General Data

This TASK gives the procedure to Repair the Airfoil Tip of the HP Compressor Stage 3 to 12 Rotor Blades by Welding.

This TASK must only be applied when the instruction to do so is given in the relevant inspection /check, refer to EM Section 72-41-15.

This repair cannot be applied to Assembly B and C components which have the rubber sealing strip attached.

Discard the blades if, during the weld procedure, arcing has occurred onto any part of the blade.

This repair can be reapplied to the HP Compressor Stage 3 to 12 Rotor Blades if;

The minimum airfoil chord width dimensions are within the limits given in the relevant inspection/check

The component is within the repairable limits as given in Repair Scheme, Repair, VRS6510 TASK 72-41-15-300-040 (REPAIR-040).

The component is within the repairable limits as given in the Repair Scheme, Repair, VRS6151 TASK 72-41-15-300-041 (REPAIR-041), for Assemblies A, B, C and D.

The component is within the repairable limits as given in the Repair Scheme, Repair, VRS6152 TASK 72-41-15-300-043 (REPAIR-043), for Assemblies E and F.
