Is the ViewTech VJ-3 Video Borescope Explosion-Proof?
The ViewTech’s VJ-3 video borescope has undergone rigorous military-standard testing with NTS, which has been a partner to defense and naval contractors for more than 50 years. ViewTech’s video borescope has been designed to resist extreme conditions as shown by the MIL-STD 810G Explosive Environment Certificate. Dozens of companies choose ViewTech for their explosive environment inspections after learning about the MIL-STD 810G, consulting with their safety departments, and demoing the VJ-3 borescope at their facilities.

Are Any Video Borescopes Truly Intrinsically Safe?
Because video borescopes utilize an electrical current from either an onboard battery, or AC power to power the camera image sensor, it is not possible to classify video borescopes as Class 1 Div 1 intrinsically safe. At this time no company should claim they have a true intrinsically safe battery or AC powered video borescope. Any claims of intrinsically safe borescopes should be backed up with paperwork and carefully vetted and reviewed with your safety department.
Some borescopes, like the ViewTech VJ-3, have passed tests related to safety in explosive environments.
What Is MIL-STD 810G?
When the VJ-3 video borescope was tested by NTS in accordance with MIL-STD-810G, Method 511.5 explosive atmosphere, procedure I explosive atmosphere, the ViewTech video borescope operated as designed and testing was completed without igniting the testing chamber where the risk of an explosion was present.
