(5) The scan parameters needed to perform this eddy current inspection are listed in
Table 7.
Table 7. Scan Parameters
UniWest ETC-2000 series scanner
Software: UniWest PS display and ELab application for US-450 and US-500 instrument
Scan speed: No greater than 3.2 inches/second (81.28 mm/second) (bore diameter 1.313 inch (33.350
mm), 46.5 rpm)
Index increment: 0.015 inch (0.381 mm) or less
Scan increment: 0.004 inch (0.102 mm)
(6) Reference standard is Mar-M-247 material with a 1.3 inch (33.02 mm) diameter bore

B. Configure System and Tooling for Eddy Current Inspection of Second Stage Turbine
Rotor Assemblies
NOTE: For this service bulletin, it is assumed that the second stage turbine rotor assembly
has been removed from the engine and sent to an authorized maintenance or
overhaul facility to accomplish the following instructions.
(1) Prior to eddy current inspection, the second stage turbine rotor assembly shall be
clean of any contaminants that may affect the eddy current inspection.
(2) For proper system operation, access and storage of scan and data files, set
preferences as shown in Table 8. For inspections of PN 3101514-11,-13, -14, the input
and output folders shown in Table 8 can keep the 3102106 part numbers since the
setup for PN 3101514-11, -13, -14 parts is the same as the setup for PN 3102106-7,
-9, -10 parts.

Hardware
ETC-2000: Large Interface Module with Turntable
(3) Configure tooling by attaching M-axis to the down tube, PN ETC-2230, using the
2nd and 4th hole pairs as shown in Figure 2. Use M-Axis actuator, PN ETC-2178
or ETC-2236.
(4) Attach the probe holder, PN ETC-2298, to passive C-slide, PN ETC-2297 as shown in
Figure 3.
C. Axis Alignment for Eddy Current Inspection of Second Stage Turbine Rotor Assemblies
(1) Attach the alignment fixture, T6531301-A, to the turntable base plate and secure.
Orient indicating surface in 6 o’clock position. Refer to Figure 4.
(2) Set the probe holder for 90° spring load. Refer to Figure 5.
(3) Insert the zeroing/alignment pointer tool, refer to Figure 6, or the eddy current probe
into the ETC-2298 spring loaded probe block.
(4) Activate the joystick control with PSJOG. Use the joystick to align the C-axis parallel
to the edge of the indicating block. Refer to Figure 6.
D. Bore Probe Alignment for Eddy Current Inspection of Second Stage Turbine Rotor
Assemblies
(1) Install the probe, PN ETC-2285, in probe block facing out in the probe motor direction.
Refer to Figure 7.
(4) Select probe setup file (Set zero bore probe T-6531301 1-2019.scn), refer to Figure
9. This file contains the basic tools and commands used to align the probe and zero
system C, M, and X-axes as required for subsequent standardization and inspection
scans (e.g., PSJOG, PSZERO, and PSMOVE).
(5) Select PSJOG and EXECUTE to activate the system joystick. Use the joystick to move
to the required position. When finished, press the release button to continue.
(6) With the probe coil positioned as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, run the probe zero
set program shown in Figure 9. This will zero all axes and move the probe up to the
scan ready position for standardization.
E. Standardization for Eddy Current Inspection of Second Stage Turbine Rotor Assemblies
(2) Place part, forward side up on fixture (seal assembly side up).
(3) Rotate part with high-curvic mark positioned at 6 o’clock.
(4) Run scan plan 3102106-10 BORE.scn. Refer to Figure 17.
Figure 17. (Sheet 1 of 1) Bore Scan Program (1.530 Inch (38.862 mm) Bore Scan Length)
(5) Scan continues until zone inspection is complete. At this point, a prompt will appear to
name the file.
(6) At prompt, enter the INSPECTION file name as follows:
xxxxxxxxx SNzzzzzzzzzzzz Bore mmddyy
where: xxxxxxxxx = Complete part number (i.e., including dash)
SNzzzzzzzzzzzz = Complete serial number
mmddyy = date by month, day, year
(7) Save the file and evaluation display opens.
G. Evaluation of Bore Scans for Each Second Stage Turbine Rotor Assembly Inspected
(1) Review the entire C-scan for indications using the same display setting used for the
standardization scan, refer to Paragraph 3.E.(11).
(2) Use zoom window to trap and analyze indications.
(3) Reject any indication with a peak-to-peak to voltage equal to or greater than 6.0
volts. Refer to Table 9.
Table 9. Indication Rejection Criteria
Zone Description Reject Voltage
Bore Peak-to Peak Signal Amplitude ≥ 6.0
NOTE: Perform post-standardization after every 4 hours of operation and upon completion
of the inspection lot to confirm that the system is still within the calibration limits.
(1) Perform post-standardization in accordance with standardization procedure in
Paragraph 3.E. Post-standardization is the same as the standardization procedure
except the file names are entered as “MCAL” or “MnCAL” for 4-hour intervals and
“PCAL” for final standardization/calibration upon completion of the lot.
NOTE: MnCAL = M1CAL, M2CAL, etc. for multiple 4-hour intervals and/or major system
interruptions.
(2) If the calibration response is less than the minimum peak-to-peak voltage, all
parts inspected since the previous calibration shall be re-inspected following
re-standardization.
I. Close-up
(1) Make annotation on life limited part log card that part has been eddy current inspected
in accordance to this service bulletin.
(2) Complete the Certificate of Compliance form in Paragraph 4.B. and send to Honeywell.
(3) If any second stage turbine rotor assemblies are rejected from the eddy current
inspection, please provide the information in the Eddy Current Indication form in
Paragraph 4.C. and the information on life limited part log card to Honeywell Aerospace
Technical Services (ATS).
