General
ISONIC 2010 uniquely combines phased array, conventional UT, and TOFD modalities providing 100% raw data recording and
imaging. Along with superior portability, lightweight, and battery operation this makes it suitable for all kinds of every-day
ultrasonic inspections
Phased array modality is performed by powerful 32:32 phased array electronics with independently adjustable emitting and
receiving aperture, each may consist of 1 through 32 elements. Groups of phased array probe elements composing emitting and
receiving aperture may be fully or partially matching or totally separated allowing flexible managing of incidence angles, focal
distances, types of radiated and received waves including directly reflected and diffracted mode converted signals
Each channel is equipped with its own A/D converter. Parallel firing, A/D conversion, and on-the-fly digital phasing are provided
for every possible composition and size of the emitting and receiving aperture. Thus implementation of each focal law is
completed within single pulsing/receiving cycle providing maximal possible inspection speed
ISONIC 2010 is additionally equipped with independent channel for conventional UT and TOFD inspection and recording capable
for both single and dual modes of pulsing/receiving
High ultrasonic performance is achieved through firing phased array, TOFD, and conventional probes with bipolar square wave
initial pulse with wide-range-tunable duration and amplitude. Maximal amplitude of bipolar square wave initial pulse is 300 V pp
for phased array and 400 V pp for conventional channel. High stability of the amplitude and shape of the initial pulse, boosting of
all its leading and falling edges, and electronic damping are provided by the special circuit significantly improving signal to noise
ratio and resolution. Thus analogue gain for each modality is controllable over 0100 dB range
640X480 pixels 6.5 bright touch screen provides optimal resolution / power consumption rate for the outdoor operation
Weld inspection is the typical application benefited through use of True-to-Geometry imaging: upon defining geometry and
entering dimensions operator is provided with intuitive ray tracing dialogue indicating actual coverage of the weld for the desired
probe position and incidence angle steering range followed by live cross-sectional view either S-Scan or B-Scan with true-tolocation defects indication. To ensure detection of variously oriented defects several S-Scan and B-Scan insonifications may be
performed simultaneously with use of the same probe providing multi-group cross-sectional viewing and recording along whole
inspected length. In addition to simple geometry butt joints True-to-Geometry imaging technology is applicable to longitudinal,
nozzle, fillet, TKY, corner, elbow welds, and the like
Testing of solid and hollow shafts, axles, rods, billets, etc are among other applications improved significantly thanks to the easyto-interpret advantage of True-to-Geometry imaging vs regular S-Scan and B-Scan
Powerful off-line data analysis toolkit includes playing back cross sectional views and A-Scans, gain manipulation in 6dB
range for all recorded A-Scans followed by corresponding image update, all-standards-compliant gate-based evaluation of
echoes, geometry and amplitude filtering, image slicing and profiling, determining projection dimensions and area size of defects,
3D-viewing, etc
Implementation of Delta Technique is extremely simplified as only one linear array probe placed into position of
receiving maximized echo from evaluated discontinuity is used instead of pair of conventional shear wave and
longitudinal wave probes. Corresponding screen of ISONIC 2010 indicates 2 individually adjustable A-Scans
comprising direct shear wave echo (1) with AS amplitude, diffracted longitudinal wave echo (2) with AL amplitude,
and digital readout of KLS value (3) rating AS/AL
For single conventional channel operation ISONIC 2010 provides fully featured A-Scan inspection as well as line scanning
recording and imaging of the following types: thickness B-Scan; flaw detection B-Scan for angle beam and straight beam probes;
CB-Scan for guided, surface, and shear wave probes inspections; TOFD. This fully covers scope of functions implemented by
very well known ISONIC 2005 / ISONIC STAR / ISONIC 2020 portable ultrasonic flaw detector and recorder of Sonotron NDT
