4. Procedure
Subtask 72-32-85-220-054-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL
A. Wear Measurement of the Attrition Linings
   (1) Measure the depth of damage using the IAE2J13056 GAGE - WEAR off, or equivalent.
     (a) Position IAE2J13056 GAGE - WEAR on the fan case so that gage body straddles the attrition lining.
     (b) Align the rear corner of the wear gage front side with the split line of the hook and the attrition lining.
     (c) Measure the basic distance between the measurement surface of the IAE2J13056 GAGE - WEAR and the original surface of the attrition lining with the vernier caliper or equivalent depth measurement equipment.
     (d) Measure the damaged area with same as above procedure.
   (2) Calculate the actual damage depth

A = Basic distance (Result of step (1) (c)).
B = Distance of damaged area (Result of step (1) (d)).
C = Actual depth of damage.
C = B - A
