What is a Borescope Inspection?

Borescope inspection is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that uses a flexible or rigid optical instrument with a camera to visually examine the internal components of sensitive equipment, such as pipes, engines, or turbines, without disassembly. This method employs high-resolution imaging to detect wear, corrosion, blockages, or other anomalies with precision, making it ideal for applications in FPSO commissioning, industrial maintenance, and quality assurance.

Its importance lies in enhancing operational reliability by identifying maintenance needs early, reducing downtime, and preventing costly failures. By avoiding invasive procedures, borescope inspection minimizes equipment damage, ensures safety, and supports compliance with standards like ASTM, making it a critical tool for optimizing system performance and extending asset life.

Engineering and Planning

Engineering and planning a borescope inspection entails a detailed analysis of equipment specifications, including dimensional tolerances and material properties, to determine optimal access points. Selection of the borescope (flexible or rigid) is based on system geometry and required optical resolution (e.g., >720p for fine defect detection).

Process design includes mapping critical inspection zones, establishing illumination and imaging parameters, and implementing safety protocols per ASTM E1212 standards. Logistics encompass precise equipment calibration, operator certification, and scheduling to minimize operational downtime, ensuring a robust diagnostic framework for FPSO or industrial applications.
