3. SHOP MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY 3.1 General
Honeywell APU’s are designed and qualified as on-condition units. With periodic checks and shop visits the APU can continue operation utilizing the full service life of most components, provided design knowledge and shop experience are used to avoid premature in-service issues and failures. The Honeywell shop maintenance philosophy for APU’s described in more detail in Appendix I uses knowledge of the design intent/capability coupled with repair facility and operator experience to develop the most effective Workscope for units returned to the shop. Continue-time of units, modules, or parts is emphasized to avoid unnecessary exposure, repair, or replacement. There are several key considerations in developing the Workscope: •
Aircraft and operator maintenance specifications and requirements (Instructions for Continued Airworthiness or ICA)
•
Operator expectations for an acceptable time between shop visit
•
Variations in operating environment and on-wing maintenance practices
•
Reliance on realistic and effective inspection/check criteria continuously updated using shop experience
The IRM provides two sets of check criteria, Continue-time and Zero-time, to support the WPG philosophy. The Continue-time criteria equates to an “Inspected” or “Repaired” notation on the Regulatory Airworthiness Form (8130). Zero-time criteria equates to “Overhauled” notation on the form. The decisions from the workscope development contained in this document determine which set of check criteria to use. A Light or Medium Repair level as defined below utilizes Continue-time Check criteria. A Heavy Repair as defined below utilizes Zero-time Check criteria. The CMM supports the WPG Continue-time philosophy by providing: •
•
Limited test table to allow partial testing for Continue-time units Continue-time (Repaired) and Zero-time (Overhaul) operating limits and test release limits where feasible

Copying, use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to proprietary restrictions.
3.2 Levels of Repair
There are three levels of repair for the 331-250 APU: Light Repair •
•
External work only (calibration, adjustment, electrical, plumbing, LRU repair/replacement, etc.) and/or partial gearbox repair. Exposed parts checked to IRM Continue-time and General Check criteria.
Medium Repair •
•
•
Complete gearbox disassembly and/or partial or complete disassembly of the load compressor and/or power section with reuse or limited repair/replacement of parts. Exposed parts checked to IRM Continue-time and General Check criteria. Limited use of IRM Zero-time Check criteria, as requested by repair facility engineering, where additional checks are needed on specific parts based on part condition, failure mode or operating environment.
Heavy Repair •
At a minimum, complete disassembly of the power section and load compressor.
•
Power section and load compressor parts checked to IRM Zero-time Check criteria.
•
Other exposed parts checked to IRM Continue-time and General Check criteria.
•
Limited use of IRM Zero-time Check criteria, as requested by repair facility engineering, where additional checks are needed on specific parts based on part condition, failure mode or operating environment.

4. APU WORKSCOPE DEVELOPMENT
The following information (if available) assists in developing an effective APU workscope: 4.1 Customer Documentation •
•
Reason for removal On-wing complaints and maintenance actions prior to removal (last 90 days preferred)
•
Customer Maintenance Specification or Statement of Work requirements
•
Life Limit cards for all Life Limited Parts (LLP)
4.2 APU Last Shop Visit History •
Reason for removal at last shop visit
•
APU hours since last shop visit
•
APU hours since last Heavy Repair (Overhaul)
•
Work accomplished at last shop visit
•
Final (Release) test cell performance at last shop visit
4.3 As-received Checklist
The following checklist is used to assess the general condition of the APU. Table 1. As-received Checklist
Condition and description of the APU shipping container Overall APU condition recording any handling damage and missing components Inventory customer furnished and aircraft interface parts (QEC) Inventory the components and accessories recording part number and serial number Electrical harness and connector damage Damage to mounts, ducts, thermal blankets, brackets, clamps, plumbing and components Damage or debris in the inlet and tailpipe areas Freedom of APU rotation Freedom of IGV movement External fuel and oil leaks Condition of fuel and oil filters and filter bowl contents Chip detector, magnetic plug, and monopole for damage and presence of metal Condition of residual oil and presence of contamination and debris

4.4 Spectrographic Oil Analysis Program (SOAP) and Oil Filter Back-flush Analysis
In general SOAP and oil filter back-flush analysis is not recommended, however if an analysis is conducted the following guidelines are provided. If metal is observed refer to Appendix II for further diagnostics. •
•
•
•
•
For a typical APU returning with average service time and no physical metal indications, total filter back-flush contamination weight less than 40 mg is considered normal. For a newly-overhauled (Heavy Repair) APU or after a 25-hour penalty run, with no physical metal indications, total filter back-flush contamination weight up to 15 mg is considered normal. If total filter back-flush contamination weight is greater than 40 mg, with no physical metal indications, a 25-hour penalty run after oil/filter change is suggested. For SOAP results of quantities of less than 2 ppm for any metal are considered normal. For SOAP results in excess of 2 ppm, a 25-hour penalty run and recheck after oil/filter change is suggested along with a filter back-flush analysis. If the backflush requirements are met, with no physical metal indications, no further action is needed regardless of the SOAP results.
4.5 As-received Test •
•
•
•
Prior to an as-received test ensure operation of the APU will not cause further damage to the unit or pose a safety concern for test personnel. Use performance tests to verify the customer reason for removal and to reveal other problems requiring corrective action. Use data from high-time APU/LRU’s to determine service life of detail parts and the relationship between part condition and acceptable APU operation. Minimize as-received testing after experience is gained on reasons for removal, and failure modes.
4.6 Life Limited Parts (LLP)
Refer to CMM 49-22-63 for information about Life Limited Parts. •
Consider the impact of life limited parts on the APU workscope.
•
The customer is responsible for providing records indicating the total hours/cycles.
•
If the remaining life on a part is less than 2500 hours/cycles, the customer should be contacted to determine if replacement is desired.

5. LRU WORKSCOPE DEVELOPMENT 5.1 Regulatory Information
Workscoping/disposition terms differ from those required for Regulatory Airworthiness Forms (such as the FAA 8130, Block 12 Status/Work). These forms use the following words: ”New”, “Overhauled”, ”Prototype”, ”Inspected”, “Repaired”, “Rebuilt”, “Modified” (“Altered”), or “Export”. For Regulatory Airworthiness Form purposes, “Heavy Repairs” should be entered as “Overhauled”; “Medium and Light Repairs” should be entered as “Repaired” in Block 12. 5.2 Levels of Repair (LRU)
Similar to the APU levels of repair, components (LRU’s) have three levels of repair: “Light Repair”- IRM continue-time inspection criteria applies. No part exposure or replacement (only calibration, testing, adjustments, etc). Qualifies for a Regulatory Airworthiness Form (8130 or equivalent) noted as “Repaired”. (See IRM definition of “Continue-time”). “Medium Repair” – IRM continue-time inspection criteria applies. Partial disassembly and/or parts replacement (external component replacement, sub-module disassembly, etc) or complete disassembly with reuse (continue-time) of major parts. Qualifies for a Regulatory Airworthiness Form (8130 or equivalent) noted as “Repaired”. (See IRM definition of “Continue-time”). "Heavy Repair" - LRU Component Maintenance Manual (CMM) criteria applies. Complete disassembly, inspection and test of all major parts. The terms “overhauled”, “heavy repair” and “zero-time” are synonymous. Qualifies for a Regulatory Airworthiness Form (8130 or equivalent) noted as “Overhauled”. (See IRM definition of “Zero-time”).
WPG 331-250 [F]/[H] APU 24
Copying, use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to proprietary restrictions.
5.3 LRU Workscopes
The following information (if available) assists in developing an effective LRU workscope: •
On-wing squawks or APU test cell maintenance actions
•
APU/LRU hours (or calendar time equivalent) since last shop visit
•
APU/LRU hours (or calendar time equivalent) since last Heavy Repair
•
Work accomplished/test results from last shop visit and last Heavy Repair
•
Incoming induction checks/test to verify reasons for removal
•
Experience and knowledge of typical issues with the LRU
In some cases, even if a LRU CMM exists, continue-time check and limited test criteria for Light and Medium repairs is provided in the APU level IRM. If continue-time check criteria are not provided in the APU level IRM, the LRU can still qualify for a Light or Medium repair when partial or limited disassembly and check is accomplished. The LRU must meet the CMM test requirements if a limited test is not provided in the APU level IRM. Refer to the applicable LRU CMM for information including disassembly, cleaning, detailed inspection, assembly and complete test instructions. Table 3 provides suggested LRU workscopes based on APU/LRU operating hours since repair and module depth of repair. Table 4 provides Special LRU Workscopes based on unique operating environments and conditions.

Table 4. Special LRU Workscopes
The suggested workscopes provided in this table may be adjusted by repair facility engineering based on the APU/LRU time since repair, as-received condition, operational history/environment, and customer requirements etc. Special Condition High Sulfur/Salt Environments (Corrosive)
Suggested Workscope LRU’s exposed to these environments may require special attention in addition to what is listed in Table 3. In some cases LRU’s only require disassembly and cleaning to remove contaminants prior to return to service.
High Sand Environments (Erosive)
LRU’s exposed to these environments may require special attention in addition to what is listed in Table 3. In some cases LRU’s only require disassembly and cleaning to remove contaminants prior to return to service.
Wiring Harness Special Test
APU’s have been removed for cold soak start problems where standard troubleshooting procedures were unsuccessful. Electrical testing of the de-oil system revealed a problem with the diodes in the wiring harness which prevented proper de-oiling during APU start. The function of the de-oil system is not verified during APU test so the following check of the wiring harness is suggested at each shop visit. NOTE: The diodes are “Zener” diodes so the ohmmeter indication in the forward biased condition will be about 34.5 K ohms. Another method is to use the DIODE function available on some digital meters. Disconnect the starter terminal, de-oil temp switch (P25) and de-oil solenoid (P23) connectors. Verify POSITIVE continuity from the starter terminal to (P25) p in 1. Verify NO continuity from (P25) pin 1 to the starter terminal. Verify POSITIVE continuity from the main APU connector (P2) pin e to (P23) pin 1 and (P25) pin 2. Verify NO continuity from (P23) pin 1 and the main APU connector (P2) pin e. If repair is necessary, the diodes are located within the sleeving at the (P25) connector. NOTE: Wiring Harness may have gray or white sleeves. Both assemblies are considered acceptable for service.

6. GEARBOX WORKSCOPE
Refer to Appendix II for metal-in-oil guidelines and CMM 49-22-63 for disassembly and assembly procedures. 6.1 Gearbox External Visual Examination at Each Shop Visit •
•
•
•
•
•
•
Examine the magnetic plugs and residual oil for metal contamination. If significant contamination is found the gearbox should be removed for further examination. The Generator (or generator cover) should be removed at each shop visit. Examine the generator cavity for damage and contamination. If damage or significant contamination is found the generator should be sent for cleaning and repair, and the gearbox removed for further examination. Examine the generator scavenge pump (installed) for bushing migration. If either busing is shifted from the pump housing remove the pump and route for repair per CMM 49-27-15. Look for oil leakage from the generator, lube pump, de-oil adapter, starter motor, cooling fan, magnetic/drain plugs, oil sensors, oil cap/scupper, and sight glass, etc. Oil leakage at these locations can be repaired without removal of the gearbox. Look for oil leakage at the main gearbox to load compressor flange. If leakage is suspected, an operational check in a test cell is suggested to verify the source. Using the 5/16 inch drive on the forward end of the starter motor, or appropriate spline drive with the starter removed, check the clutch for proper “lock-up” in the counter clockwise (CCW) direction. In the clockwise direction (CW) the clutch should glide smoothly without rough or binding operation. Some friction may be felt when examining the clutch with the starter removed. If damage or wear is suspected (Pre-SB 49-5714) the gearbox should be removed to examine the clutch components for damage and wear. If Post-SB 49-5714, the clutch assembly can be removed for examination without removal of the gearbox assembly. The cooling fan should be removed at each shop visit. Examine the fan drive gear and idler gear in the gearbox for damage and wear. The “grind lines” from original manufacture may be visible across the tooth face and should not be obscured by a gray or dulled contact area or step. A polished appearance is a normal condition. A wear step, chipped or broken teeth, evidence of side loading, or a wavy polished appearance are not normal conditions. Axial movement of the idler gear in the gearbox is a normal condition.

6.2 Gearbox 5000 Hour Examination (Removal of the gearbox is not required)
If the gearbox has accumulated 5000 operating hours or greater, since last repair, the following additional examinations are suggested. •
Remove the starter clutch and adapter assembly (Post-SB 49-5714). Replace the inner shaft bearings and visually examine the remaining components for damage.
6.3 Gearbox Removed
If the gearbox is removed, the following additional examinations are suggested: •
•
•
•
Examine the starter clutch oil jet for contact with the generator oil-scavenge return tube. Contact between the jet and tube is not a normal condition. The tube can be adjusted to create a running clearance. If fretting is observed the oil jet can be removed for further examination. Examine for metal contamination. If significant metal contamination is found, complete disassembly of the gearbox is suggested. Examine exposed gear teeth for damage, wear and evidence of uneven loading. Wear resulting in a wear step (detected by passing a scribe of the tooth surface) is not a normal condition. Note damage to gears, bearings, tubes, retainers, seals, mating surfaces, threaded inserts, studs, etc. If damage is found, the gearbox should be disassembled to the extent necessary to repair the damage.
6.4 Partial Gearbox Disassembly
If the gearbox is removed and partially disassembled, the following additional examinations are suggested: •
•
•
•
Examine the bearing retainer (Spider) and exposed gearbox housing bearing liners for damage. Scratches, discoloration, and light scoring are normal conditions. Wear resulting in a wear step between the bearing race contact and non contact areas is not a normal condition. Examine exposed gear teeth for damage, wear and evidence of uneven loading. Wear resulting in a wear step (detected by passing a scribe of the tooth surface) is not a normal condition. Examine the combination idler gear (two piece gear) for cracks in the gear web and looseness of the “huck” bolts. Examine the accessory bores and mount surfaces for damage. Scratches, discoloration and light scoring are normal conditions provided leakage is not observed. WPG 331-250 [F]/[H] APU 32

•
•
•
Nicks, scratches, dents, fretting, pitting and other cosmetic discrepancies are normal conditions. Examine the load compressor outlet duct for damage, the presence of oil and the condition of the threaded inserts. Oil in the outlet duct is not a normal condition and may be an indication of carbon seal deterioration or oil ingestion. Note any damaged or loose plumbing, brackets, clamps, sensors, and ducts. Remove the IGV actuator and observe the movement of the inlet guide vanes. The IGV’s should move smoothly through full travel. Stiff movement is a normal condition. Binding or rough movement are not normal conditions and can indicate damage or corrosion. Excessively loose movement is not a normal condition and may indicate bushing or vane stem wear. The inlet screens can be removed to examine individual vane movement if wear is suspected.
7.2 Load Compressor Borescope Examination •
•
•
•
Examine the inlet guide vanes for damage. Erosion, scratches and discoloration and nicks without significantly displaced material are normal conditions but may be an indication of downstream damage. There should be two de-whistler baffles present. Broken, cracked, or bent vanes or de-whistler baffles are not normal conditions. Examine the load compressor impeller blade leading edges and contours for damage. Rough edges, erosion, and a few blade nicks (3-4 per blade) without significantly displaced material are normal conditions. Broken, cracked, or bent blades are not normal conditions. Examine the load compressor shroud for damage. Scratches, nicks and scoring are normal conditions. Heavy contact between the impeller and shroud or separation of shroud material is not normal and may be an indication of bearing deterioration, improper shimming of the impeller or severe surge.

10. SPECIAL APU WORKSCOPES
The following information is supplemental to the module workscopes (Sections 6 thru 8) providing specific workscope instructions for unique operating conditions. The suggested workscopes provided in this table may be adjusted by repair facility engineering based on the APU/LRU time since repair, as-received condition, operational history/environment, and customer requirements etc. Table 6. Special APU Workscopes Special Condition High Sulfur Environments (Corrosive)
Suggested Workscope A significant impact on APU service life has been observed on APU’s operated in environments high in sulfur and other emissions. The turbine section components, primarily the turbine nozzles and blades, exhibit a rapid deterioration compared to APU’s returned from other environments. A more detailed inspection of hot section components from APU’s operated in this environment may be needed. The following guidelines should be considered: Inspect turbine blades and nozzle vanes to the Zero-time check section. Utilize Borescope findings to help identify deterioration.
High Sand Environments (Erosive)
Environments high in sand can increase the rate of erosion on compressor and turbine blade airfoils. Buildup of sand within the APU can block turbine section cooling passages, combustion chamber effusion holes and carbon seal buffer air passages. A more detailed inspection of compressor impellers and turbine blades from APU’s operated in this environment may be needed. The following guidelines should be considered: Inspect compressor impellers and turbine blades to the Zero-time check section if significant erosion is observed.
WPG 331-250 [F]/[H] APU 42
Copying, use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to proprietary restrictions.
Special Condition In-Flight Oil Consumption
Suggested Workscope Look for evidence of oil leakage at the gearbox and scroll split line. Leakage can occur at altitude and not during ground operation. The use of a black light can help identify the presence of oil. Look for turbine seal and bearing cover gasket leakage. Deterioration of the lube module turbine scavenge element or blockage of the return screen can cause leakage at the turbine seal. Look for evidence of oil at the gearbox vent indicated the APU may be experiencing high gearbox pressure or leakage of the air oil separator seal. An evaluation in the test cell can determine if the APU is experiencing high gearbox pressure. Look for evidence of oil in the bleed duct and seal drain indicating load compressor carbon seal leakage or loss of seal buffer pressure. The use of a black light can help identify the presence of oil. Partial disassembly to access the seal and load compressor area may be needed.
Smell in Cabin
Examine the inlet area for ingestion of oil and other materials. The use of a black light or white cloth can help identify the presence of oil and is more dependable than a Millipore check in the test cell. Look for evidence of oil in the bleed duct and seal drain indicating load compressor carbon seal leakage or loss of seal buffer pressure. Partial disassembly may be required to access the load compressor area to check for leakage.
APU Lease Return
The following are minimum guidelines for a lease return APU, unless specified differently in the customer agreement. Additional work may be required as dictated by shop findings: 1.
Comply with WPG Sections 3 through 6.
2.
Perform complete power section and load compressor disassembly.
3.
Check all exposed detail parts to EM Continue-time Check criteria.
4.
Indicate work accomplished as “Medium Repair”.

good knowledge and understanding the aircraft system and end unit design intent consideration of aircraft, end-unit and component history focus on the reason for return and work accomplished at last shop visit knowledge of the typical design/service life of critical parts in the unit and potential to build, test and on-wing service life and cost
• knowledge of detail part design and manual check intent • avoidance of unnecessary unnecessary work that has has no perceivable benefit benefit to the end-user trained personnel and awareness with stakeholders… stakeholders… combined with • properly trained proper attention on all aspects of shop operations

1. METAL-IN-OIL APU/LRU WORKSCOPES 1.1 General
This Appendix provides information for thoroughly diagnosing and accounting for contamination of the lubrication system and oil-wetted components. The focus is primarily on metal generated by typical failure modes, with additional information provided as reference materials for determining the extent of the contamination. The objective is to use detectable indications of metal in the oil system to assure proper system and component cleanout without unnecessary disassembly or repair of the APU, modules, or LRUs. 1.2 Initial Investigation
The following information (if available) assists in developing an effective APU workscope for APU’s returned with contamination of the oil system: •
Review on-wing history/actions taken prior to removal relative to metal findings, rerun periods, and filter/debris samples taken prior to APU removal/return. The time of operation with a failed condition will greatly influence the extent of contamination and damage.
•
It is not uncommon to find some light flakes or ‘filings’ on filters/magnetic plugs on new or recently repaired APUs. This could indicate minor wear, insufficient cleaning from a previous failure, contamination during servicing, or debris from detail part repair or manufacture and should diminish within the first several hours of operation.
•
Check for obvious symptoms of metal-generation such as rough or restricted rotating group rotation or oil pump shaft shears (see Table II-5, Typical Failure Modes, Symptoms, Indications, Extent of Contamination).
•
If the checks above reveal no indications or source of failure, base decisions on the primary devices for indicating lube system contamination:
•
a.
Magnetic plug (see Figure II-4)
b.
Oil filter/filter bowl observations
c.
Oil filter impending bypass (pop-up) indicator
d.
Evidence of oil filter bypass/operating time with bypass
e.
Metal on speed sensors/monopoles
f.
Borescope findings
Having isolated the distressed areas, the knowledge of the lubrication system and shop experience is used to isolate to the problem. Some disassembly may be required. WPG 331-250[F]/[H] APU Copying, use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to proprietary restrictions. II-1
•
SOAP or filter backflush analysis may be used to identify debris in the oil or support the above visual observations. Table II-3 can assist in identifying parts from material observations.
•
Considering maximum particle passage sizes are helpful in determining extent of damage/disassembly required. Table II-6 lists the design particle passages in the various lubrication system components. Figure II-2 indicates the different levels of filtration/passage sizes on the oil system schematic.
•
An as-received test cell run, following removal of minor contamination, can be used to determine if the APU is “making metal” or exhibiting high vibration, fluctuating or low oil pressure, or oil loss related to internal damage. If no further contamination is found and all operating parameters are met, the APU should be considered for continued operation.
1.3 Oil-cooled Generator Failures •
Check and clean gearbox sump magnetic plug/chip detector.
•
If no cross-contamination, replace generator scavenge filter and clean generator scavenge screens.
•
Run APU for 15 minutes with generator load. If no further metal generated, consider for continued operation.

1.4 Oil Cooler Metal Contamination
Oil coolers can be flushed to remove contamination and should not require recore or repair for metal contamination only. The primary concern about cooler cleaning is not related to oil cooling, but leaving residual particles inside that could contamination the system. NOTE The largest piece of debris that can enter and oil cooler is the largest size piece that can pass through the oil pump (see Figure II-2 and Table II-6). The wavy fin cooler has 0.023 inch (590 microns) passages on the oil side (accounting for flow separators inside). This means pieces of metal less than 0.023 inch (590 microns) will pass through the cooler without obstructing it, and any larger pieces won't pass. The thermostatic/pressure valve has a minimum particle passage (MPP) of 0.100 inch (2560 microns) so it will most likely not trap particles. The cooler is downstream of the pump that has 0.200 inch (5130 microns) MPP, so any metal from the bearings will get back to the sump, picked up through a 800 micron screen, pass through the pump and on into the cooler (the 25 micron oil filter is downstream of the cooler). Typically only larger pieces of debris get into the cooler core oil passages and generally are easy to flush. They will be at the cooler inlet and should be flushed from the cooler exit side in order to not drive the contamination further into the core. 1.5 Bearing Contamination •
Bearings are designed to accept particle sizes up to 0.001 inch (25 micron) which is why most oil filters are 25 micron or less. As long as the filters have not bypassed (except for cold oil bypass), there is little concern for bearing distress from oil system contamination.
•
If the filter(s) have bypassed from being plugged with metal, there is concern that bearings may have been damaged by the debris.
•
Ball bearings are more susceptible to damage from contamination than roller bearings.
•
Jetted (by jets or passages) bearings are more prone to damage than splashlubricated bearings.
•
The material of the contaminants are important: hard metal (in excess of Rockwell C 42) greater than 0.001 inch (25 micron) will interrupt the bearing oil film and/or damage bearing metal surfaces, resulting in subsequent fatigue or oil starvation failure. Softer metals/debris will not necessarily damage the bearing if greater than 0.001 inch (25 micron).
•
Smaller particle debris such as from gear/spline/liner wear is not harmful to the bearing and can be flushed from the system. WPG 331-250[F]/[H] APU II-3

1.6 Descriptions of Engine Metals in Oil-Wetted Areas •
Ferrous metals are easily distinguished from such non-ferrous metals as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, bronze, CRES, Inconel, etc by their magnetism. Bearing and gear ring, rolling elements, and separators are ferrous. Refer to Table II-3 for common steels in oil-wetted areas.
•
Aluminum, magnesium, and titanium are not normally in contact with moving parts and would indicate an unusual contact between parts, or washout of machining chips.
•
Bronze material usually comes from gearbox bearing cages, pump bushings, or journal bearings (found alone in fine particles, bronze typically indicates normal wear rather than failure).
•
Silver is used as plating in main rotor bearing separators and some gears (found alone, this not a serious metal finding).
•
Magnesium from gearbox housings can cause the oil to turn purple.
•
Carbon in crystalline form is typically from carbon seal wear. Amorphous carbon is usually coke or degraded nonmetallic material.
•
Copper typically comes from electrical devices such as generators and starter motors.
•
See Table II-3 “Materials in Oil-Wetted Areas” for a summary of materials that might be observed in the oil system. NOTE
If oxidation corrosion is identified on an oil-wetted surface of any lubrication system component, all remaining bearings/gears/seals should be checked for oxidation corrosion.

Copying, use or disclosure of information on this page is subject to proprietary restrictions.
1.7 Types/Categories of Metal Debris in Oil •
Very fine particles “filings” in filters and filter bowls generally indicate normal wear. If excessive wear is suspected, SOAP can be used.
•
Spiral, curled, and/or rippled chips or significant filings may be from machined parts that were insufficiently cleaned before, or shaved during installation or assembly.
•
Flat metal pieces can be from sheet metal parts such as shims, locking devices, retainers, wave springs, etc.
•
Round pieces can be lockwire, anti-rotation pins, keys, bearing screens, bearing cage rivets, coil springs, etc.
•
Flakes of silver are typically from main rotor bearing separators, and are not considered significant as a sole finding.
•
Chunks, slivers, platelets, and flakes of magnetic metal are typical of bearings or gear sources. Platelets usually indicate compressor mainshaft duplex bearing distress.
1.8 Typical Failure Modes Generating Metal
To help develop Table II-1, Table II-5, Typical Failure modes/Symptoms/Indications/ Extent of Contamination lists in greater detail indications and extent of contamination of various types of failures. This list is limited to actual known failure modes rather than all potential failure modes, and will be updated as experience dictates. 1.9 Metal Particle Passage Sizes
The particle passage sizes in Table II-6 were used to develop Table II-5. These are design parameters specified for the lubrication components listed. By considering the size of a metal particle found in the oil, the extent of travel of that particle can be determined. Shape and material are equally as important as size. For example, oil pumps will generally “chew” aluminum, bronze, copper, silver, and other soft materials and pass without damaging the pump elements. Bearings will also pass softer materials without damage. On the hand, some particle shapes can become wedged in pump passages and bearings and cause damage or seizure.
