Zusammenfassung:	A standardized inspection port system with common inspection port bodies and port plugs are incorporated in plural inspection locations within a gas turbine engine casing to facilitate internal engine inspection. The inspection ports preferably have identical internal diameter, stub flange dimensions and axial length from the gas turbine casing inspection seat to the stub flange for standardized mounting of inspection instruments at different locations about the turbine. The inspection port system components are preferably axially and radially aligned along the turbine casing for establishing a common reference position along all turbine blade/vane rows. The port plug incorporates a magnetically attractive pole piece for concentration or redirection of an attractive magnetic field circuit generated by an inspection port plug service tool during plug insertion or retrieval. Magnetic attraction to a service tool enhances controlled plug guidance and reduces likelihood of inadvertent plug loss within the turbine casing.
