“Engineering Checklist for Initial & Final Shop Inspections”
Item Description of Task to be Accomplished Completed
Number (Yes, No or
N/A)
The Following check-list is not fully inclusive, if a review is necessary
add it to the list below to capture it for the next available update of this
procedure.

1 Review Mill Certificates of all new Components (including welding

consumables)
2 Review NDT Reports of NDT Tests (Appendix 1)
3 Review NDT Certificates of Level II Inspectors performing Examination
4 Review Shop Practices and Qualified Procedures
 NDT Practices, Procedures and limits
 Balancing Practices, Procedures and limits
 Welding Practices, Procedures and limits
o (Reference Machinery Component Welding Procedure
Check-list)
 Special or Standard Repair Procedures
 Tooling Calibration Records
 Repair criteria which requires engineering evaluations
 Etc…
5 Review Critical Test Equipment Calibration Records
 Electronic Runout Indicators
 Balancing Machines
 UT Flaw Detection Equipment
 Welding Equipment
 Stress Relief Equipment
 Temperature charts for ovens
 Micro-meter standards
 Etc…
6 Review Drawings of all modifications proposed or completed
7 Review Repair Scopes, job router forms and Recommended Procedures
8 Witness Balancing
 Final Rotor Balance
 8 pt. Residual Unbalance (including residual calibration
calculation)
 Final Electrical / Mechanical Runout
9 Witness Final Blue Check on Split-line and diaphragm half contact checks (do
not want internal recirculation between stages)
10 Perform Spot Check on Critical Dimensions (compare to original
Drawings - must be available at the repair facility)
 Critical Diameters (bearings, seals, thrust disk diameter, etc…) - 6
per shaft end minimum
 Shaft runouts (Probe locations, thrust face, seal shoulder face,
impeller eye and cover, shaft ends, etc…) - Spot check all
dimensions. Comparison required of actual to shop collected
data.
 Critical Component Face Runouts (impeller eye, impeller cover,
thrust collar, seal shoulder, etc….)
 Coupling Taper (Length, large diameter, small diameter, Hydralic
oil port cleanliness, etc..)
  Impeller Wheel axial stack-up dimensions (position) from Thrust
collar shoulder (to be within +/- 0.015”) from OEM print
11 Identify the presence of Stenciled Part Number and Serial Number
12 Review Results of Hardness Checks (Actual and Mil Reports)
13 Check the Component Magnetism Level (Gauss Level – 2.0 Gauss
maximum)
14 Review Engineering Calculations
 Shaft stresses if a repair was completed
 Interference Fit calculations for disc to shaft
 Repair design Calculations (for other Modifications such as inserts,
coatings, etc…)
 Component Stresses for all repairs performed
 Fracture Mechanic’s study if internal flaw was detected
 FEA Analysis Results from all studies performed
 Etc …..
15 Review Bolt Specifications
 Specification
 Torque Requirements
 Torque Tightening Pattern
16 The following data shall be available at the manufacturer’s facility for
final review, prior to final Mechanical Run test. (Note: If this data is not
available or cannot be produced the repair facility will be required to
disassemble the gearbox to obtain the missing dimensions.)
 Bearing and Seal clearances
 The Bearing Crush between the bearing
shell OD and the housing.
 Key Clearances
 Interference fit requirements of shrunk on
parts
 Final Balance & Residual Unbalance
Reports
 Lube Oil spray pipe installation location
and orifice installation
 Axial float of shaft & reference dimension
from active position to the case reference position
 Thrust end play
 Thrust Bearing Shims Dimensions (OD,
ID, thickness)
 Reference Axial position of each shaft to
the case with the final thrust set in the proper position.
 Labby seal clearances
 Shaft Shoulder runout at Rotating Seal ring
position (less than 0.0002”)
 Oil port flow check for obstructions
 Pressure test results (and methods used) if
case repair was completed
 PWHT Charts (if applicable for all
welding)
 Impeller Thermal gap check
 Impeller Face runout & diametrical
checks on installed rotor
 Impeller vane Count in each impeller
  Coating Inspection (if applicable) thickness
and “NO” coating applied areas (@ thermal gaps and at labby
positions). Compare to agreed upon coating drawing and
coating technical specifications sheet.
 Documented all Split Line Contact & valve
Blue Contact Check Results
 Results of Shaft Diametrical and runout
(Diametrial and face) Data
 Combined Electrical & Mechanical
Runouts
 Bearing Contact Check
 Bearing Crush Check (if applicable)
 NDT Inspection Reports and a copy of the
Inspector certification
 Coupling Blue Check
 Butt Gap Seal Labby’s
 Diaphragm High Lows, final side to side clearances and ERAG
Runouts
 Etc….
17 RTD identification and position identifiers tagged outside of the bearing
housing . This includes type, location and calibration checks
