With borescopes and videoscopes you can inspect hard to reach areas, items that you have no immediate access to and can’t immediately inspect. There would also be a large commercial implication if you were to have to completely dismantle the item in order to get a clear view for the visual inspection.

 

There is a clear difference between borescopes, fiberscope and videoscopes. The borescope is a rigid optical instrument, where the fiberscope is more flexible for the situation where you would want to manoeuvre around corners. Videoscopes are the latest in technology when referring to endoscopic/visual inspection and the image is available in real time.

 

The basic two most common things are inspecting turbine and compressor blades in engines and combustion chamber. When using RVI on the blades you’re looking for cracks from wear or impact. When inspecting a combustions chamber you’re looking for cracks, faulty fuel injectors, or anything that looks like it could be wrong.
