PWC68832 – Pratt & Whitney Borescope Guide Tube

SN: PWC68832

Engine Model PW610F-A

This borescope guide tube is specifically designed to support the Pratt and Whitney Engine Model PW610F-A. The purpose of this borescope guide tube is do mechanically direct the borescope to the optimal location to perform the required borescope inspection.

Before introducing this borescope tool into the aircraft engine, it is imperative that the engine has cooled. This borescope accessory cannot be introduced into a hot engine as the composite material will be compromised.

The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW600 series is a family of small turbofan engines developed by Pratt & Whitney Canada producing between 950 and 1,615 lbf (4.23 and 7.18 kN) of thrust and powering the Eclipse 500/550, the Cessna Citation Mustang and the Embraer Phenom 100.

The PW600 is a two-spool engine with a two-stage high pressure compressor driven by a single-stage high pressure turbine and a single-stage low pressure turbine driving a robust, advanced technology fan. A high efficiency reverse-flow combustor ensures low emissions and fuel consumption. A high efficiency exhaust mixer further contributes to the engine family’s low fuel burn and noise. Furthermore, the latest Full-Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) provides reduced pilot workload and advanced engine health monitoring/diagnostics, assuring a high standard in aircraft dispatch availability. Special attention to “maintenance by design” enables fast access to engine externals. The result is a compact, lightweight design powering an impressive line of very light business jets.

“Compact and lightweight, the PW600 is built with half the parts of a conventional turbofan, also making it easy and fast to maintain. Capable of delivering from 900 up to 3,000 pounds of take-off thrust, the PW600 family incorporates the latest technologies to deliver highly fuel-efficient power with low carbon emissions. It also comes equipped with dual-channel full-authority digital engine control (FADEC), which translates into reduced pilot workload and engine monitoring with longer time on wing. ” (source Pratt & Whitney)

Do Not introduce this borescope tool into a hot engine.  The engine temperature must be below 130 degrees (54 C)

Extreme temperatures can significantly impact the integrity of the form and configuration of the guide tube which will compromise the effectiveness of the borescope accessory.
