Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA videoscope

The Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA is a long-distance videoscope designed for remote visual inspection (RVI) of piping systems and heat exchangers. It offers users the ability to reach faraway inspection targets quickly and easily with its 30-meter (98-foot) insertion tube. This videoscope is built with high-quality image sensors, brightness, and advanced image processing, enabling users to see more during their inspections.

Key Features

The IPLEX GAir IV98200GA videoscope is known for its flexibility and maneuverability, allowing it to move through complex piping systems with multiple elbows easily. It is equipped with a tapered flex insertion tube that gradually increases in flexibility toward the distal end, further enhancing its maneuverability. The videoscope’s guide head reduces friction and easily passes over joints between pipes, while the universal push rod adaptor enables a smooth passage through pipes and elbows.

To ensure optimal inspection visibility, the IPLEX GAir IV98200GA videoscope is equipped with ultra-bright LED illumination that provides a wide view and does not decay in intensity over long distances. Its PulsarPic™ processor actively adjusts the lighting to maintain the right level of brightness, and real-time distortion correction allows for clear images with 120°, 180°, and 220° equivalent fields of view, The long exposure mode enables a better probability of detection in large spaces, while the oil-clearing tip adaptor ensures clear images in oily environments.

Benefits

The Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA is an excellent tool for inspecting complex piping systems efficiently. Its maneuverability and advanced features enable fast and accurate inspections of long, complex piping systems that can be challenging to navigate and inspect. In addition to its efficiency, the Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA also enhances safety in hazardous environments. Its long insertion tube and high-quality imaging capabilities allow users to visually inspect dangerous or hazardous areas, such as inside nuclear power plants while maintaining a safe distance.

The Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA is built with high-quality image sensors, brightness, and advanced image processing, which enable it to provide clear and detailed images, even in large spaces. Its wide-view capabilities enable users to see everything they need in a single inspection. Using the Olympus IPLEX GAir IV98200GA can also result in significant time and cost savings. Its long insertion tube and advanced features enable faster and more efficient inspections, reducing downtime and associated costs.
