Description
Details
The P-UV series 6 mm diameter flexible videoscope is used for remote visual examinations where fluorescence is observed. UV illumination, provided by the instrument, creates fluorescence in many materials. The inspection techniques of Magnetic Particle Testing (MPI) and Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) enhance the visibility of discontinuities through fluorescent dyes. Typical applications for these techniques include components used in aircraft and land-based engines, gun tubes, and many other mechanical parts. The instrument meets the UV intensities required for these techniques. See the UV Output Data tab for more information. The chart of measured output values is seen below.
The P-UV 6 mm videoscope has a CMOS image process system with 160,000 pixels, providing ultra-clear images on an 8” touchscreen color display. A joystick control moves the instrument's distal tip through 360° of articulation to allow easy access within complex part geometry.
The basic principle of using an Ultraviolet Borescope System is that when certain substances are exposed to ultraviolet light, there is a fluorescent reaction that can be easily observed. This process is used especially in Aerospace applications, to visually detect small discontinuities in components of Aircraft Engines. The P-UV Series meets or exceeds the common UV Light requirements to enable (FPI), Fluorescent Penetrate Inspection, or (MPI), Magnetic Particle Inspection.
