C. Corrosion can occur in the horizontal flange of the tee chord of the keel 
beam (Structural Item Interim Advisory 757-28).
D. The surfaces inside the wheel well are exposed to air contaminants and run-way splash and are subject to corrosion.
E. External  drains are either leaf spring or plunger type drain valves, and 
they close when the airplane is pressurized. Drain paths through the inter-nal structure go to the external drain valves. Refer to 53-40-02, Fig. 1, 
for valve location.
F. A coat of BMS 3-23, type II corrosion preventive compound is applied to 
structure within 2 inches of the body skin, and the body skin itself, from 
stations 940 to 1040. On airplanes line number 241 and on, per PRR 54133, 
this compound extends the full length of Section 44, and also includes the 
upper surface of the passenger floor.
G. The corrosion  protective finish for the structure surrounding the No. 1 
cargo and No. 2 passenger door opening consists of a chemical conversion 
coating (alodine) on clad aluminum parts, anodize surface treatment for 
non-clad parts and a coat of BMS 10-11, type I primer. The doubters around 
the doors are installed with fay surface sealant. All non-aluminum fasteners 
which penetrate the exterior skin are installed with wet sealant. After 
assembly, a touchup coat of BMS 10-11, type I primer is applied to bare fas-teners and a coat of BMS 10-11, type II white enamel is applied around the 
doors. A coat of BMS 3-23 is applied except on the door assembly and door 
opening (Ref 53-40-04, Fig. 1).

H. The primary corrosion  area is under the door sill, floor panels, floor beams 
and doubters or triplers at door openings.
I. The stringers, frames and skins can get corrosion because of moisture caught 
between the skin and insulation blankets. Corrosion starts at broken protec-tive finishes. The lower lobe structure is the same as in Section 43 (Ref 
53-30-02, Fig. 1).
J. Insulation blankets are provided on cabin interiors for passenger comfort 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址:757 防腐手册 CORROSION PREVENTION MANUAL(31)
