Videoscopes are a remote visual inspection tool and are a critical part of ensure that an offshore oil rig is operating safely and efficiently. An offshore oil rig is constructed with miles of industrial pipe line, motors, valves, turbines, diesel engines and rotating machinery. It is critical that these and other operating systems on these platforms are inspected routinely for condition. Industrial videoscopes are the best method to inspect the various components.
Videoscopes are typically used to inspect the internal condition of pipes. Engineers will look for pitting, cracking corrosion, scale and other defects with an industrial videoscope. Turbines and other rotating machinery can be inspected for condition using a videoscope to snake into the small accesses. Valves can be inspected with a videoscope for internal condition and and defect that may impair safe and efficient operation. Safety and efficiency are both improved greatly on offshore oil rigs with the use of videoscopes.
