METHOD FOR INSPECTING AND/OR REPAIRING SURFACE DAMAGE OF A COMPONENT IN AN INTERIOR OF A DEVICE, USING FLUORESCENT PENETRANT INSPECTION (FPI), AS WELL AS A BORESCOPE INSPECTION KIT

摘要

The invention relates toa method for inspecting and/or repairing surface damage of a component in a device via an access opening, using fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI), with a borescope inspection kit comprising flexible conduits, a display screenand a borescope system comprising a borescope with an insertion tube having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end of the borescope comprising a cameraand a lighting arrangement comprising a UV lightsource, the camera and the lighting arrangement beingarranged for viewing and providing light in a viewing or lighting direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the insertion tube, wherein the distal end is provided with a rotatable head, whereina flexible conduit comprising a distal tip and a proximal tip is insertable into the insertion tube for slideable reception of the distal tip by the rotatable head.
