Borescope Inspection RFQ Form: Fields That Matter

Build a borescope RFQ around asset, access, inspection objective, location, outage window and deliverables without collecting the technical job file publicly.

Overview

A borescope request becomes useful when the inspection team can answer three questions:

  1. What needs to be seen?
  2. How can the scope reach it?
  3. When can the equipment be inspected?

Company and contact

Collect:

  • company;
  • buyer/contact;
  • role;
  • work email;
  • phone.

Asset or equipment

Useful choices can include:

Allow "not sure."

  • turbine;
  • compressor;
  • engine;
  • pressure vessel;
  • heat exchanger;
  • piping;
  • pipeline;
  • tank;
  • machinery;
  • other.

Inspection objective

Ask what the buyer needs to evaluate:

Do not ask the buyer to diagnose a defect conclusively.

  • corrosion;
  • cracking / surface indication;
  • erosion;
  • foreign object;
  • wear;
  • deposits;
  • blockage;
  • weld/internal surface;
  • general condition;
  • unknown.

Access

High-value fields include:

Detailed drawings should move downstream.

  • access port available yes/no/unknown;
  • approximate opening diameter;
  • approximate insertion distance;
  • straight vs complex path;
  • equipment can be opened yes/no;
  • drawings available yes/no.

Location and timing

Collect:

  • site;
  • city/state/country;
  • outage / shutdown date;
  • preferred inspection date;
  • emergency vs planned.

Deliverables

Ask whether the buyer expects:

  • images;
  • video;
  • annotated findings;
  • measurement where the provider supports it;
  • digital report;
  • client report format.

Safe technical note

Describe the equipment and inspection goal at a high level. Do not upload controlled drawings, proprietary procedures or sensitive plant records through this public form.

CTA

Collect enough access and timing context to route the RFQ, then move the technical job package into the specialist inspection workflow.
