The challenges of oil inspection
Your business thrives by the daily use of your gas engines. Minor failures, poor fuel quality, lack of optimum oil temperatures or even oil leaks can lead to undesirable loss of operation and loss of profitability. Therefore regular maintenance and accurate inspections are necessary to keep your business on track.
However, this can be a challenging effort since there are so many components that are barely reachable. Hence it is utterly critical that you are equipped with the right tools to execute inspections that collect reliable data.
Why are boroscopes used?
Boroscopes are optical instruments used for inspection work where the area to be inspected is inaccessible by other means. They allow users to look inside of machined parts and possibly spot internal defects that are not visible with the naked eye.
A boroscope is small enough to get inside small access areas like a screw hole that brings you inside the frame. Past years boroscopes have been crucial in the inspection of engines resulting in longer engine service life.
Boroscopes are used during the control of inaccessible inner surfaces in the production and exploitation phase or during the control of machine elements without dismantling the machine.
