Visual Inspection

Visual Inspection

Visual Inspection is one of the most widely used Non-Destructive Testing methods for the detection of discontinuities before they cause major problems, e.g. poor welding, surface defects, corrosion pits, general condition, degradation, blockages and foreign materials.

Visual Inspection means the inspection of equipment and structures using a combination of human senses such as vision, hearing, touch and smell. Visual Inspection is sometimes carried out in conjunction with devices such as a low power magnifying glass, boroscopes, fiberscopes, digital video borescopes, camera systems and robotic crawler systems.
