VISUAL INSPECTION − INSPECTION/CHECK−06

Task 70−31−00−220−106:

R 1. Visual Inspection Standards For LPT Vanes (All JT8D, JT9D, JT3D,
R FT8, PW2000, PW4000, And PW6000 Engines)

NOTE: Refer to 70−31−00, General−01 (Task 70−31−00−200−001) for

the definitions of the abnormal conditions specified in
this visual inspection standard.

A. Metallurgical Imperfections

NOTE: Unless specified differently, linear imperfections

are not permitted.

R NOTE: The subsequent limits supplement the inspection

R limits in the Engine Manuals/CIR (Cleaning,
R Inspection, and Repair) Manuals for the specific
R engines listed above. The limits are based on P & W
R Quality Standards for newly manufactured parts.

(1) Imperfections less than 0.015 inch (0.381 mm) can be

non−bottomed.

(2) Imperfections 0.015 inch (0.381 mm) or greater must

have a bottom that you can see.

(3) Any imperfections that are back−to−back are not

permitted.

B. Blending Acceptance Limits

(1) Acceptance limits for vane blending of single and

paired vanes are given in Figure 801.

(2) Acceptance limits for vane cluster blending are given

in Figure 802.
