ISONIC 3505 carries the exceptionally innovative ultrasonic card with
never-saturated-receiver – for the first time ever the instrument keeps
the linearity over 140 dB dynamic range digitizing the originally
received signals independently on the gain and rectification settings in
every firing / receiving cycle. Once the single A-Scan or the sequence of
A-Scans forming a record is stored into a file it may be reproduced off-
line in the form desired by an operator (RF, half- or full wave rectified,
FFT) at any gain level over the 140 dB range. So even in case of very
significant deviation of the pre-inspection gain setting from the
required one the observation and evaluation of the recorded data may
be performed at the right levels without secondary scanning.
The top level ultrasonic performance of ISONIC 3505 is achieved
thanks to the above noted never-saturated-receiver and to the
versatile firing circuit allowing forming of either Spike, Unipolar-, or
Bipolar Square Wave initial pulse with wide-range-tunable duration and
amplitude (up to 400 Vpp). The high stability of the square wave initial
pulse amplitude within entire duration of the positive and negative
half-waves, the extremely short boosted rising and falling edges and
the automatic adaptive damping allows optimizing of the ultrasonic
wave penetration into various materials characterized either by high or
low grain size, sound attenuation, and the like and improving of the
signal to noise and the resolution.
As it’s predecessor ISONIC 2005 (also known as ISONIC 2020 in the
South East Asia and ISONIC STAR in China), which became one of the
most popular instruments across the world with over decade market
life, ISONIC 3505 may be operated as:
•
superior performance A-Scan set including the spectrum
analyser for ultrasonic signals
•
fully featured (data capturing and enhanced postprocessing)
standalone TOFD unit
•
general purpose CB-Scan machine for the performing of:
o
SRGW (short range guided wave) inspection and imaging also
known as SRUT
o
surface / shear wave inspection and mapping
volume overlay incidence angle / skip corrected high resolution flaw
detection B-Scan and Thickness Profile recorder
•
C-Scan through raster scanning with straight- and angle beam
probes either mechanic-free or with use of the mechanized or
automatic XY scanner (optional)
with 100% raw data storage
Thanks to the never-saturated-receiver ISONIC 3505 is featured with
the ability of individual gain control for both independent gates over
the range of 140 dB separately from the rest of the A-Scan reproduced
at the global instrument gain. This opens a number of new abilities
such as:
•
implementing pulse echo and back echo attenuation inspections
simultaneously with use of the same A-Scan whilst monitoring the back
echo amplitude at the clearly visible level without affecting the
sensitivity of the pulse echo inspection
•
increasing the detectability of subsurface defects for TOFD
inspection through shortening the tail of lateral wave signal
dynamically
•
precise materials characterization through the signal spectrum
analysis independent on the instrument gain setting
•
etc
ISONIC 3505 is fully controllable over Ethernet and featured with the
hardware triggering in/out terminals and the interface echo triggering
making it suitable for use in various integrated systems
The lifetime free software upgrade policy is provided for ISONIC 3505
as for all other instruments from Sonotron NDT
ISONIC 3505 is packed into the IP 65 reinforced plastic case with no
intake air or any other cooling means. The large 800X600 8.5” bright
screen provides fine resolution and visibility for all types of inspection
data presentation at strong ambient light along with the optimized
power consumption rate for the outdoor operation.
