PA UT (PAUT): Carbon Fiber - CFRP

Inspection of the carbon fiber (CFRP) panels for the debonding, porosity, and other structural defects is performed by the ISONIC 3510T, ISONIC 3510, ISONIC 2010, and ISONIC 2009 UPA Scope instruments with use of the linear array probes equipped with the solid delay line or the rolling linear array probes with the soft contact surface protector and water-filled delay line. The standard 0-deg linear scan (B-Scan) mode provides the cross-sectional coverage. The line scanning either encoded or time-based provide the volume coverage along the scanning line within entire width of the PA probe



The following functionality is provided for the inspection of CRFP raw material, parts, and assemblies:
  • Intuitive Image Guided PA Pulser Receiver with Beam Forming View
  • Operating Linear Array Probes Equipped with Delay Line
  • B-Scan (Linear Scan) Cross Sectional Coverage and Imaging
  • Gate View B-Scan
  • FD B-Scan - Frequency Domain B-Scan
  • True-To-Geometry-Volume Corrected B-Scan (Linear Scan) Coverage for Planar Cross Section parts / sections of the material
  • Encoded and Time based Line Scanning with 100% Raw Data Capturing and Top (C-Scan)- / Side- / End- / 3D- Imaging
  • DAC / TCG Normalization
  • Independent on TCG Gain Per Focal Law Correction
  • DAC / TCG Data / Image Normalization
  • Independent on TCG Angle Gain Per Focal Law Correction
  • Automatic Defects Alarming Upon C-Scan Acquisition Completed
  • Automatic Creation of Editable Defects List
  • Comprehensive Postrpocessing Toolkit Including:
    • Recovery and Evaluation of Captured A-Scans from the Recorded Cross Sectional Views (B-Scan) and C-Scans
    • Recovery of the Cross Sectional Views from the Recorded C-Scans>
    • Converting Recorded C-Scans or their Segments into 3D Images
    • Off-Line Gain Manipulation
    • Off-Line DAC to TCG / TCG to DAC toggling for all types of stored files (A-Scans, cross-sectional views, C-Scans, etc)
    • Off-Line DAC Normalization of the Recorded Images / DAC Evaluation
    • Off-Line editing of Gain per Shot Correction applied to the stored the Cross-sectional Views / C-Scan data
    • Numerous Filtering / Reject Options ( by Geometry / Position / By Amplitude db-toDAC / etc )
    • Defects Sizing
    • Automatic Creation of Defect List and Storing it Into a Separate File
    • Automatic creating of inspection reports - hard copy / PDF File
