Back-to-back performance tests were run on seven airline low pressure turbine (LPT) modules and four new CF6-6D modules. Back-to-back test cell runs, in which an airline LPT module was directly compared to a new production module, were included. The resulting change, measured in fuel burn, equaled the level of LPT module deterioration. Three of the LPT modules were analytically inspected followed by a back-to-back test cell run to evaluate current refurbishment techniques.
