Care and Handling of Borescope Equipment describes the basic care and use of Borescope equipment as used for inspecting the internal passages of Turbine engines. The major components of both flexible and rigid borescopes are shown including the light sources, positioning clamps, and the precision optical telescope. This video demonstrates the assembly of components, how it is used and inserted into the engine, conditions such as heat, vibration, and radiation which will damage the equipment and especially the fiber optic components, cleaning the components, and proper storage.
