Aircraft need on-condition maintenance that can be done by detecting failures before they happen to ensure preventive maintenance. Borescopes are required to perform various types of inspections during which maintenance personnel any detect the problems to delay the failure and prevent any mishap. It is also ideal to find out any issue and replace the equipment on-time. Borescope inspection of an engine to find any FOD, wear and damage is must. It helps maintain the durability and reliability of the aircraft gas turbine.
Areas of Borescope Inspection
  • Combustion Chamber: Burner cans are properly tested for any cracks. Fuel nozzles, louvers and other parts, including are also tested for unnecessary coking, damaging, cracking and distortion.
  • Compressor: Compressor blades along with guide vanes are tested for foreign object damage (FOD) and corrosion.
  • Turbine Section: The highest heat levels are experienced in the first stage turbine; hence guide vanes and stationary nozzles can be burnt, cracked, eroded and damaged. Second stage blades are also subjected to rivet cracking and shifting.
  • Modern engines are well-equipped with high-end borescope. Different sizes of diameters ensure proper access of the inspection area of guide tubes to facilitate quick and trouble-free inspections. Proper bore scope inspections reduce aircraft downtimes and also detect service requirements. These visually advanced inspection devices are available with high-quality industrial videoscopes and borescope systems to ensure no inspection of turbines and other hard to access areas.
