When a leading chemical plant faced unexpected efficiency drops in their shell & tube cooler systems, traditional inspection methods would have required 3 days of downtime and complete bundle extraction. Instead, they chose the Yateks Q Series Industrial Borescope—and completed the inspection in just 4 hours. This is one of many real-world applications where our 4.0mm diameter, 1-meter length borescope has transformed maintenance operations.
Real Case Study: Quick Problem Identification, Zero Disassembly
Client: Chemical Processing Facility
Challenge: Suspected tube blockage in a critical shell & tube cooler affecting heat transfer efficiency
Solution: Yateks Q-Series Borescope with 4.0mm diameter probe
Result:
Within 2 hours, technicians identified 12 partially blocked tubes and 3 with early-stage corrosion
No disassembly required—inspection performed during scheduled maintenance window
Repair plan implemented immediately, preventing potential unplanned shutdown
Estimated cost savings: $18,000 in avoided downtime and labor
Why the Yateks Q-Series Is Redefining Industrial Inspections
✅ 4.0mm Slim Design, Unmatched Access
The ultra-slim profile allows entry into even the most restrictive tube configurations. Unlike bulkier scopes, our 4.0mm probe navigates standard cooler tubes with ease, providing complete visual coverage without compromise.
✅ 1-Meter Reach, Complete Coverage
With a full meter of flexible yet durable probe length, technicians can thoroughly inspect deeper sections of tube bundles, U-bends, and shell-side cavities—reaching areas previously accessible only through complete disassembly.
✅ Real-World Tested Durability
Used in refineries, chemical plants, and power facilities worldwide, the Q-Series withstands high temperatures, moisture, and chemical exposure while delivering consistent performance inspection after inspection.
✅ Documentation That Drives Decisions
High-resolution imaging and video capture provide clear evidence for maintenance planning, compliance reporting, and repair validation—turning visual data into actionable insights.
