STANDARD PRACTICES MANUAL (PN 585005)
MARKING OF PARTS − GENERAL−01
Task 70−11−00−800−001−001:
1. General − Marking Of Parts
See Figure 1.
CAUTION: THE MARK MUST NOT CHANGE THE CONDITION OR THE

OPERATION OF THE PART. ONLY THE APPLICABLE PRATT &
WHITNEY PROCEDURE IS TO BE USED TO MAKE MARKS.
A. General
(1) Marks made on engine parts, assemblies, or weldments

must be easily read and must not be easily removed.
(a) Characters must be easily and accurately read,

usually with no aid to the eye.
(b) Where there are unusual area or surface limits, a

maximum of 3.5X magnification is permitted to get
the necessary readability.
(c) The location of a mark must be as specified in

the Service Bulletin, Engine Manual, or Engine
Cleaning Inspection And Repair (CIR) Manual
R instructions.
R (2) Unless specified differently, reidentification of

parts, reapplication and/or relocation of marks on
a part must be done adjacent to, or in a location
almost the same as that of the initial marking. Where
reidentification or corrective marks are specified,
removal of all or part of the old marking can be
necessary. In these cases, use an approved marking
method to draw a wavy line, loop, flat oval, or X's
through the character(s) or symbol(s) to be removed.
(3) All the characters in a mark, unless specified

differently, must be 0.060 − 0.160 inch (1.5 − 4.1 mm)
high. In special cases, when the mark is a function of
the size or configuration of the part, characters not
less than 0.016 inch (0.406 mm) nor more than 0.500
inch (12.700 mm) in height are permitted. Refer to
70−11−00, General−01 (Task 70−11−00−800−001−002) for
special dot peen character requirements.

(4) If the surface specified for a mark will get a plating,

paint, hardcoat, anodized coating, or other surface
treatment coating, you must apply the mark before
you apply the coating. Use an approved permanent
marking method that will show through the final surface
treatment.
(a) If none of the specified marking methods will show

through the coating, then it is permitted to use
the applicable step to make the mark after you
apply the coating:
1 On external surfaces, apply the mark with ink

and a stamp and then apply a full layer of PMC
1641 Lacquer on the mark.
2 On internal surfaces, apply the mark by the

applicable step:
a If permitted by the repair instructions,

apply the mark by the vibration peen method.
b Apply the mark with ink and a stamp, and

then apply a full layer of transparent AMS
3132 Varnish − Phenolic Resin, Corrosion
Preventive on the mark.
(5) In electric arc scribing (for example, hand arc

scribing), the characters are made by the action of
an electric arc between a surface and an electrode
(scriber). Electric arc scribing is not a satisfactory
marking method to use on jet engine parts and must not
be used.
(6) In acid etching, the characters are made by the action

of an acid on the surface of the part. Acid etching
is not recommended because it can possibly cause
corrosion.
(7) Soapstone must not be used to make a mark on engine

parts.
(8) Wherever the vibration peen method is approved,

identify offset holes in mating parts with a vibration
peened "X" mark adjacent to the offset hole as long as
the condition or operation of the part is not changed.

Task 70−11−00−800−001−002:
2. Permanent Marking Methods − Marking Of Parts
A. General
(1) Permanent methods of marking are those in which marking

is legible during the normal service life of the
part. Also, refer to Part Identification Markings in
70−00−00, General−01 (Task 70−00−00−990−001).
(2) Permanent markings must not extend onto any radius,

chamfer, sharp edge, bead, or fillet adjacent to the
specified marking surface.
B. Applied Marking Methods
(1) Electrolytic Etch. Refer to 70−11−00, SPOP−401 (Task

70−11−00−280−006).
NOTE: Usually, this is a permanent marking method;

but, where specified, you can use it also for
temporary marking.
CAUTION: DO NOT ELECTROLYTICALLY ETCH ANODIZED

ALUMINUM SURFACES.
(a) Characters are produced by electrolysis confined

to the area of the characters by a stencil.
(b) This technique is sometimes used as a temporary

method. Do not confuse it with electric arc
scribing.
(2) Metal Stamping
(a) Characters are produced by forcible displacement

of material.
1 Hammer − characters are made one at a time or

in groups by a force applied mechanically or
manually.
2 Press − characters are made one at a time or

in groups by a force applied as you steadily
increase the controlled pressure.
3 Roll − characters are made as the part or the

tool or both the part and the tool turn when
they touch each other under a controlled force.
#70−11−00 Page 005

EFFECTIVITY −ALL GENERAL−01 DEC 1/08
000
Pratt & Whitney
(b) Stamps used for marking must make fillets and

radii at all intersecting surfaces of the
characters.
(c) Parts marked by this method must have the marking

area sufficiently back−supported to prevent
dangerous stresses.
(d) This method is not permitted if the hardness of

the part at the time of marking is higher than
Rockwell C45 or equivalent.
(e) If the metal is raised more than 0.001 inch (0.025

mm) by this method of marking, it is necessary to
carefully remove it.
NOTE: It is necessary to remove all raised metal

around characters on ball bearing, roller
bearing, and bearing race surfaces.
(3) Vibration Peen Method
(a) Characters are made by vibrations from a

radius−tipped, conical tool.
1 Manual − tool is manually guided and has one

tip.
2 Mechanical − tool is mechanically guided and

has one or more tips that can make one or more
full characters at the same time.
(b) This method is not usually permitted if the

hardness of the part at the time of marking is
higher than Rockwell C45 or equivalent. It can
be used on parts harder than Rockwell C45 when
specifically permitted.
NOTE: The vibration peen method can be an

alternative to use on those parts that had
drag impression or roll marking. The
vibration peen method can also be an
alternative to the deep dot peen method
used on turbine airfoils.
(4) Engraving
(a) Characters are made by a manually or mechanically

guided cutter or grinder that turns.
#70−11−00 Page 006

000
Pratt & Whitney
(5) Brand
(a) Characters are made by burning or displacing

non−metallic material with a hot tool.
(6) Drag Impression
(a) Characters are made when material is moved by

force by a radius−tipped conical tool, which is
drawn (dragged) across the surface of the part.
This tool is mechanically guided and turns freely.
(7) Blast
(a) Characters are made when an abrasive material hits

the characters in the stencil area.
(8) Dot Peen
(a) Definitions
1 Dot Peen Marking: Characters are made as a

series of dot−like impressions, marked on the
parts by a controlled compressive force. This
force is applied by a microprocessor−controlled
stylus.
2 Stylus: A metal shaft with a defined radius

on a conical tip that is driven into the part
marking surface.
3 Drop Distance (Gap): The distance from the tip

of the stylus to the part marking surface.
4 Force: The energy exerted by the machine to

drive the stylus into the material.
5 OCR: Optical Character Recognition.
6 OCR Reader: A video imaging device that

automatically deciphers alphanumeric characters
and electronically reports the characters to
another device (for example, a computer).
(b) Character Description
1 The dot peen character set is a set of

alphanumeric characters and symbols.
#70−11−00 Page 007

000
Pratt & Whitney
2 The characters are made by a pattern of dots

laid out in a 5 x 7 (width x height) matrix.
See Figure 1A (Sheet 1).
a The dot shape is a smooth spherical

depression or dimple with conical walls.
The configuration of the dot impression is
determined by the depth of penetration (that
is, shallow, intermediate, or deep).
b The character height must be 0.035 − 0.250

inch (0.9 − 6.4 mm).
c The character height/width relationship:

The character height must be ±8 percent
of the specified height. The width must
be 4/6 of the height ±8 percent. See
Character/Dot Relationships in Figure 1A
(Sheet 2).
d The dot placement distance between two

adjacent dots in the vertical direction
must be equal to (Height/6) ±5 percent
and in the horizontal direction equal to
(Width/4) ±5 percent. See Character/Dot
Relationships in Figure 1A (Sheet 2).
e Character spacing is the distance between

the center lines of two adjacent characters
and must be equal to the character
height ±8 percent. See Character/Dot
Relationships in Figure 1A (Sheet 2).
f Character separation must be a minimum of

one dot between adjacent characters. See
Character/Dot Relationships in Figure 1A
(Sheet 2).
g The maximum permitted adjacent dot overlap

must be less than 50 percent, so the center
of the adjacent dot is visible. See Dot
Overlap in Figure 1A (Sheet 2).
(c) Readability of Characters
1 Dot peened characters can be automatically read

only if they are correctly marked. Parts are
correctly marked when:
#70−11−00 Page 008

000
Pratt & Whitney
a The part does not move during the marking

procedure.
b The correct depth has been reached.
c The dots are well formed depressions.
d There are not too many pits on the marking

surface.
2 Reasons for Problems with Character Readability
a Part Movement: When the part moves during

the marking process, the characters are
deformed because of dot misplacement. This
condition makes interpretation of the
characters difficult.
b Depth: Marking must be of sufficient depth

to be visible after subsequent surface
treatments. Refer to the specific dot peen
marking depth limits in the Marking Depth
paragraph below.
c Stylus Control: Various problems with the

stylus can reduce the readability of the
dot pattern and cause the conditions that
follow.
· Extended Stylus: If the stylus

extends too far
beyond the stylus
nut, the stylus
will bow. This
condition causes
misplacement of the
dots, especially on
rough surfaces where
the stylus point
can be pulled into a
surface flaw.
· Broken Stylus: A broken stylus tip

causes irregular
depressions. This
condition reduces
the light reflection
for reading and
produces shallower
#70−11−00 Page 009

000
Pratt & Whitney
(CONTINUED)
dots.
· Flattened Stylus: A stylus tip that

has been flattened
because of wear
will produce shallow
dots.
d Surface Condition: Surfaces with random

buffing or grinding cause light to scatter
when imaging the marking for automatic read.
Overmarks cause readability problems because
of modified light reflections.
(d) Marking Requirements
1 Stylus Drop Distance
a For the initial setup for a part, set

the drop distance to the lowest possible
distance as recommended by the machine
manufacturer.
b Increase the force, as necessary, to get the

applicable marking depth.
c Only increase the gap when the force is at

the maximum machine setting or is no longer
effective.
2 Fixturing
a The holding device must prevent bounce,

vibration, or movement of the part during
the marking process.
b For sheet metal parts, give sufficient back

support in the marking area.
3 Stylus Direction
a Set the stylus at a 90 degree angle ±5

degrees to the marking surface.
(e) Quality
#70−11−00 Page 010

000
Pratt & Whitney
1 It can be difficult to measure the marked dot

depth on parts where the geometry will not
R permit an accurate result. Be careful to
measure correctly.
2 A systematic check is necessary to control and

prevent the deterioration of the markings over
time during the marking procedure. Use the
applicable aid that follows:
a A magnifying glass
b A vision system: TV camera, lighting, and a

monitor.
C. Marking Depth
(1) The maximum depth of markings, unless otherwise

specified, must be as follows:
Electrolytic Etch, Shallow 0.0003 inch (0.0076 mm)
Electrolytic Etch, Deep 0.0005 − 0.002 inch

(0.013 − 0.050 mm)

3. Temporary Marking Methods − Marking Of Parts
A. General
CAUTION: USE ONLY THE APPROVED MATERIALS SPECIFIED IN

THE PMC'S FOR MARKING.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE LEAD AND/OR METALLIC PENCILS OR A

TEMPORARY MARKING METHOD, WHICH CAN CAUSE
DANGEROUS REMAINING CARBON, ZINC, COPPER,
LEAD, OR SIMILAR RESIDUE TO OCCUR. THIS
REMAINING MATERIAL CAN CAUSE A REDUCTION IN
FATIGUE STRENGTH AS A RESULT OF CARBURIZATION
OR INTERGRANULAR ATTACK WHEN HEAT OF HIGH
INTENSITY IS APPLIED TO THE PART. IF A
MARKING MATERIAL THAT IS NOT APPROVED IS
USED, THE MARK MUST BE FULLY REMOVED BY THE
SPOP 208 SOLVENT WIPE PROCEDURE. REFER TO
70−21−00, SPOP−208 (TASK 70−21−00−110−040).
(1) Temporary methods of marking are those in which the

marks will correctly identify a part during the usual
handling, inspection, and storage of items before final
assembly and use.
(2) When you use a marking pencil, do not apply marks

to the surfaces of carbon seal plates or to mating
surfaces of finished machined parts. Marking material
remaining on these parts could cause incorrect results
during dimensional inspection and assembly.
(3) Remove these marking materials:
(a) Chalk
1 After inspection is completed, remove chalk

from parts. Use SPOP 208 Degreasing Of Parts
By Solvent Wiping. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−208
(Task 70−21−00−110−040).
(b) Dye, Layout and Identification

Task 70−11−00−800−001−004:
4. Service Time And Cycle Marking − Marking Of Parts
NOTE: Marking of hours/cycles on the engine parts is optional

to the maintenance of permanent records, paper documents,
or computer data base records. Refer to Evaluation of
Service Life (Hours and Cycles) in 70−30−00, General−01
(Task 70−30−00−200−002).
A. Service Time
See Figures 2 and 3.
(1) For parts with limited marking area, mark in area

designated, the numerals one through six leaving enough
space between digits for future insertion of dots.
NOTE: Some parts can have numbers one through twelve

incorporated by a permanent marking method
during manufacture. It is unnecessary to mark
these parts with numbers.
(2) Parts having accumulated service time previous to

adoption of this system must have inserted a letter
prefix before the first numeral according to the
following schedule:
Letter Total Part Time (in Hours)
A 251 − 750
B 751 − 1250
C 1251 − 1750
D 1751 − 2250
E 2251 − 2750
F 2751 − 3250
G 3251 − 3750
H 3751 − 4250
J 4251 − 4750
K 4751 − 5250
etc.
EXAMPLE: J123456 signifies total prior accumulated

part time is between 4251 and 4750 hours.
(3) Once parts have incorporated the letter−numeral−dot

system of marking, subsequent markings will consist of
adding dots as follows:
R
R #70−11−00 Page 019
000
Pratt & Whitney
(a) Each numeral represents 1000 hours. Dots placed

directly over or under numeral indicate that time
accumulated during engine run was in a range from
even thousand up to even thousand plus 499. See
Figure 2 for example.
NOTE: The example that follows signifies a total

part time of 9251 − 10,748 hours. The
letter "J" represents a part time of 4251 −
4750 hours when system was adopted, with
two subsequent engine runs, one of 2000
− 2499 hours and the second 3000 − 3499
hours.
(b) Dots placed between numerals indicate that time

accumulated during engine run was in a range from
even thousand plus 500 up to next even thousand.
See Figure 3 for example.
NOTE: The example that follows signifies a total

part time of 7751 − 9250 hours. The letter
"D" represents a part time of 1751 to 2250
hours when the system was adopted, with two
subsequent engine runs, one of 2500 − 3000
hours and the second 3500 − 4000 hours.
(4) Parts must be removed from use when part time reaches
the maximum part time allowed. This time limit applies
even though maximum number of cycles has not been
reached.
B. Cycle Marking
(1) In addition to recording total hours of operation it

is necessary to record total number of cycles for
specified parts.
NOTE: Refer to 70−30−00, General−01 (Task

70−30−00−200−001), for additional information
about, and definition of, cycles as they relate
to Service Life of Parts.
R
R #70−11−00 Page 020
000
Pratt & Whitney
(2) Record total number of cycles for such parts when

engine is overhauled. Use symbol "CYL" and an approved
permanent marking method below or adjacent to the time
marking.
NOTE: New parts installed during an engine repair

before normal overhaul period should be marked
"NEW" plus date of installation.
(3) Parts must be removed from use when the actual cycles
reach the maximum number of allowed cycles. This cycle
limit applies even though maximum part time may not
have been reached.

5. Marking Of Bearings − Marking Of Parts
A. General
(1) When necessary, bearings must be marked in an approved

area using vibration peening, electrolytic etch, or
drag impression.
NOTE: Although vibration peening is usually limited to

metals which are not harder than Rockwell C45,
it is permitted on bearing rings.
Task 70−11−00−800−001−006:
6. Interpretation Of Marking Symbols − Marking Of Parts
A. General
(1) Some disks and spacers may be marked with an arrow and
a dimension. This indicates that the mating diameter
was plated at manufacture. The arrow points in the
direction of the diameter plated, either front or rear.
Adjacent dimension gives the actual measurement before
plating.
B. Beehive Symbols
See Figure 4.
(1) A beehive symbol marked on a part indicates that the

part has been repaired by plating, plasma spraying,
epoxy adhesion, or flame spraying at manufacture.
Application of a beehive symbol on components after
repair is not required. Each beehive symbol and its
significance is shown in Figure 4. When practicable,
the symbol is located both near the part number and
near the repaired area.

(1) Put the coupling assembly on inspection rollers and

adjust, as necessary, to get the runouts required for
the datums specified in the CIR Manual or in the
Inspection section of the Engine Manual.
(2) Select a feature on the coupling (such as, the dimple

on the front face) and put a reference mark adjacent to
the spline.
(3) Run out the spline along the midplane; use the
recommended spline wheel and indicator holder shown in
Figure 6.

8. Marking Of Engine Cases − Marking Of Parts
A. When an Engine Manual specifies painting the engine model

or serial number on external cases, apply PWA 499 high
temperature color finish (paint) as follows:
(1) Clean the area to be painted by the SPOP 208 solvent

wipe method. Refer to 70−21−00, SPOP−208 (Task
70−21−00−110−040).
(2) Fully mix PWA 499 finish (paint).
(a) After mixing fully, the material must have an even

consistency and be without bubbles, grit, and
floating or caked pigments.
(b) The storage life of the product is one year from

date of shipment if the product is kept in the
manufacturer's sealed containers. If the product
has been stored for more than one year, it must be
examined within 30 days of use and agree with the
manufacturer's technical requirements.
(3) Apply PWA 499 finish (paint) to the part with a brush,
swab, or spray to the area specified in the Engine
Manual.
NOTE: Refer to PWA 499 in 70−12−00, General−07 (Task

70−12−00−990−007) for the various colors and
source of this paint.
(a) Thickness must be 0.001 − 0.0025 inch (0.026 −

0.063 mm).
(b) Routine examination is not necessary.
(4) Cure the coating by one of the methods that follow:
NOTE: It is permitted to touch the coated part after

30 minutes of air drying at room temperature.
(a) Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of 18

hours.
(b) Air dry at room temperature for a minimum of one

hour; then, dry in an oven at 600° − 650°F (316° −
343°C) for 25 to 35 minutes.
