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:
o Thickness Profile B-Scan imaging and recording is performed
through continuous capturing of wall thickness readings along
probe trace
o 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
o 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
o TOFD Inspection – RF B-Scan and D-Scan Imaging
• Multi-Channel Straight Line Scanning and Strip Chart Recording:
o Multi-Channel Thickness Profile B-Scan imaging and recording
is performed through continuous capturing of wall thickness
readings along probes trace
o 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
o 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
o etc.
For Single and Multi-Channel Straight Line Scanning and Recording it
may be used:
o Time-based mode (built-in real time clock)
o 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 post-processing 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.
