orescope Inspection of Gas Turbine Engine General Review The gas turbine borescope inspection is an internal inspection performed by a trained specialist who assesses the condition of the gas turbine from the air inlet through to the exhaust, using an instrument specifically designed to examine the gas path via the access ports positioned along the engine. These inspections are one of the primary diagnostic methods for maintaining turbo-machinery. oth rigid and flexible fiberscopes are used in conjunction with especially formed guide tubes to inspect the internal stationary and rotating components and to detect early signs of wear or impending failure. The major benefits of the inspection include equipment condition awareness and effective scheduling of any necessary maintenance interventions. In addition, greater reliability / longevity can be achieved through internal inspections, as well as reducing the potential of severe equipment damage. The operating gas turbine engine by design is exposed to high temperatures and rotates at high speeds. Internal inspections are thus necessary to determine if wear or thermal erosion is evident. In addition, these inspections will quantify if any foreign object damage (FOD) or corrosion has occurred, as well as assessing internal components for thermal deterioration, cracking or distortion. Though every effort is made to examine all accessible parts of the engine, there are parts of the engine that are not accessible to a borescope inspection. Therefore, a borescope inspection should not be considered to be an exhaustive evaluation of an engine s health. For example, corrosion of the under platform portion of a turbine blade cannot be seen in a borescope inspection. Thus, just because it was not seen in a borescope inspection doesn t mean it cannot exist.
