ISONIC 2005 uniquely combines functionality and mobility of the high performance portable digital ultrasonic flaw detector with recording, imaging, and data processing capabilities of smart computerized inspection system
ISONIC 2005 allows resolving of a variety of ultrasonic inspection tasks:
- A-Scan-based inspection using conventional pulse echo, back echo attenuation, and through transmission techniques
- Line Scanning and Recording:
- Thickness Profile B-Scan imaging and recording is performed through the continuous capturing of the wall thickness readings along the probe trace
- B-Scan cross-sectional imaging and recording of defects for the longitudinal and shear wave inspection is performed through the continuous measuring of the echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along the probe trace
- CB-Scan horizontal plane-view imaging and recording of defects for shear, surface, and guided wave inspection is performed through the continuous measuring of the echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along probe trace
- TOFD Inspection – RF B-Scan and D-Scan Imaging
For the Line Scanning and Recording there are 2 ways of probe position encoding supported:
- Time-based mode (built-in real time clock)
- True-to-location mode (built-in incremental encoder interface)
- XY-Scanning and Recording with C-Scan and B-Scan imaging is also possible with use of the optional USB interface to multi-axis mechanical encoder and corresponding optional software package
For all types of the Straight Line Scanning and XY-Scanning the A-Scans are recorded at each probe position and may be played back and evaluated off-line at the postprocessing stage. This unique feature allows performing of the defect characterization through the echo-dynamic pattern analysis off-line
The thickness profile B-Scan data recorded during the Straight Line Scanning is presented in the format compatible with the various Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance procedures
ISONIC 2005 has practically unlimited capacity for the storage of:
- Single A-Scans accompanied with the corresponding instrument settings
- Ultrasonic signal spectrum graphs (FFT) accompanied with the corresponding RF A-Scans and the instrument settings
- Various A-Scans sequence records along with the corresponding Thickness Profiles, B-Scans, CB-Scans or TOFD Maps; each record is accompanied with the corresponding instrument settings
