Introduction
This guide is intended exclusively for the owners and operators
of CFM56 aero turbo machinery. It has been prepared as a guide
for use in the analysis of debris collected from or generated by
the lubrication system of these engines. The purpose of this
guide is to enable quick and accurate identification of
contaminates and debris material.
The visual identification of debris is a valuable skill, but can not
substitute for laboratory analysis to confirm material
identification.
The data presented here does not supersede or replace any FAA
approved documents. This document and the material within it
are subordinate to Aircraft and Engine Maintenance Manuals.
Hardware location
Hardware location is not included for all debris noted. This guide
is produced for multiple CFM engine lines and material from one
engine location may not correspond to a different engine.
Additionally, in the future hardware may be redesigned with
different materials.

Introduction (cont.)
Debris acceptability/serviceability
Some debris may be acceptable to one engine model, but not to
another. Additionally, Engine and Aircraft Maintenance Manual
limits are subject to change. Refer to applicable AMM

Debris collection
Collection of debris is primarily accomplished via magnetic
detectors and/or scavenge screens. See AMM for proper
assembly and disassembly techniques.
If debris is found, proper tracking and collection is critical to
determining which hardware needs to be inspected or replaced.

Bearing information
The primary objective of debris identification is for the detection
of bearing distress prior to failure. Any bearing debris
identification, either visually or by laboratory analysis, is cause
for immediate concern. The following visual characteristics can
be helpful in distinguishing bearing material.
