Test Parameters
Environment: Exposed outdoor pipelines with varying diameters (100-500mm)
Conditions: Daylight and low-light interior sections
Inspection Targets: Weld integrity, corrosion assessment, and foreign object detection, System Performance, Optical Performance
The 23mm camera assembly demonstrated excellent light gathering capability, maintaining >80 lp/mm resolution throughout the inspection range
Adaptive LED illumination (0-100% adjustable) effectively compensated for low-light conditions in buried pipe sections
Operational Characteristics
Maintained stable video transmission at 1080p/30fps up to 15m cable length
IP67-rated housing proved effective against dust ingress and light moisture
Ergonomics
2.3kg handheld controller allowed for single-operator deployment
Findings
The system successfully identified:
0.2mm+ surface cracks in welds
Corrosion pits with >15% wall thickness reduction
Minor ovality deformation in pipeline sections
Conclusion
The V8-WS23 system demonstrated robust performance suitable for field pipeline inspections, combining high-resolution imaging with practical deployment characteristics. The 23mm optical path proved particularly effective for mid-range diameter pipelines (200-400mm), offering an optimal balance between field of view and detail resolution.
