Since one of remote visual inspections most common applications is the inspection of turbines It may be helpful to understand how a turbine works. Air is drawn into the engine and compressed as it travel though a series of rotating blades. The compressed air then passes into a combustion chamberwhere fuel is added, ignited and [...]
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 [...]
