CAUTION: IF MATERIAL IS MISSING FROM THE CERAMIC LINER, LIFT THE PROBE OFF THE

LINER DURING INSPECTION TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

(3) Access the liner through the HP compressor Stage 7C bleed valve manifold

aperture on the left side of the engine (Refer to Figures 2 and 3). Insert

the flexible borescope and position between the stage seven stator vanes

to look down on the surface of the stage seven liner (Refer to Figure 3).

Make sure the borescope is clear of the stage 8 rotor blades and use the

turning tool to rotate the compressor one full revolution. Visually

examine the ceramic liner for any missing material, which could damage the

R ultrasonic probe during the inspection rotation and any staining or

R indications of axial cracking (Refer to Figure 4). A wear line on the

liner may be visible at the trailing edge of the stators, this is the

approximate seating position of the ultrasonic probe and particular

attention should be paid to this area around the circumference of the disc

(Refer to Figure 17).

NOTE: If staining or indications of axial cracking is found, contact the

local IAE office for further guidance before continuing.

R

R

NOTE: Missing stage 7-8 liner material directly underneath the path of

the probe may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be

lifted off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the

path of the probe is found, this must be noted on the

Accomplishment Proforma, as well as the percentage of the

circumference which was not ultrasonically inspected. If damage is

detected on the pre-inspection assessment, the borescope should be

inserted during the ultrasonic inspection to monitor the liner

during rotation.

Gate position 4.0 - 6.0 timebase position

NOTE: 1. The nominal settings above are for a USN 52 or equivalent flaw

R detector to achieve approximate signal timebase positions.

Alternative instruments may require different settings.

2. For calibration purposes the couplant feed manipulator should

be detached as described in F.(4) thru (7) in REVERSE order.

3. Care should be taken to keep the two working standards

IAE2R19854 and IAE2R19860 separate.

(1) Attach the lead to the manipulator/flaw detector, apply the distilled or

de-ionised water and position the probe (IAE2R19865) on to the working

standard (IAE2R19854) (Refer to Figure 5).

(2) Position the probe on the working standard with the flat face on the

working standard and the probe mounting screw facing the working standard.

The 0.04 in. long by 0.02 in. deep (1,0 mm l by 0,5 mm) EDM target is

located in the center of the base of the working standard (Refer to Figure

5).

NOTE: 1. If calibration is carried out with the working standard in

contact with a secondary surface, excessive couplant on the

working surface and EDM target surface, may allow transfer of

sound into the secondary surface. This can result in a weak

signal and incorrect calibration.

2. During calibration make sure that the probe is flat down on the

two contact faces of the working standards. Failure to do so

can result in incorrect calibration.

3. Make sure that the probe is positioned correctly on the working

standard and the reflected signal is not from the corner of the

block.

(3) With the probe positioned on the working standard (Refer to Figure 5),

identify the response from the EDM target at half skip distance. Maximize

the signal response to achieve 70 percent Full Screen Height (FSH) and

adjust the range control to position the EDM target signal at five on the

timebase. (Refer to Figure 6).

(4) Position the gate between the 4.0 and 6.0 divisions on the timebase and

set the alarm threshold level at 40 percent FSH.

F. Install the manipulator and ultrasonic probe (IAE2R19865) into the engine

CAUTION: DUE TO THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER DIAMETER INSPECTION

R CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE CORRECT PROBE AND WORKING TOOLS,

STANDARD HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE RELEVANT INSPECTION.

(1) Position the distilled or de-ionised water container at a suitable

position on the engine. Make sure the container is supported above the

probe position. Attach the end of the water supply tube to the connector

on the rear of the manipulator. Open the valve on the water container and

make sure that water flows from the probe face with no sign of air

bubbles. When water flows from the probe, close the valve on the water

container.

(2) Before installing the manipulator/probe into the engine, make sure all

parts are secure. Make sure the attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe

is secure, the spring is not bent and the cable is not damaged. Make sure

the water tube is removed from the manipulator assembly to allow the probe

to be inserted into the engine.

NOTE: Figure 7 shows the component parts of the probe assembly. Figure 8

shows the fully assembled probe and couplant feed tube correctly

assembled.

CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY FORCE TO THE MANIPULATOR OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE

PROBE AND ENGINE.

(3) Use CoMat 10-058 to lightly oil the threads of the mounting bolts.

Position the probe manipulator arm to the forward side of the HP

compressor bleed valve port with the manipulator lock plate closed. Make

sure that the probe arm is installed to the correct bleed valve aperture

(Refer to Figure 9). Install the probe into the HP compressor case until

it contacts the ceramic liner. Slide the manipulator mount plate up to the

flange of the bleed valve. Hold the mount plate in contact with the flange

of the bleed valve and install the bolts by hand. Make sure the probe

manipulator assembly is free to move and tighten the bolts.

NOTE: When correctly installed, the probe manipulator assembly should be

able to slide freely in the mount plate and be able to make contact

with the liner.

(4) Open the manipulator lock plate and carefully install the couplant

manipulator into the same aperture and above the probe manipulator.

(5) Make sure that the couplant arm is correctly installed into the mount

plate groove and close the lock plate.

(6) Retract the tension spring lock plate until it can be installed over the

couplant arm mount boss (Refer to Figure 10).

(7) Make sure the probe and couplant arms are contacting the ceramic liner and

tighten the spring clamp.

(8) Connect the couplant feed system to the couplant feed manipulator.

NOTE: Figure 11 shows the ultrasonic probe manipulator assembly correctly

installed on the engine.

Make sure that the couplant feed manipulator is not mounted forward of the

probe, this will prevent reliable contact with the liner. When the

couplant feed tube and probe manipulator are correctly aligned, the

assembly is correctly installed.

G. Inspect the disc

(1) Open the water couplant valve and turn the HP compressor in a clockwise

direction until the probe is positioned between the two locking nuts of

R locking blades (Refer to Figure 29). Apply light inward the stage 7

pressure and make sure the probe is coupled with the liner by watching the

flaw detector timebase response. Withdraw the probe manipulator assembly

slightly and watch the change in timebase display when the probe is not

coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored throughout the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move

along the timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses

that break the alarm gate, will cause the engine to be rejected

(Refer to Figure 6).

(3) The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move along the

timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses that break the alarm

R gate, will cause the engine to be rejected (Refer to Figure 12).

(4) Cracks that have developed on the inner surface of the disc will appear

R within the gate on the timebase at half skip distance (Refer to (maximize)

R Figure 12).

R (5) Inspect the full circumference of the disc, if the ceramic liner allows.

CAUTION: LIFT THE PROBE CLEAR OF THE CERAMIC LINER BEFORE YOU REVERSE THE

DIRECTION OF THE HP COMPRESSOR, TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

(7) If the probe 'picks up' or 'chatters' when the HP compressor is rotated in

a clockwise direction, Rotate the HP compressor in a counterclockwise

direction and repeat the inspection.

NOTE: 1. It is expected that there may be differences in signals when

the HP compressor is rotated in different directions. This is

because the direction of rotation changes the way the probe

sits on the liner. Additionally, the water comes in from one

direction only, which affects the function of the couplant, It

is recommended not to change the direction of rotation during

an inspection pass.

2. Missing stage 7 liner directly underneath the path of the probe

may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be lifted

off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the path

of the probe is found, this must be noted on the Accomplishment

Proforma, as well as the percentage of the circumference which

was not ultrasonically inspected. If damage is detected on the

pre-inspection assessment, the borescope should be inserted

during the ultrasonic inspection to monitor the liner during

rotation.

3. The borescope inspection for liner material loss is required to

ensure clearance of the rotor path for the ultrasonic probe.

This is recorded for information only, and does not need to be

stamped off as part of the formal accomplishment records. the

results of the borescope inspection for liner cracks or

staining determine further engine serviceability.

H. Remove the probe manipulator assembly from the engine

(1) After the inspection is complete, close the water valve and remove the

water supply tube from the couplant manipulator assembly. Slacken the

manipulator lock plate screw and spring clamp screw, remove the couplant

manipulator assembly from the bleed valve aperture.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REMOVE THE PROBE MANIPULATOR ASSEMBLY

FROM THE ENGINE.

(2) Close the lock plate and remove the flange mount bolts. Carefully remove

the probe manipulator assembly from the engine.

(3) Make sure all parts of the probe manipulator assembly are present and

undamaged.

coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored through the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector timebase signals must be constantly monitored

during the inspection, as no back-wall or geometry signals

appear on the timebase and loss of coupling could occur at any

time.

2. During inspection monitor the distilled or de-ionised water

level, replenish as necessary

(3) The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move along the

timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses that break the alarm

gate, will cause the engine to be rejected (Refer to Figure 12).

(4) Cracks that have developed on the inner surface of the disc will appear

R within the gate on the timebase at half skip distance. (Refer (maximize)

to Figure 12).

R (5) Inspect the full circumference of the disc, if the ceramic liner allows.

CAUTION: LIFT THE PROBE CLEAR OF THE CERAMIC LINER BEFORE YOU REVERSE THE

DIRECTION OF THE HP COMPRESSOR, TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

(7) If the probe 'picks up' or 'chatters' when the HP compressor is rotated in

a clockwise direction, Rotate the HP compressor in a counterclockwise

direction and repeat the inspection.

NOTE: 1. It is expected that there may be differences in signals when

the HP compressor is rotated in different directions. This is

because the direction of rotation changes the way the probe

sits on the liner. Additionally, the water comes in from one

direction only, which affects the function of the couplant, It

is recommended not to change the direction of rotation during

an inspection pass.

2. Missing stage 7 liner directly underneath the path of the probe

may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be lifted

off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the path

of the probe is found, this must be noted on the Accomplishment

Proforma, as well as the percentage of the circumference which

was not ultrasonically inspected. If damage is detected on the

pre-inspection assessment, the borescope should be inserted

during the ultrasonic inspection to monitor the liner during

rotation.

3. The borescope inspection for liner material loss is required to

ensure clearance of the rotor path for the ultrasonic probe.

This is recorded for information only, and does not need to be

stamped off as part of the formal accomplishment records. the

results of the borescope inspection for liner cracks or

staining determine further engine serviceability.

O. Remove the probe manipulator assembly from the engine

(1) After the inspection is complete, close the water valve and remove the

water supply tube from the couplant manipulator assembly. Slacken the

manipulator lock plate screw and spring clamp screw, remove the couplant

manipulator assembly from the bleed valve aperture.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REMOVE THE PROBE MANIPULATOR ASSEMBLY

FROM THE ENGINE.

(2) Close the lock plate and remove the flange mount bolts. Carefully remove

the probe manipulator assembly from the engine.

(3) Make sure all parts of the probe manipulator assembly are present and

undamaged.

(1) Attach the lead to the manipulator/flaw detector, apply the distilled or

de-ionised water and position the probe (IAE2R19852) on to the working

standard (Refer to Figure 20).

(2) With the flat face of the probe seated on the rear face of the working

standard and the chamfered corners outward facing, position the probe on

the working standard (Refer to Figure 20). The 1.0 mm long by 0.50 mm deep

EDM notch is located in the center of the base of the working standard.

NOTE: 1. If calibration is carried out with the working standard in

contact with a secondary surface, excessive couplant on the

working surface and EDM target surface, may allow transfer of

sound into the secondary surface. This can result in a weak

signal and incorrect calibration.

2. During calibration make sure that the probe is flat down on the

two contact faces of the working standards. Failure to do so

can result in incorrect calibration.

3. Make sure that the probe is positioned correctly on the working

standard and the reflected signal is not from the corner of the

block.

(3) With the probe positioned on the working standard (Refer to Figure 20),

identify the response from the EDM target at half skip distance. Maximize

the signal response to achieve 70 percent Full Screen Height (FSH) and

adjust the range control to position the EDM target signal at five on the

timebase. (Refer to Figure 6).

(4) Position the gate between the 4.0 and 6.0 divisions on the time base and

set the alarm threshold level at 40 percent FSH.

CAUTION: DUE TO THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER DIAMETER INSPECTION

R CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE CORRECT PROBE AND WORKING TOOLS,

STANDARD HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE RELEVANT INSPECTION.

(1) Position the distilled or de-ionised water container at a suitable

position on the engine. Make sure the container is supported above the

probe position. Attach the end of the water supply tube to the connector

on the rear of the manipulator. Open the valve on the water container and

make sure that water flows from the probe face with no sign of air

bubbles. When water flows from the probe, close the valve on the water

container.

(2) Before installing the manipulator/probe into the engine, make sure all

parts are secure. Make sure the attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe

is secure, the spring is not bent and the cable is not damaged. Make sure

the water tube is removed from the manipulator assembly to allow the probe

to be inserted into the engine.

R

R

R

NOTE: 1. Two standards of bleed air slots may be found on engines. The

current modification standard has longer elongated slots (Refer

to Figure 26) however a number of engines have an earlier

modification standard with smaller square slots (Refer to

Figure 27). The gaps between the stator platforms are

identical; however, the larger slot allows more freedom to

allow the probe to fit easily into the gap between the stators.

Installing the probe into the smaller slot is more difficult

due to the smaller space available; in this case, the probe

face initially contacts the corner of the lower stator platform

(Refer to figure 27).

2. To install the probe to the smaller slot, first angle the head

of the probe upwards a few degrees by gently rotating the probe

head on the attachment bolt. Holding the manipulator as low as

possible during entry, will allow the probe to slide upwards as

it enters the slot avoiding the corner of the stator. When

installed, the manipulator assembly should be pushed on to the

liner to ensure contact and to center the probe.

3. During withdrawal, the probe will contact the inner surface of

the stator platform preventing withdrawal. By applying gentle

pressure to the manipulator, and again adjusting the probe head

angle, whilst the probe is still in the engine, the probe will

be able to be withdrawn. Excessive force must not be used

during removal.

R oil the threads of the mounting bolts. Offer (3) Use CoMat 10-058 to lightly

the probe to the forward side of the HP compressor bleed valve port (Refer

to Figure 21) through the bleed slot adjacent to the flat-headed D bolt.

Carefully allow the probe to enter the HP compressor casing until it

contacts the ceramic liner. Carefully slide the manipulator mounting plate

up to the bleed valve flange. Manually screw the bolts into the bolt holes

ensuring the mounting plate remains in contact with the bleed valve flange

and the probe manipulator assembly is free to move. Tighten the bolts

alternately whilst checking the probe manipulator assembly remains free to

move.

NOTE: Do not force the manipulator or damage may occur to the probe and

engine.

If the probe is difficult to insert, more material should be

removed from the first and second walls of the heatshield retainer.

R

R

(4) When correctly installed, the probe manipulator assembly should be able to

slide freely in the mounting block and be able to make contact with the

liner. Figure 22 shows the manipulator assembly correctly installed to the

engine.

AB.Inspect the disc

(1) Open the water couplant valve fully and turn the HP compressor in a

clockwise direction until the probe is positioned between the two locking

R locking blades (Refer to Figure 29). Apply light nuts of the stage 7

inward pressure and make sure the probe is coupled with the liner by

watching the flaw detector time base response. Withdraw the probe

manipulator assembly slightly and watch the change in time base display

when the probe is not coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored through the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move

along the timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses

R that break the alarm gate (40 percent) will cause the engine to

be rejected (Refer to Figure 25).

2. During inspection monitor the distilled or de-ionised water

level, replenish as necessary.

CAUTION: LIFT THE PROBE CLEAR OF THE CERAMIC LINER BEFORE YOU REVERSE THE

DIRECTION OF THE HP COMPRESSOR, TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

(7) If the probe 'picks up' or 'chatters' when the HP compressor is rotated in

a clockwise direction, Rotate the HP compressor in a counterclockwise

direction and repeat the inspection.

NOTE: 1. It is expected that there may be differences in signals when

the HP compressor is rotated in different directions. This is

because the direction of rotation changes the way the probe

sits on the liner. Additionally, the water comes in from one

direction only, which affects the function of the couplant, It

is recommended not to change the direction of rotation during

an inspection pass.

2. Missing stage 7 liner directly underneath the path of the probe

may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be lifted

off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the path

of the probe is found, this must be noted on the Accomplishment

Proforma, as well as the percentage of the circumference which

was not ultrasonically inspected. If damage is detected on the

pre-inspection assessment, the borescope should be inserted

during the ultrasonic inspection to monitor the liner during

rotation.

3. The borescope inspection for liner material loss is required to

ensure clearance of the rotor path for the ultrasonic probe.

This is recorded for information only, and does not need to be

stamped off as part of the formal accomplishment records. the

results of the borescope inspection for liner cracks or

staining determine further engine serviceability.

NOTE: In order to reduce the potential for multiple-engine in-flight shutdown,

power loss, or other anomaly due to maintenance error, IAE recommends

that Operators avoid performing maintenance on multiple engines

installed on the same aircraft at the same time. If it is not possible

to avoid maintenance on more than one engine of an aircraft at the same

time, IAE recommends that additional controls are applied in order to

ensure that maintenance tasks have been completed as defined.

(2) With the flat face of the probe seated on the rear face of the working

standard and the chamfered corners outward facing, position the probe on

the working standard approximately 10.00 mm from the end as shown (Refer

to Figure 24). The EDM target is located on the lower rear edge of the

working standard.

NOTE: 1. If calibration is carried out with the working standard in

contact with a secondary surface, excessive couplant on the

working surface and EDM target surface, may allow transfer of

sound into the secondary surface. This can result in a weak

signal and incorrect calibration.

2. During calibration make sure that the probe is flat down on the

two contact faces of the working standards. Failure to do so

can result in incorrect calibration.

3. Make sure that the probe is positioned correctly on the working

standard and the reflected signal is not from the corner of the

block.

(3) With the probe positioned on the working standard (Refer to Figure 24),

identify the response from the EDM target at half skip distance. Maximize

the signal response to achieve 70 percent Full Screen Height (FSH) and

adjust the range control to position the EDM target signal at five on the

timebase. (Refer to Figure 25).

(4) Position the gate between the 3.0 and 8.0 divisions on the time base and

set the alarm threshold level at 30 percent FSH for HP compressor drum P/N

R and 6B1386. For all other HP compressor drum P/Ns 6A7705, 6A8316, 6B1385

set the alarm threshold level at 55 percent FSH (Refer to Figure 25).

AH.Install the manipulator and ultrasonic probe (IAE2R19859 or IAE2R19880) into

(1) Position the distilled or de-ionised water container at a suitable

position on the engine. Make sure the container is supported above the

probe position. Attach the end of the water supply tube to the connector

on the rear of the manipulator. Open the valve on the water container and

make sure that water flows from the probe face with no sign of air

bubbles. When water flows from the probe, close the valve on the water

container.

(2) Before installing the manipulator/probe into the engine, make sure all

parts are secure. Make sure the attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe

is secure, the spring is not bent and the cable is not damaged.

NOTE: 1. Two standards of bleed air slots may be found on engines. The

current modification standard has longer elongated slots (Refer

to Figure 26) however a number of engines have an earlier

modification standard with smaller square slots (Refer to

Figure 27). The gaps between the stator platforms are

identical; however, the larger slot allows more freedom to

allow the probe to fit easily into the gap between the stators.

Installing the probe into the smaller slot is more difficult

due to the smaller space available; in this case, the probe

face initially contacts the corner of the lower stator platform

(Refer to Figure 27).

2. To install the probe to the smaller slot, first angle the head

of the probe upwards a few degrees by gently rotating the probe

head on the attachment bolt. Holding the manipulator as low as

possible during entry, will allow the probe to slide upwards as

it enters the slot avoiding the corner of the stator. When

installed, the manipulator assembly should be pushed on to the

liner to ensure contact and to center the probe.

3. During withdrawal, the probe will contact the inner surface of

the stator platform preventing withdrawal. By applying gentle

pressure to the manipulator, and again adjusting the probe head

angle, whilst the probe is still in the engine, the probe will

be able to be withdrawn. Excessive force must not be used

during removal.

CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY FORCE TO THE MANIPULATOR OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE

PROBE AND ENGINE.

R oil the threads of the mounting bolts. Offer (3) Use CoMat 10-058 to lightly

the probe to the forward side of the HP compressor bleed valve port (Refer

to Figure 21) through the bleed slot adjacent to the flat-headed D bolt.

Carefully allow the probe to enter the HP compressor casing until it

contacts the ceramic liner. Carefully slide the manipulator mounting plate

up to the bleed valve flange. Manually screw the bolts into the bolt holes

ensuring the mounting plate remains in contact with the bleed valve flange

and the probe manipulator assembly is free to move. Tighten the bolts

alternately whilst checking the probe manipulator assembly remains free to

move.

(4) When correctly installed, the probe manipulator assembly should be able to

slide freely in the mounting block and be able to make contact with the

liner. Figure 22 shows the manipulator assembly installed to the engine.

AI.Inspect the disc

(1) Open the water couplant valve fully and turn the HP compressor in a

clockwise direction until the probe is positioned between the two locking

R locking blades (Refer to Figure 29). Apply light nuts of the stage 7

inward pressure and make sure the probe is coupled with the liner by

watching the flaw detector time base response. Withdraw the probe

manipulator assembly slightly and watch the change in time base display

when the probe is not coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored through the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector time base signals must be constantly

monitored during the inspection, as no back-wall or geometry

signals appear on the time base and loss of coupling could

occur at any time.

2. During inspection monitor the distilled or de-ionised water

level, replenish as necessary.

(3) The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move along the

timebase in the gated area (30 percent or 55 percent). Any ultrasonic

responses that break the alarm gate, will cause the engine to be rejected

(Refer to Figure 25).

(4) Cracks that have developed on the inner surface of the disc will appear

R within the gate on the time base at half skip distance (Refer (maximize)

to Figure 25).

R (5) Inspect the full circumference of the disc, if the ceramic liner allows.

Alternative instruments may require different settings.

2. For calibration purposes the couplant feed manipulator should

be detached as described in AV. (4) thru (7) in REVERSE order.

3. Care should be taken to keep the two working standards

IAE2R19854 and IAE2R19860 separate.

(1) Attach the lead to the manipulator/flaw detector, apply the distilled or

de-ionised water and position the probe (IAE2R19865) on to the working

standard (IAE2R19854) (Refer to Figure 5).

(2) Position the probe on the working standard with the flat face on the

working standard and the probe mounting screw facing the working standard.

Make sure attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe is secure, the spring

is not bent and the cable is not damaged. The 0.04 in. long by 0.02 in.

deep (1,0 mm l by 0,5 mm) EDM target is located in the center of the base

of the working standard (Refer to Figure 5).

NOTE: 1. If calibration is carried out with the working standard in

contact with a secondary surface, excessive couplant on the

working surface and EDM target surface, may allow transfer of

sound into the secondary surface. This can result in a weak

signal and incorrect calibration.

2. During calibration make sure that the probe is fully flat down

on the two contact faces of the working standard. Failure to do

so can result in incorrect calibration.

3. Make sure that the probe is positioned correctly on the working

standard and the reflected signal is not from the corner of the

block.

(3) With the probe positioned on the working standard (Refer to figure 5),

identify the response from the EDM target at half skip distance. Maximize

the signal response to achieve 70 percent Full Screen Height (FSH) and

adjust the range control to position the EDM target signal at five on the

timebase (Refer to Figure 6).

(4) Position the gate between the 4.0 and 6.0 divisions on the timebase and

set the alarm threshold level at 40 percent FSH.

AV.Install the manipulator and ultrasonic probe (IAE2R19865) into the engine

CAUTION: DUE TO THE SIMILARITY BETWEEN THE INNER AND OUTER DIAMETER INSPECTION

R CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THE CORRECT PROBE AND WORKING TOOLS,

STANDARD HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE RELEVANT INSPECTION.

(1) Position the distilled or de-ionised water container at a suitable

position on the engine. Make sure the container is supported above the

probe position. Attach the end of the water supply tube to the connector

on the rear of the manipulator. Open the valve on the water container and

make sure that water flows from the probe face with no sign of air

bubbles. When water flows from the probe, close the valve on the water

container.

(2) Before installing the manipulator/probe into the engine, make sure all

parts are secure. Make sure the attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe

is secure, the spring is not bent and the cable is not damaged. Make sure

the water tube is removed from the manipulator assembly to allow the probe

to be inserted into the engine.

NOTE: Figure 7 shows the component parts of the probe assembly. Figure 8

shows the fully assembled probe and couplant feed tube correctly

assembled.

CAUTION: DO NOT APPLY FORCE TO THE MANIPULATOR OR DAMAGE MAY OCCUR TO THE

PROBE AND ENGINE.

(3) Use CoMat 10-058 to lightly oil the threads of the mounting bolts.

Position the probe manipulator arm to the forward side of the HP

compressor bleed valve port with the manipulator lock plate closed. Make

sure that the probe arm is installed to the correct bleed valve aperture

(Refer to Figure 9). Install the probe into the HP compressor case until

it contacts the ceramic liner. Slide the manipulator mount plate up to the

flange of the bleed valve. Hold the mount plate in contact with the flange

of the bleed valve and install the bolts by hand. Make sure the probe

manipulator assembly is free to move and tighten the bolts.

NOTE: When correctly installed, the probe manipulator assembly should be

able to slide freely in the mount plate and be able to make contact

with the liner.

(4) Open the manipulator lock plate and carefully install the couplant

manipulator into the same aperture and above the probe manipulator.

(5) Make sure that the probe and couplant arms are contacting the ceramic

liner and tighten the spring clamp.

(6) Retract the tension spring lock plate until it can be installed over the

couplant arm mount boss (Refer to Figure 10).

(7) Make sure the probe and couplant arms are exactly aligned and tighten the

spring clamp.

(8) Connect the couplant feed system to the couplant feed manipulator

NOTE: Figure 11 shows the ultrasonic probe manipulator assembly correctly

installed on the engine.

Make sure that the couplant feed manipulator is not mounted forward

of the probe, this will prevent reliable contact with the liner.

When the couplant feed tube and probe manipulator are correctly

aligned, the assembly is correctly installed.

AW.Inspect the disc

(1) Open the water couplant valve to fully open and turn the HP compressor in

a clockwise direction until the probe is positioned between the two

R locking blades (Refer to Figure 29). Apply locking nuts of the stage 7

light inward pressure and make sure the probe is coupled with the liner by

watching the flaw detector timebase response. Withdraw the probe

manipulator assembly slightly and watch the change in timebase display

when the probe is not coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored through the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

R

R

R

R

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector timebase signals must be constantly monitored

during the inspection, as no back-wall or geometry signals

appear on the timebase and loss of coupling could occur at any

time.

2. During inspection monitor the distilled or de-ionised water

level, replenish as necessary.

(3) The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move along the

timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses that break the alarm

R gate, will cause the engine to be rejected (Refer to Figure 12).

(4) Cracks that have developed on the inner surface of the disc will appear

R within the gate on the timebase at half skip distance (Refer to (maximize)

R Figure 12).

R (5) Inspect the full circumference of the disc, if the ceramic liner allows.

(6) If turning tool is used, record the amplitude and timebase position

indications over the threshold. Record the degree position on the

accomplishment proforma.

R

R

CAUTION: LIFT THE PROBE CLEAR OF THE CERAMIC LINER BEFORE YOU REVERSE THE

DIRECTION OF THE HP COMPRESSOR, TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE PROBE.

(7) If the probe 'picks up' or 'chatters' when the HP compressor is rotated in

a clockwise direction, Rotate the HP compressor in a counterclockwise

direction and repeat the inspection.

NOTE: 1. It is expected that there may be differences in signals when

the HP compressor is rotated in different directions. This is

because the direction of rotation changes the way the probe

sits on the liner. Additionally, the water comes in from one

direction only, which affects the function of the couplant, It

is recommended not to change the direction of rotation during

an inspection pass.

2. Missing stage 7 liner directly underneath the path of the probe

may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be lifted

off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the path

of the probe is found, this must be noted on the Accomplishment

Proforma, as well as the percentage of the circumference which

was not ultrasonically inspected. If damage is detected on the

pre-inspection assessment, the borescope should be inserted

during the ultrasonic inspection to monitor the liner during

rotation.

3. The borescope inspection for liner material loss is required to

ensure clearance of the rotor path for the ultrasonic probe.

This is recorded for information only, and does not need to be

stamped off as part of the formal accomplishment records. the

results of the borescope inspection for liner cracks or

staining determine further engine serviceability.

AX.Remove the probe manipulator assembly from the engine

(1) After the inspection is complete, close the water valve and remove the

water supply tube from the couplant manipulator assembly. Slacken the

manipulator lock plate screw, remove the couplant manipulator assembly,

remove the couplant manipulator assembly from the bleed valve aperture.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE TO REMOVE THE PROBE MANIPULATOR ASSEMBLY

FROM THE ENGINE.

(2) Close the lock plate and remove the flange mount bolts. Carefully remove

the probe manipulator assembly from the engine.

(3) Make sure all parts of the probe manipulator assembly are present and

undamaged.

R (1) Attach the lead to the manipulator/flaw detector, apply the distilled or

de-ionised water and position the probe (IAE2R19852) on to the working

standard (Refer to Figure 20).

(2) With the flat face of the probe seated on the rear face of the working

standard and the chamfered corners outward facing, position the probe on

the working standard (Refer to Figure 20). The 1.0 mm long by 0.50 mm deep

EDM notch is located in the center of the base of the working standard.

NOTE: 1. If calibration is carried out with the working standard in

contact with a secondary surface, excessive couplant on the

working surface and EDM target surface, may allow transfer of

sound into the secondary surface. This can result in a weak

signal and incorrect calibration.

2. During calibration make sure that the probe is flat down on the

two contact faces of the working standards. Failure to do so

can result in incorrect calibration.

3. Make sure that the probe is positioned correctly on the working

standard and the reflected signal is not from the corner of the

block.

(3) With the probe positioned on the working standard (Refer to Figure 20),

identify the response from the EDM target at half skip distance. Maximize

the signal response to achieve 70 percent Full Screen Height (FSH) and

adjust the range control to position the EDM target signal at five on the

timebase. (Refer to Figure 6).

(1) Position the distilled or de-ionised water container at a suitable

position on the engine. Make sure the container is supported above the

probe position. Attach the end of the water supply tube to the connector

on the rear of the manipulator. Open the valve on the water container and

make sure that water flows from the probe face with no sign of air

bubbles. When water flows from the probe, close the valve on the water

container.

(2) Before installing the manipulator/probe into the engine, make sure all

parts are secure. Make sure the attachment bolt for the ultrasonic probe

is secure, the spring is not bent and the cable is not damaged. Make sure

the water tube is removed from the manipulator assembly to allow the probe

to be inserted into the engine.

NOTE: 1. Two standards of bleed air slots may be found on engines. The

current modification standard has longer elongated slots (Refer

to Figure 26) however a number of engines have an earlier

modification standard with smaller square slots (Refer to

Figure 27). The gaps between the stator platforms are

identical; however, the larger slot allows more freedom to

allow the probe to fit easily into the gap between the stators.

Installing the probe into the smaller slot is more difficult

due to the smaller space available; in this case, the probe

face initially contacts the corner of the lower stator platform

(Refer to figure 27).

2. To install the probe to the smaller slot, first angle the head

of the probe upwards a few degrees by gently rotating the probe

head on the attachment bolt. Holding the manipulator as low as

possible during entry, will allow the probe to slide upwards as

it enters the slot avoiding the corner of the stator. When

installed, the manipulator assembly should be pushed on to the

liner to ensure contact and to center the probe.

3. During withdrawal, the probe will contact the inner surface of

the stator platform preventing withdrawal. By applying gentle

pressure to the manipulator, and again adjusting the probe head

angle, whilst the probe is still in the engine, the probe will

be able to be withdrawn. Excessive force must not be used

during removal.

R oil the threads of the mounting bolts. Offer (3) Use CoMat 10-058 to lightly

the probe to the forward side of the HP compressor bleed valve port (Refer

to Figure 21) through the bleed slot adjacent to the flat-headed D bolt.

Carefully allow the probe to enter the HP compressor casing until it

contacts the ceramic liner. Carefully slide the manipulator mounting plate

up to the bleed valve flange. Manually screw the bolts into the bolt holes

ensuring the mounting plate remains in contact with the bleed valve flange

and the probe manipulator assembly is free to move. Tighten the bolts

alternately whilst checking the probe manipulator assembly remains free to

move.

NOTE: Do not force the manipulator or damage may occur to the probe and

engine.

(4) When correctly installed, the probe manipulator assembly should be able to

slide freely in the mounting block and be able to make contact with the

liner. Figure 22 shows the manipulator assembly correctly installed to the

engine.

BQ.Inspect the disc

(1) Open the water couplant valve fully and turn the HP compressor in a

clockwise direction until the probe is positioned between the two locking

R locking blades (Refer to Figure 29). Apply light nuts of the stage 7

inward pressure and make sure the probe is coupled with the liner by

watching the flaw detector time base response. Withdraw the probe

manipulator assembly slightly and watch the change in time base display

when the probe is not coupled. Return the probe to the coupled position.

NOTE: Water levels in the container must be monitored through the

inspection. If the container is found to be empty during the

inspection, the container must be refilled and the inspection

repeated.

(2) When the probe is coupled, zero the turning tool counter number datum and

begin the inspection. If the HP compressor is being turned manually, use a

borescope to locate a datum feature that can be used to confirm a complete

rotation of the drum.

NOTE: 1. The flaw detector should be monitored for signals that move

along the timebase in the gated area. Any ultrasonic responses

R that break the alarm gate (40 percent) will cause the engine to

be rejected (Refer to Figure 25).

2. During inspection monitor the distilled or de-ionised water

level, replenish as necessary.

(7) If the probe 'picks up' or 'chatters' when the HP compressor is rotated in

a clockwise direction, Rotate the HP compressor in a counterclockwise

direction and repeat the inspection.

NOTE: 1. It is expected that there may be differences in signals when

the HP compressor is rotated in different directions. This is

because the direction of rotation changes the way the probe

sits on the liner. Additionally, the water comes in from one

direction only, which affects the function of the couplant, It

is recommended not to change the direction of rotation during

an inspection pass.

2. Missing stage 7 liner directly underneath the path of the probe

may cause damage to the probe, requiring the probe to be lifted

off the liner during inspection. If liner loss under the path

of the probe is found, this must be noted on the Accomplishment

Proforma, as well as the percentage of the circumference which
