Abstract: A method is provided for repairing a component of an item of rotational equipment, where the component includes a coating and a component body, and where the coating is on the component body and includes a defect. The method includes steps of: (a) removing a portion of the coating from the component body thereby forming a coating aperture, the removed portion of the coating including the defect, and the portion of the coating is removed such that the coating aperture has a coating aperture configuration which substantially matches a first patch configuration of a first coating patch; (b) preparing the component at the coating aperture to receive the first coating patch, (c) disposing the first coating patch within the coating aperture; and (d) attaching the first coating patch to the component body.

Abstract: A monolithic lead separator includes a primary lead tube defining a primary channel, a plurality of secondary lead tubes formed monolithically with the primary lead tube, and an instrumentation lead splitter. A cap is positioned in an aperture in the instrumentation lead splitter in a fluid-tight manner. Each of the secondary channels intersects the primary channel. The instrumentation lead splitter is situated at the intersection of the primary channel and the secondary channels.

Abstract: A template for evaluating a part, comprising: a surface having a shape corresponding to the part; and at least one element on the surface corresponding to a desired location of a feature on the part. A method of evaluating a part, comprising the steps of: providing a template having a shape corresponding to the part and at least one element thereon corresponding to a desired location on the part; associating the template with the part; and using the element to determine whether the feature is at the desired location.
