摘要 |
An apparatus for inspecting a turbine blade tip shroud includes a frame comprising a top surface and a bottom surface that is alignable with the turbine blade tip shroud, and, at least one z-notch inspection slot that passes through the frame from the top surface to the bottom surface and is positioned to align with at least one z-notch of the turbine blade tip shroud when the frame is aligned on the turbine blade tip shroud. The apparatus further includes a removable z-notch inspection insert comprising a cross-sectional profile substantially matching the at least one z-notch inspection slot and comprising a z-notch guide face that faces the z-notch of the turbine blade tip shroud when the removable z-notch inspection insert is passed through the z-notch inspection slot |
