Initial Equipment Setup:

NOTE 1 :

The instruments listed in T able 1 are approved for use with this procedure, but are not supplied with the inspection kit GE - CFMI -

723.

Contact CFM for information regarding approval of additional instruments.

NOTE 2 :

Refer to the manufacturer ’ s equipment manual for the ultrasonic instrument being utilized for this inspection if any questions arise about the instrument’ s use.

ENGINE - Fan and Booster Assembly (72 - 21 -

00) - One time Ultrasonic Inspection of high time Fan Blades Dovetails

(1) Connect the ultrasonic instrument to the appropriate power source and switch the instrument power on.

Allow the instrument to warm up for at least 30 minutes or the manufacturer ’ s recommended warm up time.

(2) Connect the BNC end of the coaxial cable to the ultrasonic instrument.

(3) Connect the transducer to the other end of the coaxial cable.

(4) Adjust the ultrasonic instrument to the basic settings in T able 1 .

C.

System Calibration:

NOTE :

This inspection is performed using two dif ferent dedicated ultrasonic transducers to direct a refracted shear wave into the area of interest in the convex and concave side dovetail edge of contact.

The calibration routine is the same but requires a separate calibration for each transducer prior to inspection.

(1) T ransducer 00 - 010106, Inspection of the dovetail concave side pressure face.

(a) Prepare the ultrasonic instrument and transducer as per paragraph

3.B.

(b) Apply a liberal amount of couplant Pharmacological Glycerine (CP1016) to the concave side of the calibration standard.

Refer to Figure 2 .

(c) Place the transducer on the calibration standard until it seats properly .

Refer to Figure 3 .

(d) Observe the initial pulse at

0.0 on the baseline.

With transducer coupled to the part, scan the area of the Side Drilled Hole (SDH).

(e) Scan the transducer across the calibration standard until the SDH is detected and maximize the response.

The SDH response should appear between

8.0 and

9.0 on the horizontal baseline.

Refer to Figure 7 .

NOTE :

Calibration Standard Correction Factors – Because of the dif ferences in the response resulting from possible variations in the fabrication process, calibration standards may have amplitude correction factors (equivalent responses) applied to them.

The Quality T echnology Laboratory will establish these equivalent responses by comparing the response from the GE Laboratory Master Standard to the response from each subordinate standard.

In cases where an equivalent response is required, this equivalent response applies to the calibration only and does not alter the amplitudes specified for indication evaluation.

(f) With the peak amplitude displayed, adjust the instrument gain until the response from the SDH is at 80% of Full Screen Height (FSH) (or the appropriate correction factor).

(g) Adjust the instrument probe delay so that the leading edge of the response from the entry surface (wedge signal) is at

0.0 on the instrument horizontal baseline.

Refer to Figure 8 .

(h) Using the instrument range control, adjust the response from the SDH so the leading edge is at

7.0 on the horizontal baseline.

(i) Scan the transducer back and forth on the calibration standard to confirm that the response from the SDH is at 80% FSH (or the appropriate correction factor).

(j) Adjust the gate from

6.0 to

8.0 with the gate threshold set to 30%.

(k) Note and record the instrument settings on inspection data sheet in

(2) T ransducer 00 - 010032, Inspection from the convex dovetail side pressure face:

(a) Prepare the ultrasonic instrument and transducer as per paragraph

(b) Apply a liberal amount of couplant Pharmacological Glycerine (CP1016) to the convex side of the calibration standard.

Refer to Figure 2 .

(c) Place the transducer on the calibration standard until it seats properly .

Refer to Figure 4 .

(d) Observe the initial pulse at

0.0 on the baseline.

With transducer coupled to the part, scan the area of the SDH.

(e) Scan the transducer across the calibration standard until the SDH is detected and maximize the response.

The SDH response should appear between

8.0 and

9.0 on the horizontal baseline.

Refer to Figure 7 .

(f) With the peak amplitude displayed, adjust the instrument gain until the response from the SDH is at 80% of FSH (or the appropriate correction factor).

(g) Adjust the instrument probe delay so that the leading edge of the response from the entry surface (wedge signal) at

0.0 on the instrument horizontal baseline.

Refer to Figure 8 .

D.

Hardware Inspection:

(1) Prepare the transducer being used as per paragraph

3.C.

NOTE :

Due to Fan Blade variability , it may be necessary to add 6 dB of gain above the calibration sensitivity for inspection.

This additional gain can be added at the operator ’ s discretion to visually determine there is enough ultrasonic background noise present during inspection to make sure that the probe is coupled to the Fan Blade dovetail properly .

(2) Position the Fan Blade so that the dovetail root is accessible for the side being inspected.

(3) Beginning at the leading edge of the Fan Blade Dovetail root radius apply a liberal amount of couplant Pharmacological Glycerine (CP1016) from the leading edge to the trailing edge.

(4) Place the transducer being used on the dovetail area near the leading edge until it is seated properly .

CAUTION :

HAPPENS, REMOVE THE EXCESS

(5) With the transducer seated properly , slowly scan the transducer assembly towards the trailing edge until the transducer is slightly of f the edge of the Fan Blade.

Use the centerline of the assembly for visual reference.

This can also be identified by monitoring the noise signals on the instrument display .

Scan speed should be approximately 1/2 inches per second

(1.27 cm per second).

Refer to Figure 5 .

(6) Add 6 dB of gain for inspection sensitivity if necessary .

(Calibration Level +6 dB).

(7) Reverse the direction of the scan and continue scanning towards the leading edge of the Blade.

Continue until the complete dovetail is scanned.

(8) Continue until the two scans have been made across the area of interest.

(9) Monitor the instrument for any indication that is equal to or exceeds 30% FSH in the inspection zone.

(10) Evaluate repeatable indications which are equal to or exceed 30% FSH and are in the gated region of the instrument display as per paragraph

3.F .

APPENDIX A:

Calibration and Inspection Data Sheet .

E.

Post Calibration:

NOTE :

A calibration check shall be performed upon the completion of each inspection, whenever any system component or operator is changed, at least once every hour , or any time the operator suspects a change may have occurred in the system.

(1) If necessary , remove the additional 6 dB of gain added for inspection sensitivity as per paragraph

3.D.(6).

(2) If the response from the SDH beats to within +/– 10% FSH of the initial calibration amplitude, the calibration check is acceptable.

(3) If the amplitude from the SDH response has decreased more than 10%, the system must be re - calibrated and all hardware inspected since the last acceptable calibration must be re - inspected.

(4) If the SDH response has increased by more the 10% FSH, the system must be re - calibrated prior to inspection of additional hardware and any rejected hardware must be re - inspected.

F .

Indication Evaluation:

(1) Any indication(s) that equals or exceeds 30% FSH and is in the gated region of the instrument display shall be evaluated.

NOTE :

For indication evaluation, all evaluations shall be performed at calibration sensitivity .

(If 6 dB of gain was added during inspection make sure it has been removed from the inspection sensitivity before performing calibration).

(2) Perform a post calibration check as per paragraph

3.E.

(3) Clean the area on the dovetail with an approved solvent and cloth.

(4) Repeat the inspection as described in paragraph

3.D.
