A plastics bag manufacurer recently needed to shut down production on a massive plasitc press that made common house hold garbage bags. The press had developed a leak in a channel that forced the shut down. The only way to view the location and determine the exact source of the leak was with a videoscope [...]

Recently, Advanced inspection Technologies (AIT) was pleased to be involved with restoration work of the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, AL. AIT provided a flexible video borescope rental to inspect the interior plumbing of the memorial. Engineers rented the video borescope from AIT to snake through a pipe that normally delivers water to the memorial [...]

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 [...]

Cellular towers need periodic remote visual inspection. Videoscopes or Video borescopes are used to inspect the inner structure of the towers for defects. Inspector will look carefully for corrosion, cracking, pitting, oxidation, weld penetration and general condition of the interior of the immense structures.
Videoscopes are chosen for the remote visual inspection task because of their [...]

Video Borescopes are used to inspect Porcelain bushing located on electrical capacitors. The video borescope needs to be of an 8mm or 6mm diameter for best results and 2 to 3 meters in length. Inspectors insert the video borescope inside the bushing to inspect for cracking and other damage that may impair the optimal functioning [...]

Video Borescope inspection of large industrial compressors is periodically conducted to check for corrosion, defects and general condition. A large industrial compressor is needed to efficiently transfer oil and gas from point “A” to point “B.” Interior condition such as wear, pitting, corrosion and other defects may interfere with proper function of a compressor.
A video borescope [...]

Steel and concrete structures are subject to corrosion, fatigue, Wear and structural design flaws. Remote visual inspection can utilize industrial videoscopes or video borescopes to inspect inside voids, cavities and other impossible to reach areas to determine the condition of a bridge.
Borescope inspection of bridges—a videoscope or Video borescope is typically used to evaluate the [...]
