Turbine & Boiler Inspection Solutions

Advanced videoscope inspection solutions for gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, and heat exchangers. Videtex delivers the high-resolution imaging, UV fluorescence, and thermal capabilities that power generation maintenance demands—reducing downtime and preventing failures.

Critical Power Generation Applications

Videtex videoscopes enable thorough inspection of power generation equipment during scheduled outages, reducing downtime and preventing failures.

Gas Turbine Inspection
Comprehensive borescopic examination of gas turbines to assess equipment condition and plan maintenance without disassembly. Inspect combustion chambers, turbine blades, and cooling passages for cracks, erosion, and thermal damage.

Common Challenges:

  • High-temperature environments
  • Complex internal geometries
  • Costly downtime

Inspection Areas:

  • Compressor inlet guide vanes and intermediate rotor stages
  • Combustion chambers and turbine nozzles for soot buildup, cracking, and thermal barrier coating
  • Turbine blades and guides for erosion, foreign object damage, and cooling hole integrity
  • Blade tip clearances and seal condition
Boiler Tube Inspection
Examine boiler tubes, water walls, superheater tubes, and economizers for corrosion, scaling, tube wall thinning, and integrity issues. Prevent catastrophic failures through early detection.

Common Challenges:

  • Corrosion detection
  • Scale buildup
  • Tube wall thinning
Steam Turbine Maintenance
Inspect steam turbine blades, nozzles, and seals for erosion, deposits, and mechanical damage during scheduled outages. Identify efficiency losses and prevent unplanned shutdowns.

Common Challenges:

  • Erosion patterns
  • Deposit identification
  • Seal integrity
Heat Exchanger Inspection
Examine heat exchanger tubes, tube sheets, tube bundles, and baffles for fouling, corrosion, blockages, and mechanical damage without removal. Verify cleaning effectiveness.

Common Challenges:

  • Fouling detection
  • Tube blockages
  • Corrosion assessment
