ISONIC 2008 uniquely combines functionality and mobility of high performance portable digital ultrasonic flaw detector with recording, imaging, and data processing capabilities of smart computerized multi-channel inspection system
ISONIC 2008 resolves a variety of ultrasonic inspection tasks:
-
A
-Scan-based inspection using conventional pulse echo, back echo attenuation, and through transmission techniques
-
Single Channel 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
-
Multi-Channel Straight Line Scanning and Strip Chart Recording:
-
Multi-Channel Thickness Profile B-Scan imaging and recording is performed through continuous capturing of wall thickness readings along probes trace
-
Multi-Channel Combined TOFD and Pulse Echo Weld Inspection and Recording is performed through continuous capturing of TOFD RF A-Scans and pulse echo channels amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along probes trace parallel to the weld
-
Multi-Channel Pulse Echo Flaw Detection for shear, surface, and guided wave inspection is performed through continuous measuring of echo amplitudes and reflectors coordinates along probes trace
-
etc
For Single and Multi-Channel 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 2008 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, TOFD Maps, strip charts depending on mode of operation selected; each record is accompanied with corresponding instrument settings
