ODM System Main Purpose

Oil Debris Monitoring System (ODMS) provides

• Early warning detection of Engine an Accessory Drive train (ADT)
bearings degradation using data collected “real time” at each
flight
• Determination of serviceability

Means
• Cumulative Chip Counter and Single flight Chip Counter (last leg)
• Associated threshold alert
• Visual inspection

ODMS Visual Inspection – Visual Aspect
1- Visual aspect (shape, color, plated or not, laminated … )
Use the Field guide for Lubrication System Debris (ref GEK 131722) to provide accurate feed-back to CFM

ODMS Visual Inspection – Nature, Size & Quantity
2- Nature  magnetic or non-magnetic (non-magnetic includes metallic and non-metallic material).

3- Size, quantity
What is Fuzz on LEAP engine ?

Any individual particle LESS THAN 0.004 in (0,1mm) is considered FUZZ

and is allowed in any quantity.
However, anything larger in size may be considered marginal or unsatisfactory.

Use scale paper

to take pictures
with particles :

Take pictures of the scavenge screen plugs before any action

on them to confirm on which sumps there are particles.
