FAQ
What is a bore scope inspection?
A bore scope inspection is a non-destructive method that uses a flexible video scope to look inside equipment, piping systems, or valves. It allows technicians to identify wear, damage, or foreign objects without disassembling or damaging the machine.
Why are bore scope inspections important?
Many internal problems go unnoticed until they cause major damage. Bore scope inspections make it possible to detect issues like surface wear, cracks, corrosion, or even missing parts early reducing downtime and avoiding costly repairs.
How does a bore scope inspection work?
A small video scope with a camera is inserted into the equipment. Our technicians capture high-resolution digital photos of the internals, which are then reviewed to identify potential problems. This process is quick, precise, and minimally invasive.
What types of equipment benefit from bore scope inspections?
Bore scope inspections are commonly used on:
- Valves and piping systems
- Pumps and compressors
- Gearboxes and turbines
- Engines and rotating equipment
- Stored capital spares before installation
Can bore scope inspections find missing or loose parts?
Yes. Bore scopes are often used to locate foreign or missing parts that have traveled through a system, preventing further damage and ensuring safe operation.
How do bore scope inspections support spare parts reliability?
At Reliability Solutions, we use bore scope inspections as part of our capital spares preservation program. By inspecting stored spares internally, we ensure they are in working condition before they’re ever needed in an emergency.
What are the benefits of bore scope inspections?
- Non-destructive: no need to dismantle equipment
- Early fault detection to prevent major failures
- High-quality digital photography for accurate reporting
- Reduced repair costs and downtime
- Peace of mind that equipment internals are in good condition
How often should bore scope inspections be performed?
Frequency depends on equipment criticality, usage, and storage conditions. For spares, annual inspections are recommended. For operating equipment, inspections may be scheduled during routine maintenance or when issues are suspected.
