    OGV Forward Rail Measurement Guide Tube Kit

    Uploaded by

    Nitin Ahlawat
    This document describes a borescope guide tube kit used to accurately and repeatedly measure the thickness of the outer air seal (OGV) forward rail on GE GEnx engines. The kit contains guide tubes of different diameters, a mounting plate, and hardware to securely position the borescope tip for measurements. Installation instructions and a process for taking multiple measurements and calculating the average thickness are provided to support consistent on-wing inspections.

    Background
    GEnx on-wing measurement of OGV forward rail thickness
    • Provide for repeatable/accurate measurement of OGV forward rail thickness
    • Determine engine CIS per measured OGV forward rail thickness
    • Record multiple independent measurements to determine most accurate OGV forward rail
    thickness
    • Support leading indicator data gathering for each OGV configuration

    Assembly instructions
    • Select appropriate guide tube diameter for flex borescope to be used (4mm or 6mm)
    • Insert guide tube until it stops as shown (design provides for guide tube placement in proper position)
    • Tighten guide tube into mount plate on each side using 3mm Allen wrench (provided)
    • Secure mount plate to bleed port with (4) provided screws using 5/16” Allen wrench (not provided)

    Borescope positioning
    • Place guide tube fixture at same location as drill fixture – orient
    forward and aft as indicated on mount plate
    • Insert flex borescope here – borescope will bottom out inside guide
    tube for consistent positioning
    Flex scope

    Measurement of OGV forward rail thickness
    Measuring and recording OGV forward rail thickness
    • After guide tube installation, insert appropriate flex borescope until it bottoms out in the tube
    • Take measurement, then remove and reinstall borescope to obtain 5 individual readings
    • Discard high and low measurements, average remaining (3) readings to obtain average thickness
