Ultrasonic Inspection of Jet Engine Components in MRO 

Immersion Ultrasonic Systems for Regulatory Compliance and Faster Turnaround

Stringent regulations by aviation authorities such as the FAA and EASA have made immersion ultrasonic testing (UT D-Check) mandatory for various critical engine components during scheduled Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO).

In response, engine OEMs now require MRO providers to adopt advanced UT inspection systems to maintain compliance and airworthiness.

Components Now Requiring Immersion for Ultrasonic Inspection

The following scanning platforms are available:

The following engine models and components must undergo immersion UT per OEM and regulatory mandates:

  • CFM56-5B / CFM56-7B
    – High-Pressure Turbine (HPT)
    – Fan Disk
    – Front Rotating Air Seal
  • CFM LEAP
    – High-Pressure Turbine (HPT)
  • V2500, PW1100G & PW1400G (GTF)
    – High-Pressure Turbine (HPT)
    – High-Pressure Compressor (HPC)
  • GE90
    – Spools stages 2-5, 2-6

Each component requires adherence to specific inspection standards.
ScanMaster’s immersion UT systems are fully compliant with these specifications, offering MRO facilities the tools needed for fast, reliable inspections.
