APPENDIX 1 (Page 1 of 2)

TABLE IV FOOTNOTES

1. Liquid penetrant inspection shall be performed as an aid to visual inspection in locating discontinuities. Only discontinuity size shall be used as a basis for rejection.

2. A linear discontinuity is one in which the length is greater than or equal to three times the width.

3. Any linear discontinuity over 1/16 inch in length located within a peripheral band 1 inch wide;

and whose major dimension is oriented normal to the blade edge shall be repaired.

4. Maximum spacing is the distance separating two adjacent discontinuities in terms of the major dimension of the larger discontinuity (D). Aligned non-linear discontinuities shall consist of four or more discontinuities in a line. Aligned linear discontinuities shall consist of two or more discontinuities whose major dimensions are oriented in a line. However, when the total length of the aligned discontinuities does not exceed the maximum length permitted for a single discontinuity, these aligned discontinuities shall be considered as one discontinuity, and shall not be cause for rejection.

5. When the major dimension of clustered discontinuities does not exceed the maximum size permitted for a single discontinuity, these clustered discontinuities shall be considered as one discontinuity and shall not be cause for rejection. Scattered discontinuities, separated from the cluster by 1/8 inch or more shall not be considered as part of the cluster..

6. Randomly dispersed casting discontinuities whose major dimensions are 1/16 inch or less shall not be counted in determining total number of discontinuities within an area of concentration.

7. More than six discontinuities whose major dimensions are greater than 3/32 inch in any 6 by 6-inch area of the propeller surface constitute an area of concentration. Each area of concentration shall be separated from an adjacent area of concentration by a minimum of 18 inches.

8. The total number of non-linear discontinuities may be increased to the combined total, or part thereof, represented by the absence of linear discontinuities.

9. For used propellers not originally inspected to the requirements of this standard, the allowable number of discontinuities in each area of concentration may be increased 15 percent for each blade surface, and the minimum spacing between adjacent aligned linear discontinuities may be reduced to 2D provided that: (a) the discontinuities do not exceed the limits of any other requirement of this standard, and (b) the discontinuities have shown no deleterious effects in service.
