ISONIC 2005 uniquely combines functionality and mobility of high performance portable digital ultrasonic flaw detector with recording, imaging, and data processing capabilities of smart computerized inspection system
ISONIC 2005 resolves a variety of ultrasonic inspection tasks:

  • A-Scan-based inspection using conventional pulse echo, back echo attenuation, and through transmission techniques

  • Straight Line Scanning and Recording:
    • Thickness Profile B-Scan imaging and recording is performed through continuous capturing of wall thickness readings along probe trace
    • B-Scan cross-sectional imaging and recording of defects for longitudinal and shear wave inspection is performed through continuous measuring of echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along probe trace
    • CB-Scan horizontal plane-view imaging and recording of defects for shear, surface, and guided wave inspection is performed through continuous measuring of echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along probe trace
    • TOFD Inspection – RF B-Scan and D-Scan Imaging

    For Straight Line Scanning and Recording it may be used:
    • 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 if using optional USB interface to multi-axis mechanical encoder and appropriate software package

For all types of Straight Line Scanning and XY-Scanning records A-Scans are captured for each probe position along probe trace and may be played back and evaluated off-line at postprocessing stage. This unique feature makes it possible off-line defect characterization through echo-dynamic pattern analysis

Thickness Profile B-Scan Data recorded during Straight Line Scanning is presented in the format compatible with various Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance procedures

ISONIC 2005 has practically unlimited capacity for storing of:
  • Single A-Scans accompanied with corresponding instrument settings
  • Ultrasonic signal spectrum graphs (FFT) accompanied with corresponding RF A-Scans and instrument settings
  • Various A-Scans sequence records along with corresponding Thickness Profiles, B-Scans, CB-Scans or TOFD Maps depending on mode of operation selected; each record is accompanied with corresponding instrument settings
