Common Information
TASK 70-20-01-200-501 Inspection Policy And Inspection Of Parts

Inspection Policy
General:

The instructions that follow give the policy applicable to the inspection of parts. The cleaning
necessary is also given.

All special inspection instructions are given in the Engine Manual.

Instructions for the usual Standard Practice Inspection of Parts, which frequently apply to engines,
are given in Part 2 - Inspection of Parts.

Parts with easy access, when the module is disassembled:

When the module is disassembled it is necessary to do a visual inspection of all parts.

The methods of NDT inspection - penetrant or magnetic particle inspection are given in the Engine
Manual.

Removal of grease and loose carbon is usually sufficient, for parts where visual or magnetic particle
inspection is necessary. Removal of paint, hard carbon, heat oxidation and corrosion is usually

necessary for parts where penetrant inspection is used. This is because good surface preparation is
important for this type of inspection.

NDT inspection should be carried out whenever possible on the disassembled parts. However, if the
paint or coatings are in a servicable condition they should not be removed unless there is a specific
reason to do so. For example: repair scheme requirement or service problem.

Minor parts (remaining parts) can be either visual or NDT inspected as per the Engine Manual.

Cleaning procedures, which use acid or alkali etching to remove metal, are specified by IAE.

Parts for repair or modification:

The Repair Schemes and Modification Service Bulletins give the inspection and type of cleaning
necessary for inspection.

Parts for which special inspection is necessary (Because of service problems):

These are special procedures, which are specified when necessary.

Parts for which life growth sampling inspection is necessary:

For parts with mandatory life limits, the inspection instructions and basic samples necessary are
specified by IAE who will also make these inspections.

More inspections of parts, by operators when possible, are also necessary. This is to make sure the
basic sample inspection is satisfactory. IAE will give instructions for such programs.

The inspection of other important engine parts, for which life growth sampling programs are
necessary, usually follow the policy given above. Refer to the SPM TASK 70-05-00-220-501 -
Recording and Control of Component Lives.

NOTE
It is not necessary to anodize or cadmium plate this type of part again.

NOTE
Nuts that are in good condition must be examined, to make sure they fit their related mating parts.

NOTE
Before a magnetic particle inspection is applied to a cup washer, the lock marks must first be
removed as given in the SPM TASK 70-35-04-350-501.

NOTE
Do not change the locking torque of a nut mechanically (For example, do not crimp a lock device
to tighten it; or loosen it with a tap).

CAUTION
DO NOT APPLY MECHANICAL FORCE TO STUDS OR INSERTS, AS A
TIGHTNESS CHECK, OR TRY TO LOOSEN THEM.

Procedure
1. Inspection of Parts
A. General:

(1) The policy for the inspection of parts is given in Part 1 - Inspection Policy.

(2) The instructions in this procedure are for the usual inspection of parts which are used
through all the engine. They give a procedure to cross reference between the text
and the parts illustrations.

(3) Special instructions, for the inspection of the different parts of an engine sub-
assembly, are given in the related part of each procedure.

B. Parts inspection:

(1) All parts are included in the related Inspection/Check page block. Each location given
in the text is shown on the illustration - (For example, 2 FACE - Refer to Figure 1).

(2) Where a four figure location number is used, this number also shows a
Fits/Clearance location (For example, 1139 GROOVE - Refer to Figure 1).

C. Identification of parts:

(1) Parts that look the same can be made of different materials or can have different
dimensions. Each engine part has an identified part number specified in the related
Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC).

D. Service Bulletins:

https://prod61-ews.pw.utc.com/ietp/V2500-77445-A4406-00/V2500-00-70-20-01-00A-300A-D.html 3/10
12/10/2018 TASK 70-20-01-200-501 Inspection Policy And Inspection Of Parts

International Aero Engines Proprietary Information © 2014 - 2018. EAR Export Classification: Not subject to the EAR per 15 C.F.R. Chapter 1, Part 734.3(b)(3).
(1) The inspector must make sure that all important Service Bulletins are included. All
Service Bulletins that are not included, must be written on the Inspection Report.
These are to be included during Repair, Assembly or Installation.

(2) The effect of a Service Bulletin on a specific engine type is given in the related
Service Bulletins. Data about Service Bulletins, that are included, is given in the
Engine Log Book and/or the Record of Accomplishment.

E. Component life marks:

(1) To keep a record of the hours that a component has operated, and to help control its
life when such records are used, all components are identified by a mark. In this
mark each letter is related to a specific time. Instructions on how to apply this
procedure are given in the SPM TASK 70-05-00-220-501 - Recording and Control of
Component Lives.

F. Examine components for crack indications:

(1) All components must be examined for cracks. Examine visually at 7X magnification,
for all inspections, unless specified differently; or 30X magnification, if you are not
sure about a crack. Alternatively, use one of the crack inspection procedures
specified in this Standard Practices/Processes Manual; or an approved alternative. If
no special procedure is specified, an approved industrial procedure can be used.
Unless specified differently, the crack inspections must be done before the visual and
dimension inspections.

(2) All parts with cracks, for which no acceptance standards are given, must be rejected.
The acceptance standards for parts to be visually examined, without the use of crack
inspection procedures, are given in the general inspection instructions of each
Inspection/Check page block.

(3) A double inspection is frequently made during magnetic particle inspection

procedures; one to find longitudinal cracks and the other to find circumferential
cracks. Known overhaul and/or engineering procedures are used to make the
decision, if one or two inspections are necessary. Again, known engineering
procedures are used to find the position of the cracks. A basic engineering theory is
that cracks, in a part, usually start at 90 degrees to the direction of a primary
stressed area.

(4) If you are not sure about a crack indication, it must be examined again by a different
procedure, to make the indication more clear. Alternatively, if a penetrant inspection
was done, use a more sensitive penetrant.

(5) The names used to identify the directions of defects, are given on Fig Figure 2.

(6) The liquid penetrants specified in this Standard Practices/Processes Manual and the
Process and Consumable Index (PCI), are those used by IAE. These are known and
are recommended to the operators. For liquid penetrants with almost the same
sensitivity, which can also be used and possibly are used by the operators, the
instructions that follow must be obeyed. This is to make sure of their continued use:

(a) An alternative procedure must have the same sensitivity as that given in the
related section. This usually applies when a type of penetrant, penetrant
remover and procedure, are specially recommended.

(b) It is recommended not to use a penetrant that is more sensitive than the type
specified. This is because it will not be easy to find the results.

G. Ball and roller bearings:

https://prod61-ews.pw.utc.com/ietp/V2500-77445-A4406-00/V2500-00-70-20-01-00A-300A-D.html 4/10
12/10/2018 TASK 70-20-01-200-501 Inspection Policy And Inspection Of Parts

International Aero Engines Proprietary Information © 2014 - 2018. EAR Export Classification: Not subject to the EAR per 15 C.F.R. Chapter 1, Part 734.3(b)(3).
(1) The inspection of ball and roller bearings is given in the SPM
TASK 70-29-01-290-501.

(2) The cleaning and storage of ball and roller bearings is given in the SPM
TASK 70-53-01-620-501 and SPM TASK 70-53-02-630-501.

H. Hardness tests:

(1) It is not usually necessary to do a hardness test on steel components, unless there
are signs that they became too hot. When parts become too hot, and a hardness test
is necessary, it is specified in the related procedure.

I. Anodized and cadmium plated parts:

(1) Examine all anodized and cadmium plated parts for surface damage, caused by
scores.

(2) Smooth areas of local surface damage and locally touch-up the surface as given in
the SPM TASK 70-38-02-300-503 - Application of Chromate Conversion Coatings for
Aluminium and the SPM TASK 70-33-14-330-501 - Cadmium Plating on Steel.

(a) Apply touch-up to open surfaces only.

(b) Do not apply touch-up to the main rotating assembly, where the seal diameters
align with the seal outer parts; or to surfaces which touch each other, when the
parts are assembled.

J. Cases:

(1) Examine all cases for cracks, distortion, damage and corrosion; specially at joint
faces.

(2) Examine all dowel location holes, for extension and damage.

(3) Examine all threads for damage. The installation of wire thread inserts, to repair
damaged threads, is given in the SPM TASK 70-35-08-300-501.

(4) Examine all studs and inserts, for thread damage and tightness. Inserts can be
accepted, if they are tight and correctly installed. Visually examine, to make sure that
the top faces of the inserts are below and clear of the case joint faces.

(5) Make a mark on all bent or damaged studs to identify them for replacement.

K. Galling:

(1) Galling is usually identified by a color change, to surfaces that touch each other. It is
not necessary to remove the galling, unless it prevents the crack inspection
procedure. Very fine abrasive paper or metal polish can be used, to remove the
galling, but emery cloth must not be used.

(2) Heavy galling marks must not be fully removed, because it will increase the
clearance between the mating parts. High points must be removed with a fine
abrasive stone.

L. Ring nuts:

(1) Examine all ring nuts for damage specially in the spanner slots.

(2) Examine all threads for signs of pick-up.

https://prod61-ews.pw.utc.com/ietp/V2500-77445-A4406-00/V2500-00-70-20-01-00A-300A-D.html 5/10

International Aero Engines Proprietary Information © 2014 - 2018. EAR Export Classification: Not subject to the EAR per 15 C.F.R. Chapter 1, Part 734.3(b)(3).
(3) Examine the mating faces and threads of all silver plated nuts. If the plate has
become flaked, cracked or very black, it must be replaced as given in TASK 70-33-
16-330-501 - Silver Plating on Steel, Stainless Steel and Nickel Base Alloys.

M. Cup washers:

(1) Apply a magnetic particle inspection to the cup washers. Carefully examine the parts
of the rim, used to lock the cup washer.

(2) Cup washers with permitted rim cracks must be repaired by scalloping as given in
the SPM TASK 70-35-04-350-501.

(3) Only one scallop is permitted, on cup washers used on the engine main rotating
assembly.

(4) Cup washers with two opposite 60 degree lengths of arc, not scalloped before, can
be used again.

(5) Cup washers with cracks, parallel to the axis of the washer, must not be used again.
This is because the hoop strength is not sufficient.

(6) Cup washers used on compressor and turbine shafts can have small circumferential
cracks between the washer skirt and the backplate. These cracks must be no longer
than 0.125in. (3.175 mm) and there must not be more than four cracks in a cup
washer.

(7) Circumferential cracks are not permitted in other cup washers.

(8) All cup washer mating faces must be smooth, flat and parallel to less than 0.001in.
(0.025 mm).

N. Self-locking nuts:

(1) Two types of light weight, 12-point, self-locking nuts are used which are almost the
same. One type is magnetic, cadmium-plated, with a black molybdenum disulfide
coating. The other type is not magnetic and is silver-plated. The instructions on how
to identify the different types are given in the SPM TASK 70-42-02-220-501.

(2) Nuts with damaged mating faces, spanner serrations or threads, must be discarded.

(3) Make sure that all nuts (to be used again) have sufficient plating and/or molybdenum
disulfide coating on their threads and mating surfaces. This is so that they can not
become seized.

(4) A table of the permitted locking torque loads is given in the SPM
TASK 70-41-02-400-501. The locking torque load is the torque necessary to turn the
nut. This is with the full chamfer of the bolt or stud locked and with no axial load on
the nut.

(5) Reject all nuts with a minimum or maximum locking torque limit outside that given in
the SPM TASK 70-41-02-400-501. Below the minimum limit, the grip load is not
sufficient; while above the maximum limit, the nut lock device is stressed too much.
In time , it is possible for a person to feel, then make an accurate estimate, the
permitted locking torque. If it is possible to install a nut, along the full length of an
external thread by hand, then that nut must be discarded.

O. Discarded parts:

(1) All rubber oil seals and seal rings must be discarded; the time that the engine has
run is not important.

P. Repaired parts inspection:

(1) On some small parts - (For example, turbine blades) there is not sufficient space to
engrave the numbers of the repairs included. Because of this, special code symbols
are used. These symbols are identified as numbers in a triangle. Reference to the
List of Repairs, for the Chapter/Section/Subject of the related component, will show
the repair numbers related to the code symbols.

(2) During inspection, before the components are repaired, the code symbols must be
examined. This is to make sure that repairs, that can only be done one time, are not
done again.

(3) During inspection, all items and details included when the repairs were done must be
examined. This is to make sure that they are satisfactory for continued use. Also, all
related crack tests and/or dimension checks must be done when necessary.
