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 [...]
A long pipe inspection camera can be used to successfully inspect the condition of pipes on ships. Any large ship such as a cruise line, navel vessel or cargo transport has mile of internal piping. This piping is subject to harsh environments such as salt air and internal corrosion. If the pipe on a ship [...]
A plastics bag manufacurer recently needed to shut down production on a massive plasitc press that made common house hold garbage bags.

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 [...]
