The Overview of The Application of Borescopes

There are all kinds of applications of borescopes which approximately include the inspection of aircrafts, motors, electricity, industrial machinery, construction and pipeline / drain / sewer. And we will explain more in the following. First of all, in terms of the inspection of aircrafts and airframe , borescopes have a role to play. It is because regular inspection of turbine blades is extremely important to aircrafts. To be more precise, maintaining the reliability of the aircraft gas turbine, repairing the wear of components, and examining the contaminated fluids and leaks are what the borescopes can do for us. Secondly, a borescope can also inspect motors, such as engine combustion chambers including some parts as follows, valves, cylinder heads, piston crowns, liners and water pump weep holes. What’s more, borescopes can also inspect whether water pumps weep holes for coolant leaks and check fuel lines and tanks. Thirdly, borescopes can do more than that, and that is the inspection and maintenance of electricity . For example, the maintenance of nuclear power, water, wind, fire stations of pipelines / turbines and generators are the other applications of borescopes. 

 

On top of that, borescopes can also be used in the inspection of industrial machinery to  check the mechanical equipment and manufacturing equipment, surplus material inspection, big generators, heat exchanger. To be honest, the application of borescopes is a perpetual topic. Last but not least, borescopes are widely used in the inspection of construction and pipeline / drain / sewer. In terms of the inspection of construction , steel tubes can not only be used to examine corrosion and fouling, wall and other internal diagnosis, steel rust, bridge expansion joint cracking, etc., but also it can be used for tunnel lumen, observation of building models. As for the inspection of pipeline/ drain / sewer , borescopes can help check the corrosion and diagnose the blocking drains. Peculiarly, cracks, white spots, sand holes, pores and slag on the surface of pipeline and welding seam can be checked through borescopes. All in all, the application of borescopes is numerous and we will explain more details in the following paragraphs.

Application of Video Borescope – The Automotive Industry of The New Energy

Because of more and more serious environmental problems, more and more traditional automobile industry is replaced by environmentally friendly vehicles recently. Industrial videoscope (or electronic video endoscope) can be used to observe the interior of equipment or components without disassembly or damage, so it is widely used in the internal inspection process of traditional automobile engine, tube, casting and other various parts. The reason why industrial videoscope can be called electronic video endoscopes is that electronic video endoscopes are variants of industrial level endoscopes. Moreover, in the field of manufacturing and maintenance of new fuel-efficient vehicles, video scopes are gradually being used in more and more applications, such as battery detection.

 

To be more specific, the major components of the battery are the management system, thermal management system, evaporator, ventilator, air duct, etc. The videoscope can be applied to the detection of battery packs of new energy vehicles, and the probe can enter the inside of the battery pack for effective surface observation, which is more convenient for batch inspection and quality management. In the production and manufacturing of parts for new energy vehicles, a large number of parts are often produced by die-casting process. Thanks to the video scope view, loosening of the surface, cracks, sand, air bubbles and other defects caused by the casting process can also be efficient. In a word, an important tool in the service process is also an important test equipment for quality control of new fuel-efficient vehicles. Welcome to consult and know more.

Application of Borescope – Aviation and Helicopter

In general, used to inspect all kinds of possible leakage and malfunction of engines. pipes, tanks, etc, borescopes are great helpers for automobile companies. Aircraft are required to have on-condition maintenance because it is essential to ensure preventive maintenance before any unpredictable accidents in order to delay the failure, prevent any mishap and reduce casualties. As a result, there are  various types of inspections for aircraft to perform during. To help maintain the durability and reliability of the aircraft gas turbine, it is necessary to find any possible FOD (foreign object damage), wear and damage on-time. 

 

Down below are areas of borescope Inspection for aviation

  • Combustion Chamber: Burner cans are properly tested for any cracks. Fuel nozzles, louvers and other parts are tested for unnecessary coking, damaging, cracking and distortion as well
  • Compressor: Compressor blades along with guide vanes are tested for foreign object damage (FOD) and corrosion.​
  • Turbine Section: The highest heat levels are experienced in the first stage turbine; hence guide vanes and stationary nozzles can be burnt, cracked, eroded and damaged. Second stage blades are also subjected to rivet cracking and shifting.
 

Aviation professionals trust the JKVS-60034 Articulating Video Borescopes from OME-TOP for their remote visual inspection needs because we provide the FEATURES you need, the QUALITY you desire, and a PRICE you can afford.

 

Non-destructive maintenance inspections help guarantee that aircraft's components are still fully functional while allowing the plane to work inside their busy flight schedules with minimal delays.

Application of Borescope – Heat Exchanger Inspection

The heat exchanger inspection is a must-do routine for your heat exchangers because they can be adversely affected by loose debris, corrosion, pitting, leakage, etc. In terms of the efficiency of your heat exchangers, it will reduce their performance  in the long term if your heat exchangers do not have the inspection routine. It is because the reliable operation of systems using heat exchangers mainly depends on the health of components. 

In particular, these parts are subject to serious damage of oxygen putting and stress. When equipment wear occurs, it needs to be addressed right away, and that is why so many people rely on articulating borescopes for inspection of boiler tubes and heat exchanges.

 

Using an JKVS-60054 / JFVS-60054 / CT5-60054 Series articulating borescope allows you to correctly inspect these systems and identify wear, cracks, and leaks. In almost any case, these are the things that happen before catastrophic system failure. What’s more, if it caught on time, they are completely fixable, especially for the case of cracking. Cracks can develop at the welds or zones where heat is particularly harsh in many boiler tubes and/or heat exchanges. The cracking usually happens below the water level and it can become so severe that it leads to equipment failure — this represents a real hazard. Periodic equipment inspection with an articulating video borescope can help you identify and repair any cracking that’s present before major failure.
