Micro Borescopes that are 3.0 mm (0.12 in) and smaller in diameter can be used to inspect the interior of castings and machined parts. A micro or mini borescope can actually be as small as 0.35 mm (0.013 in). It is common that manufacturers will want to know the condition of interior channels and other [...]

Circulating water pumps deliver cooling water to equipment that condenses the steam coming from a turbine. This is an extremely important component for a fossil power plant that operates a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG). The internal workings of a circulating water pump needs to be operating at peak efficiency. It is possible for internal [...]

The Burrowing Owl, a California Species of Special Concern isn’t your average owl: it doesn’t live in trees, and it’s not nocturnal. It makes its nest underground — usually in abandoned rodent burrows — and is active both day and night. But human population explosion has reduced the charismatic western burrowing owl’s breeding populations by [...]

Boilers are extensively inspected with pipe cameras and video borescopes. Inspections include: boiler fittings for security, boiler feet for cracks and distortion. Pipe Inspection Cameras and Video Borescopes can be used to inspect the internal condition of boilers tubes. A boiler needs to periodically have its cooling tubes checked for imperfections. a pipe inspection camera [...]

As castings come off the foundry line, they need to be thoroughly inspected. The casting of metal may include gaseous inclusions, bits of core sand or ceramic that breaks off and falls into the molten metal, excessive flash where the molds join and other imperfections. Many castings have complex shapes and and are therefore difficult [...]

Micro Borescopes as small as 0.5 mm (0.019 in) are used to inspect inside the smallest areas on turbines blades. Turbine blades and vanes have cooling holes to direct air inside and help reduce the temperature of the blade or vane in areas such as the combustion section of a gas turbine. Small diameter micro [...]

Oil refineries have multiple inspection requirements that videoscopes, video borescopes and pipe inspection cameras can perform. Refineries have many critical components that need to be functioning at peak performance and the only way to inspect some of these areas is with the use of remote visual inspection equipment.
Applications where videoscopes, video borescopes or pipe inspection [...]
