Marine Propeller Manufacture And Repair Inspection Procedures

In the shipbuilding practice, marine propeller is one of the key installations. However, until now, there is not a set of systematic and operative instruction for guiding the on-the-spot surveyors to carry out survey and inspection in China Classification Society (CCS).Based on the Regulation of CCS, the paper is mainly devoted to completing the set of instruction through collecting the relative practical experience from many senior surveyors, and consulting QC/QA and designing experts in corresponding manufacturers, meanwhile, referring to China Vessel Standards (CB), China National Standards (GB), International Standards (ISO) and IACS' Unified Requirements (W24) as well as some Regulations and Instruction drawn up by other ones of the members of IACS such as LR. DNV, NK and BV, etc.In order to ensure the propellers of quality available, it is expected that the set of instruction would be helpful for surveyors to conduct the survey with proper, standard and unified procedure.
