An industrial borescope, also commonly known as an industrial video borescope, is an industrial non-destructive testing instrument that can enter the interior of curved and narrow components that are not directly visible to the human eye through pipelines without disassembling the components, and observe the inner surface features or operating status of objects through an external display screen. This extends the line of sight and is a widely used non-destructive testing equipment.
So Industrial borescopes play an important role in inspecting nuclear power coolers. They can perform non-destructive inspection on the inside of the cooler without disassembling or destroying the equipment to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The following is a detailed analysis of industrial borescopes for inspecting nuclear power coolers:
Industrial borescope, also known as borescope, is a common tool in many fields. that can be used to explore deep into curved pipes, observe parts that cannot be directly seen, observe the internal space structure and state in a sealed cavity, and achieve long-distance observation and operation. It is widely used in various sectors of modern core industries such as aviation, automobiles, ships, electrical, chemical, electricity, gas, atomic energy, civil engineering, etc.
Nuclear power cooler is one of the key equipment in nuclear power plants, responsible for transferring the heat generated by the reactor to the coolant, and then releasing it into the environment through the cooling system. Therefore, the status of the cooler is directly related to the safe operation of the nuclear power plant. Regular inspection of the cooler for corrosion, fouling, foreign matter and other problems is of great significance for preventing failures and extending the life of the equipment.
Inspection content
Corrosion inspection: The industrial borescope can clearly observe the corrosion inside the cooler pipe, including the degree, location and type of corrosion.
Scale detection: The borescope can be used to check whether there is scale or other deposits in the pipe, which may affect the cooling efficiency and accelerate the corrosion process.
Foreign matter detection: Detect whether there are foreign objects in the pipe that may affect the cooling effect, such as metal fragments, welding slag, etc.
Technical advantages: High-definition imaging Modern industrial borescopes are usually equipped with high-resolution cameras and image processors, which can provide clear and bright images, allowing inspectors to accurately judge the internal conditions of the cooler.
Long-distance detection: The insertion tube of the borescope can be several meters or even longer, and it can penetrate deep into the cooler for inspection.
Versatility: Some high-end industrial borescopes are also equipped with measurement, grabbing and other functions, which can perform quantitative analysis and foreign matter handling during the inspection process.
Inspection process:
Preparation stage: Select the appropriate borescope model and insertion tube length, and prepare the necessary inspection tools and protective equipment.
Detection phase: insert the borescope into the cooler pipe, adjust the lens direction and focal length through the control handle, observe and record the internal conditions of the pipe.
Analysis phase: analyze the condition of the cooler based on the detected images and data, and formulate corresponding maintenance and repair plans.
In actual applications, industrial borescopes have been successfully used in the inspection of coolers in multiple nuclear power plants. For example, during the inspection process, problems such as corrosion areas, scale layers and foreign matter in the pipeline were found, and corresponding treatment measures were taken in a timely manner, effectively ensuring the safe operation of the nuclear power plant.
In summary, the industrial borescope is one of the important tools for inspecting the internal condition of nuclear power coolers. It has the advantages of high-definition imaging, long-distance detection and versatility, which can accurately judge the internal condition of the cooler and provide strong support for subsequent maintenance and repair. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of applications, the application prospects of industrial borescopes in the field of nuclear power will be broader.
