows thinner material because of high temperatures. Burns can be located all round.
BURN-THROUGH: A local burn area that has continued through the airfoil surface. Cracks that have burned to more than 0.050 in. (1.269 mm) separation are also considered burn-through.
TRAILING EDGE BURNS: Burns or burn-through that starts at the airfoil trailing edge and continue forward to the airfoil leading edge.
LIFT UP: An area where the surface on one side of a crack is higher than the surface on the other side of the crack.
COATING DAMAGE: Chips, spalling, flakes, blisters, peeling or oxidation that is confined to the coating.
CONNECTED LOOP CRACK: A crack or a group of cracks that show an isolated area of vane metal.
LEADING EDGE: The area from the first row of cooling holes on the concave side of the vane to the first row of cooling holes on the convex side of the vane.
ONE QUARTER CORD LENGTH: The length from the trailing edge to the second row of cooling holes or 0.50 in. (12.7 mm).
ONE HALF CORD LENGTH: The length from the trailing edge to the fifth row of cooling holes or 1.00 in. (25.4 mm).
THREE QUARTER CORD LENGTH: The length equal to 1.50 in. (38.1 mm).
General inspection guidelines:
Give the results of decreased time inspections to your IAE representative.
All ceramic coating damage is acceptable without a decreased borescope inspection time. Extended operation with a large quantity of ceramic coating not there can possibly cause the vane to be out of time limits and cannot be repaired at overhaul.

Procedure

CAUTION
THE LIMITS THAT FOLLOW ARE APPLICABLE ON A CONTINUE-IN-SERVICE BASIS ONLY. EACH LIMIT IS BASED ON WHAT THE STRUCTURE OF THE VANE MUST BE AND DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE DETERIORATION OF THE ENGINE PERFORMANCE, STABILITY, OPERATING LIMITS OR PART REPAIRABILITY.Refer to Figure.
NOTE
A cover for the eye which is not used will decrease eye tension.
