THE PROBLEM YOU'RE SOLVING

Hidden Contamination Compromises Product Quality

Internal Contamination

Welding defects, welding discontinuities and particle contamination inside the distribution piping system cannot be detected from external inspection. These contaminants cause production failures, equipment damage, and product quality issues.

Blind Verification

Standard pressure and leak testing verify integrity but cannot confirm there are no welding defects, welding discontinuities and internal cleanliness. Without visual inspection, systems may pass testing while harboring contamination that will eventually reach critical processes.

The Solution

Boroscope inspection provides direct visual verification of internal pipe conditions using flexible optical probes. This non-destructive method confirms cleanliness, identifies remaining contamination, and documents pipe condition before system operation.

WHAT IS BOROSCOPE INSPECTION?

Non-Destructive Visual Verification of Internal Conditions

Boroscope inspection uses flexible optical probes equipped with cameras and lighting to visually inspect the interior of pipes, vessels, and equipment. This non-destructive testing method verifies internal cleanliness, identifies weld defects, and documents pipe condition for quality assurance.

Why Boroscope Inspection Matters

Non-Destructive Assessment

Inspects internal conditions and Preserves system integrity while verifying cleanliness.

Weld Quality Verification

Identifies internal weld defects, penetration issues, and slag inclusions that external inspection cannot detect. Critical for high-purity piping systems.

Documented Proof

Provides photographic and video evidence of internal conditions for quality records. Audit-ready documentation for regulatory compliance.

INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS

Critical Inspection Across High-Purity Systems

Visual verification for industries where internal contamination causes process failures

Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology

Why Boroscope Inspection Matters: Pharmaceutical manufacturing requires validated piping systems free from weld defects & contamination. Visual inspection verifies internal conditions and identifies potential sources of product contamination.

Critical Applications:

Gas Distribution Systems: Visual inspection of gas piping systems.
Process Piping: Visual verification of piping systems
Post-Installation Inspection: Visual confirmation of internal conditions before validation
System Modification Verification: Inspection after repairs or expansions
Contamination Investigation: Identifies sources of unexpected particles or residues
Periodic Inspection: Internal condition assessment per validation protocols

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Boroscope Inspection FAQs

What pipe sizes can you inspect?

We can inspect pipes ½” diameter and larger, depending on access point configuration and probe specifications. Optimal inspection for pipes 1″ diameter and above. Contact us to discuss your specific pipe sizes.

How long does boroscope inspection take?

Duration varies by system complexity and inspection scope. Typical inspections: 1-2 hours for individual lines, 2-4 hours for distribution systems. Large facilities: 4-8 hours or multiple days.

Does inspection require system disassembly?

Yes. Boroscope inspection is non-destructive and requires only access through standard fittings or inspection ports.

Can you inspect systems under pressure?

No. Systems must be depressurized and safe for access before boroscope inspection. Safety protocols require atmospheric pressure conditions.

What documentation do you provide?

Comprehensive reports include: high-resolution photographs, annotated images, video recordings (if required), findings summary, recommendations, and P&ID drawings with inspection locations marked.

How often should boroscope inspection be performed?

Testing frequency depends on industry requirements and system criticality. Pharmaceutical/ Industrial: per project specifications.

Do you provide documentation for regulatory audits?

Yes. Every inspection includes comprehensive documentation: inspection reports with photographs, inspector certifications (ASNT Level II/ AWS CWI). All documentation is audit-ready.
