Boroscopes (aka Borescopes) are useful and valuable NDT tools in any industry where remote visual inspections are essential. Traditional, non-video techniques for tracking an object, do not work as well within the environment a boroscope typically encounters. Using these devices you can get clear visual access to many hard-to-reach places without a complete tear-down of the components. There are two main types of boroscopes - rigid and flexible. You can get flexible ones with two way and four way tip articulation, as well as devices without tip articulation.

In recent years, the need to detect and dispose of bombs (EOD / IEDD) has increased considerably to counter terrorist activities. In addition to the smuggling of drugs, illegal aliens and other contraband, the threat of terrorism has now extended beyond Government personnel to include a variety of organizations and individuals.

The quality of welds is becoming increasingly important as customer expectations rise. Products and components are expected to be high quality and not to fail unexpectedly. Such failures have large financial and social consequences which can be avoided with proper inspection techniques, and tools. Inspecting welds directly can reduce costs by detecting defects in earlier stages of manufacturing, reducing the cost of customer returns and extending the life of the components by correcting them.

At the present moment products from RIDGIT are quite popular on the market. People like them for their ruggedness, good design, and wide selection of options. Here at Fiberscope.net we offer a very good selection of different devices for remote visual inspections. In most of cases our cameras have comparable quality, with the same or even better technical characteristics as SeeSnake tools, but at more competitive prices.

Casting is a manufacturing process that is used to make countless metal objects every day. Many of these metal pieces are extremely intricate and used as parts to make up larger complex machines, systems or units, such as engines, turbines, medical equipment etc. Inspecting these casting, before and during use is beneficial to maintaining the systems they make up. A rigid or flexible borescope is often the easiest, most efficient and fastest way to inspect the finer details inside of metal castings.

Video Borescopes and Snake Scopes for Building and House Inspectors. Within the construction industry clients have to deal with constantly increasing safety requirements, which is an optimal time to implement an industrial borescope for inspections. Medit’s borescopes enable substantial examinations of buildings without interfering with their construction. These inspections can detect: * Biological damage, * Chemical damage, * Damage of a material/structural nature or * Damage caused by faulty building With our borescopes and snake scopes inspections can be documented quickly and with very little expenditure, particularly in the field. Remote Visual Inspection (RVI) applications in the building and construction industry are extensive, including air conditioning ducts, wall cavities, ventilation systems, ceiling, roof and floor voids, water tanks and pipes, wiring and boiler flues.

Turbines and generators are important pieces of machinery that need to be properly maintained and repaired to ensure maximum service life and safety. Non destructive remote visual inspection of turbines with a video borescope is a cost effective and efficient way to inspect without having to disassemble a turbine. Steam and gas turbines run at extremely high pressures, and they need to be kept in good mechanical shape to efficiently do their jobs. Not only is efficiency a concern, no one wants to learn there is a problem with the gas turbine in their engine while in use, proper maintenance checks can play a huge role in ensuring the functionality and safety of these engines.

Water and wastewater pipelines require ongoing maintenance and quick, professional emergency response to avoid costly repairs, major financial losses, frustration on the side of the clients and al lot of other problems. Whether it is a simple sewer clog in a residential building or a pipeline problem at a water treatment plant, they need to be dealt with immediately. Whoever provides the quickest and the most efficient solution will get the job in the future.

Visual inspections of engines and other hard to visualize places are an important part of ongoing automotive maintenance. Rigid and flexible borescopes are a great way to visually inspect engines without having to dismantle the engine block, as they allow you to remotely visualize dark, small, and hard to reach places. Routine inspection with a borescope will allow you identify problem areas and to replace or repair parts before they are causing problem. Flexible borescopes can also be used to track through parts of a fluid or air system to find leaks or blockages in hoses.
