In the fields of petrochemical, pharmaceutical engineering, food machinery, fire protection, water supply, heating, special inspection, etc., it is often necessary to detect internal defects or cleanliness of pipelines. Conventional detection methods are difficult to directly see the internal conditions of the pipelines. Industrial endoscopes are a commonly used method and are often used in conjunction with other methods such as magnetic powder, eddy current,XIt is a non-destructive testing tool for pipeline inspection using instruments and equipment such as X-ray.

Handheld industrial endoscopes are lightweight and portable, suitable for outdoor use. Their waterproof, oil-resistant, and corrosion-resistant properties allow for direct observation of areas inaccessible to the human eye, eliminating the need for equipment disassembly, reducing potential safety hazards. These instruments are time-saving, labor-intensive, and easy to use, making them suitable for a variety of applications. For example, they can be used to inspect heating boiler pipelines for corrosion, cracks, deposits, and scaling. For pharmaceutical and chemical pipelines, they can be used to inspect welds to identify weld seams, weld bumps, cracks, and incomplete weld penetration. Industrial endoscopes are also effective for detecting excess material on the inner walls of the catheter cavity, as well as chips, burrs, and flash on the edges. Pipeline inspections can check for corrosion, scale, and deposits. Boiler inspections can examine the interior for corrosion, cracks, welds, and deposits. Heat exchanger inspections can check for corrosion, scale, cracks, and deposits. Steam turbine inspections can be used to identify damage to compressor blades caused by erosion, corrosion, and foreign matter, as well as damage to combustion chambers and turbine blades caused by high temperatures.

Coantec Ltd. industrial endoscopes currently include the C40, C50, and C60 conventional series, the C68, C65, and the new X3 and X5 multifunctional series. Based on the mode of operation, they can be divided into desktop and handheld models. The entire machine adopts an integrated ergonomic design, making operation more comfortable. Endoscopes are available in a variety of specifications, ranging from 1.8 to 8mm in diameter, 1 to 10m in length, and depth of field. The observation direction can be selected based on needs, with a direct view or side view lens. In addition, lenses of various specifications, such as near focus and far focus, can also be selected based on needs. The probe can be guided 360° in all directions, allowing for rapid and comprehensive observation of the inner cavity and surface conditions of the pipeline without blind spots, clearly presenting the defect status. The specially designed four-layer tungsten wire braided tube has a more wear-resistant tungsten wire outer layer, which can effectively protect the pipeline and prolong its service life. The pipeline is flexible and can make multiple turns in the pipeline, allowing for a longer observation distance. Fiber optic light guides and front LED light guides are optional. The rear-mounted fiber optic light guide provides enhanced illumination, with illumination reaching up to 100,000 Lx, while also reducing heat generation and potential adverse effects on probe life. The software is equipped with a variety of features, including a security password lock, support for negative/image flipping/image magnification, auxiliary measurement reference lines, the ability to add notes and watermarks, and real-time image magnification, making it more convenient and adaptable. The highly sensitive image sensor delivers smoother images. The 3D measurement function can measure point-to-point, point-to-line, point-to-plane distances, area size, multi-segment lengths, and more, enabling accurate measurement of defects down to 0.01mm.
