The following acceptance guidelines meet the visual limits applied to many
detail parts (external hardware) on PW4000 engines delivered to Boeing Commercial Airplanes
Boeing may use this guide to assess visual anomalies, which were previously reviewed and
accepted by Pratt & Whitney prior to new engine shipment
Parts must also be representative of quality workmanship Due to differing manufacturing methods
the surface finish and, therefore the visual appearance, may vary The acceptance testing of
delivered engines will also cause discoloration of certain parts exposed to elevated temperatures,
particularly in the Combustor and Turbine zones
