it to local CFM representative (or through a CSC case). Refer to
4.APPENDIX A: Calibration and Inspection Data Sheet.
B. RC - Equipment Setup:
(1) The instruments listed in Table 1 Table 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: 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.
(2) RC - 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.
(3) RC - Connect the BNC end of the coaxial cable to the ultrasonic
instrument.
(4) RC - Connect the transducer to the other end of the coaxial cable.
(5) RC - Adjust the ultrasonic instrument to the basic settings in

Table 1 Table 1.
C. RC - System Calibration:
NOTE: This inspection is performed using two different 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) RC - Transducer 00-010106, Inspection of the dovetail concave side

pressure face.
(a) RC - Prepare the ultrasonic instrument and transducer as per

paragraph 3.B.

April 20/2018 CFM56-7B S/B 72-1033

CFM56-7B
SERVICE BULLETIN
(d) RC - 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) RC - 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 differences 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 Technology 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) RC - 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) RC - 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) RC - Using the instrument range control, adjust the response

from the SDH so the leading edge is at 7.0 on the horizontal
baseline.
(i) RC - 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) RC - 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

D. RC - Hardware Inspection:
April 20/2018 CFM56-7B S/B 72-1033

CFM56-7B
SERVICE BULLETIN
(1) RC - 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) RC - Position the Fan Blade so that the dovetail root is accessible
for the side being inspected.
(3) RC - Beginning at the leading edge of the Fan Blade Dovetail

root radius apply couplant Glycerin from the leading edge to the
trailing edge.
(4) RC - Place the transducer being used on the dovetail area near the
leading edge until it is seated properly.
CAUTION: EXCESSIVE COUPLANT MAY ACCUMULATE IN FRONT OF THE TRANSDUCER

AT THE EDGE OF THE PRESSURE FACE AND CAN CAUSE IRRELEVANT
INDICATIONS TO APPEAR IN THE INSPECTION ZONE. IF THIS
HAPPENS, REMOVE THE EXCESS COUPLANT WITH A CLEAN CLOTH.
(5) RC - With the transducer seated properly, slowly scan the

transducer assembly towards the trailing edge until the transducer
is slightly off 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) RC - Add 6 dB of gain for inspection sensitivity if necessary.

(Calibration Level +6 dB).
(7) RC - Reverse the direction of the scan and continue scanning

towards the leading edge of the Blade. Continue until the complete
dovetail is scanned.
(8) RC - Continue until the two scans have been made across the area
of interest.
(9) RC - Monitor the instrument for any indication that is equal to or

exceeds 30% FSH in the inspection zone.
(10) RC - 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.

(11) Upon completion of the inspection area, document the results
on the inspection sheet in 4.APPENDIX A: Calibration and
Inspection Data Sheet . For all initial inspections per
this Service Bulletin, send the completed inspection sheet to
cfm56_fanbladeinspection.sae@safrangroup.com.
E. RC - Post Calibration:
(1) RC - A calibration check shall be performed upon the completion of

paragraph paragraph 3.D., whenever any system component or operator
is changed, at least once every hour.
(2) RC - If necessary, remove the additional 6 dB of gain added for

inspection sensitivity as per paragraph paragraph 3.D.(6).
(3) RC - If the response from the SDH repeats to within +/- 10% FSH
of the initial calibration amplitude, the calibration check is
acceptable.
(4) RC - 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.
(5) RC - 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. RC - Indication Evaluation:
(1) RC - Any indication(s) that equals or exceeds 30% FSH and is in the
gated region of the instrument display shall be evaluated.
(a) RC - 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) RC - Perform a post calibration check as per paragraph 3.E.
