A system has been developed by which Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) or Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) may be performed on areas normally inaccessible or areas that would require extensive disassembly prior to penetrant inspection. This is accomplished by implementing the use of a specially designed Borescope Inspection System. This system consists of four (4) main components: An Ultra-Violet Light Source, a UV Borescope, a Penetrant Delivery System, and a Video Analyzer capable of performing high resolution image enhancement, measurement, and trend monitoring. These components are discussed in this paper.
