Industrial videoscope is a NDT equipment used to inspect the internal conditions of machines, equipment, pipelines, etc. It can observe internal conditions that cannot be directly seen by the naked eye, helping engineers and inspectors to gain insight into the internal conditions of equipment without dismantling the equipment. This tool has a very wide range of applications. Industrial videoscopes are used in various inspections in industrial production. Some of the main application areas of industrial videoscopes will be introduced below.
Main application areas of industrial videoscopes:
1.Petrochemical
It can detect and inspect internal defects in storage tanks, heat exchangers, spherical tank trucks in petroleum refineries, pipeline facilities in the chemical industry, containers, cylinders, pipelines in special inspection institutes and pressure vessel production units. At the same time, there is no need to disassemble the equipment under inspection during the inspection process, which improves work efficiency and reduces repair costs. It also avoids damage caused by multiple disassembly and assembly of machine parts.
2.Aerospace
Industrial videoscopes are mainly used in the aerospace field for regular inspections of aircraft turbines, blades, engines, weld surfaces, duct surfaces, internal combustion chambers or body inspections, as well as for the research, development, and manufacturing of rocket engines. It can intuitively and accurately grasp the internal conditions of the engine, including the working condition and degree of damage of each component. Through industrial videoscope inspection, damage of internal engine components can be discovered as early as possible, which is conducive to taking measures to eliminate potential safety hazards as early as possible and avoid the expansion of faults. Compared with traditional methods such as overhaul and engine replacement, endoscopic inspection avoids unnecessary disassembly and transportation costs, saving maintenance costs. In addition, unnecessary aircraft outages were avoided, ensuring normal flight operations and airport operation order.
3.Power Industry
In the power industry, industrial videoscopes can be used to detect defects inside various equipment, such as turbines, pipes, condenser tubes, pumps, boilers, heat exchangers and valves. At the same time, it can also be used for equipment maintenance and upkeep. Through endoscope inspection, cracks, corrosion, scaling and other conditions inside the equipment can be discovered and determined in a timely manner to prevent equipment failures and ensure production safety.
4.Mechanical casting industry
Industrial videoscopes play an important role in the internal inspection of mechanical equipment and can be used to inspect internal defects in boilers, heat exchangers, engines and other equipment: potential problems can be discovered and solved in time to ensure the stable operation and safe production of equipment, and it can also extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs.
5.Railway and shipbuilding industries
Applications of industrial videoscopes in the railway and marine sectors mainly involve inspection of turbines, heaters, diesel engines, boiler flames and pipes. Turbines and heaters are important equipment in railway locomotives and ships. Diesel engines are the main power source of ships. Their working conditions directly affect the performance and safety of the entire system. Boiler flames are used for heating and powering in ships. It is a critical part, and its inspection can ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the efficient use of energy. By using industrial videoscopes, professionals can non-destructively inspect the internal conditions of equipment, detect potential problems early and perform timely maintenance and repairs, prevent possible failures, improve equipment maintenance efficiency and reduce operating costs.
6.Construction industry
The main use of industrial videoscopes in the construction field is to check corrosion and rust stains on building steel pipes, internal conditions of walls, rust and cracks in steel bars and support shafts, etc. By using industrial videoscopes, professionals can quickly and easily inspect the internal conditions of building structures and building materials, detect potential problems early, and prevent possible failures. For example, the inspection of corrosion and rust stains on building steel pipes can promptly detect and deal with the corrosion problems of steel pipes to avoid structural instability and safety hazards caused by steel pipe corrosion. Improve the safety and service life of buildings. At the same time, this non-destructive testing technology can also help reduce maintenance costs and shorten maintenance cycles, and improve building maintenance efficiency.
In addition to the above points, industrial videoscopes can also be used in special inspection, municipal administration, large pipelines and other fields. In fact, the applications of industrial videoscopes are far beyond the industrial field. In fact, it is also widely used in daily life and other industries. Of course, no matter which field it is in, industrial videoscopes play an important role. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application prospects of industrial videoscopes will become increasingly broad.
