AIM BLOCK 1 WEEK 3 INSPECTION
CONCEPT AND TECHNIQUES
2 methods of generating radiation - gama rays and x-rays
3 types of ultrasonic inspections - pulse echo, through transmission, and
resonance
Can a A&P mechanic do a 100 hour inspection - yes
can perform ATC tests and inspection - repair center
center head - used to find the center of objects (such as round bar stock
CFR meaning - Code of Federal Regulations
continuous magnetism - Requires that a part be subjected to the magnetizing
force when the testing medium is applied
dial indicators purpose - used to check shafts for out-of-roundness and for bends
Dry developer - small parts are placed in a bin of loose developer. large parts, dry
powder is applied with a brush or powder gun. after the recommended time the
excess is removed with low air pressure
, dwell time - amount of time required for penetrant to cure
eddy current test - electrical current is applied to a coil(an electromagnet) which
in turn sends electrons through a component
FAA meaning - Federal Aviation Administration
flux - flow if magnetism through a part
hermaphrodite calipers - used to mark distances away from edges
IA meaning - inspection authorization
inside calipers - measures the inside diameter of a hole
inspection of composite materials includes - tap test, electric conductivity test,
thermographic
Liquid dye penetrant inspection - method of detecting discontinuities only on the
surface of objects
Micrometer Calipers - used to measure thickness of an objects and to check for
out-of-roundness if cylindrical objects used to measure fit if engine parts
must have an inspection every 12 calendar months - progressive and annual
