Inspection Camera for Liquid Container’s Concealed Interior

Challenge  The customer came to us with a specific request to inspect the enclosed interior of 55-gallon drums used for mixing fluids. After the drums are used they require complete inspection to ensure the interior is free of residue as well as check the integrity of the welded joints.   Development  The surface area is relatively large for an inspection with a small area for entrance into the drum. (1-1/4")  In the past, the customer used video probes, however, this increased the length of the inspection considerably due to the smaller field of view as well as the lack of light intensity.  Other drawbacks when using a video probe include the likelihood of damaging the equipment increasing due to their robust nature leading to a very expensive to repair. Finding a solution that would not interrupt the sequential process was imperative to this product design.  Solution The InterTest solution was to modify the former iShot Handi-wand and ruggedize the connector.
