Borescopy, also known as Remote Visual Inspection (RVI), is a non-destructive testing (NDT) technique used to visually inspect the interior of structures, components, and machinery remotely using specialized optical devices. This method allows inspectors to assess the condition, integrity, and performance of inaccessible or confined spaces without the need for disassembly or invasive inspection methods.
Applications of Borescopy/RVI :
Industrial Machinery Inspection: Borescopy/RVI is commonly used to inspect internal components of industrial machinery, such as turbines, engines, pumps, and compressors, for wear, corrosion, fouling, and other defects affecting performance and reliability.
Aerospace Component Inspection
Pipeline and Piping Inspection.
Advantages of Borescopy/RVI :
Non-Destructive: Borescopy/RVI is a non-destructive inspection method that does not alter or damage the inspected structure or component, preserving its integrity and functionality.
Remote Inspection: It allows inspectors to access and inspect hard-to-reach or confined spaces remotely, reducing the need for disassembly, scaffolding, or confined space entry, and minimizing downtime and disruption to operations.
