What Is Visual Inspection?
Visual Inspection (VI) is one of the most essential and widely applied non-destructive testing methods used to evaluate the condition, quality, and safety of industrial components and structures. As the first line of defence in defect detection, it identifies visible surface issues such as cracks, corrosion, weld discontinuities, and deformation that could compromise structural integrity.
Using advanced tools such as magnifiers, borescopes, cameras, and remote video systems, trained inspectors can accurately assess both easily accessible and confined areas. This straightforward yet powerful technique forms the foundation of any effective inspection program, ensuring early detection of potential defects before they escalate into costly or hazardous failures.
