Visual Inspection is the first NDT known to man. It is also, even today, the most utilized and valuable NDT method. Visual Inspection can be classified into two broad categories: Direct and Remote (Borescope) Visual Inspection.
Direct visual inspection is performed with the surface of a test piece in the line of sight of the examiner. For remote visual inspection, optical devices such as borescopes, fibroscopes, videoscopes etc are utilized to image area under consideration in the eye piece and/ or LCD panel.
Some of the visual inspection activities performed by AEIS personnel include:
