Inspect inside
Look for visible internal conditions in areas that are not accessible for direct viewing.
Borescope Inspection
Internal inspection for hard-to-access areas.
Borescope inspection uses a camera/optics system to visually inspect inside pipes, tubes, cavities and other confined spaces. It helps identify corrosion, deposits, misalignment and visible conditions where direct access is not practical.

What it is
Visual assessment with documented observations.
Borescope inspection is a visual condition assessment tool. It does not replace NDT methods that require volumetric or material property evaluation. For deeper integrity assessment, complementary NDT may be recommended.
Document findings
Capture inspection images/observations that support engineering review and maintenance planning.
Help decision-making
Support maintenance and QA teams by identifying visible deterioration and anomalies.
Limitations
Results depend on lighting, visibility, access geometry, and the condition of surfaces inside the component.
Typical use cases
Where borescope inspection fits.
Common scenarios include internal inspection of tubes/pipes and cavities where corrosion or deposits are suspected. Exact scope depends on access points and inspection objectives.
Pipes & tube interiors
Check internal condition where port access allows probe insertion and controlled viewing.
Cavities & voids
Inspect hidden spaces to identify visible anomalies and deterioration indicators.
Machinery interiors
Visual condition checks in internal regions of equipment where direct access is limited.
Inspection planning
Use borescope findings to help decide if deeper NDT (UT/RT/etc.) is needed.
Inspection workflow
Simple steps for a practical internal check.
Planning and documentation are designed to fit real industrial inspection needs.
01
Share access details
Entry/port size, component dimensions and inspection objective.
02
Plan inspection route
Agree the internal areas to view and the documentation needs.
03
Perform borescope inspection
Capture images/observations based on achievable visibility.
04
Deliver findings
Provide documented observations for engineering and maintenance review.
What to provide
Faster quote planning checklist.
Component & access
Tube/pipe/cavity dimensions and where the probe can enter.
Inspection objective
What you want to look for (corrosion, deposits, condition, anomalies).
Surface condition
Coating/inside condition (if known) affecting visibility and image quality.
Target timeline
Desired inspection date and any safety/site constraints.
Related inspections
Complementary methods when needed.
If internal visual observation indicates deeper integrity risk, UT/RT or other NDT methods may be recommended.
FAQ
Borescope inspection questions.
Is borescope inspection the same as NDT?
Borescope inspection is a visual internal condition assessment. It supports investigation and decision-making, but for volumetric integrity verification, complementary NDT methods may be required.
What access is needed?
You need an entry point/port where the borescope can be inserted and positioned to view the target area. Access geometry directly affects visibility.
What will we receive after inspection?
Documented visual observations (images/notes) that support engineering and maintenance review. Exact report format can be discussed during planning.
