Inspection solutions for detection, sizing & monitoring
DATA INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE DECISION
Overview
GE Inspection Technologies is a leading innovator for inspection solutions that deliver accuracy, productivity and safety to customers in a wide range of industries,
including oil & gas, power generation, aerospace, transportation and government infrastructure.
Our advanced nondestructive testing and imaging technologies utilize the electromagnetic, radiographic, ultrasonic or visible energy spectrum to test and inspect a
wide range of components. We have enormous depth and breadth of know-how which can be applied to your needs.
Corrosion & Erosion
The negative eects of corrosion and erosion cost the oil & gas and power generation industries billions of dollars every year in unscheduled plant or pipeline
shutdowns, inecient or lost production, high maintenance repair costs or imposed nes. Experts believe that 20% to 25% of corrosion-related costs could be avoided.
Corrosion and erosion detection, sizing and monitoring technologies are important elements toward realizing those savings.
Multi-Modal Oering
GE Inspection Technologies oers the most comprehensive selection of testing and inspection capabilities and other products for industrial applications. Our strength
lies in the use of eld experience and customer feedback to build the most productive inspection products in the market. With the industry's broadest complement of
nondestructive test methods to ensure our customers can be condent they are getting the optimal solution to meet their needs.

Remote Visual Inspection (RVI)
RVI is a cost-eective inspection technique used to capture real-time views and images from inside voids such as tubes, pipes, rotating machinery, engines, heatexhangers, tray towers, refractory-lined vessels and enclosed structures. RVI can be a perfect complementary technique to other NDT disciplines and is frequently used as the primary or initial inspection screening method to nd localized corrosion and erosion.
Video Borescopes
We oer an array of technologically advanced video
borescopes, from the most portable to the most
capable, all designed for ease-of-use while delivering
video images of unsurpassed quality.
Our XLG3 VideoProbe is commonly used to diagnose operational
problems with heat exchangers and other xed and rotating
renery assets.
On-site Remote Visual Inspection Service
Our sta of experienced remote imaging specialists,
equipped with the latest remote visual inspection
equipment, is available around the clock. We can assist during planned and unplanned outages, preventive maintenance, emergency services or with state
or federal compliance issues.
Nuclear plant containment building steel liner is visually inspected
with a custom 5-megapixel imaging system to meet ASME's IWE
code requirements.
